The raceboard worlds began last night in spectacular fashion with the opening ceremony at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron.

This is a massive tribute to the organisers and another great win for Windsurfing in Queensland and Windsurfing Queensland the club.

In recent years there have been two raceboard nationals held here, a number of wave events, all of the national slalom, freerace and freestyle events are in Qld (in Cairns) and now to top it all off we are holding the worlds.

Over a decade ago I had a dream that this was all possible and we went about structuring WQ to cater for it but now seeing 100k worth of designated Windsurfing facilities and 100k worth of charter equipment and general use equipment on the RQYS grounds, it has actually surpassed the expectations of my dream.

There have been far to many people involved in making this happen to list everyone but you know who you are and I'd like to thank you on behalf of the windsurfing community.

Here are some photo's from last night and also a link to the raceboard Facebook site so you can follow proceedings. www.facebook.com/RaceboardClass/
