Australia Day 2012 was celebrated in style by Inverloch Windsurfing Club and GOKITE. The day began with our traditional flag raising and annual formation "sail by" performed by around 15 sailors, mostly on retro longboards. This is our version of the first fleet. Each windsurfer had an Aussie flag affixed somehow as we co-ordinated 3 precision passes of the Angling Club foreshore.

After that we fired up the BBQ and enjoyed a sausage sizzle. Another great job done by Ian and Cara. For dessert we had fantastic home made Lamintons and Anzac biscuits. Tash they were delicious.

After lunch it was time to play some beach cricket. The challenge had been set and the guantlet thrown down, between IWC and GOKITE in what we hope will be an annual cricket match. If IWC was to lose to GOKITE in this challenge, our club President would have a kitesurfing lesson and if GOKITE lost, a windsurfing lesson would be given to Kate. 4 teams of 6 were formed, (2 for each side), heats were played and then came the final hitout. IWC were the winning team on the day.

The day was a fantastic chance to all get together and have some fun. Thanks to all whom attended. I will ask Mrs Fireman Sam to upload some photos!
