I know it doesn't really feel like the season is about to begin as it is still bloody cold, but it is! The first round of this years NSWWA competition begins very soon.

Over the winter the crew from NSWWA have beeen working hard on improving the running of all events and with new a starting systems (Developed and engineered by Dan Berry), a move back towards man on man finals and a heap of other new ideas this years competition format will surely prove to be a winner. Many hours of hard work from the new commitee will undoubtedly see one of the best seasons yet (come on huey!).

In terms of sponsorship a huge thanks has to go out to Neil Pryde who are again sponsoring the entire series. Another big thanks must also go out to Severne/Starboard, Exocet, Wind Surf n Snow and Dirty Dog Eyewear all of these guys have put in some great prizes and offered heaps of support through event sponsorships. There is talk of some great demo gear to be supplied to NSWWA members, will keep you posted.

To combat the problem of no-wind events we will be running a stand up paddle board comp (limited demo boards avaliable), conduct wave sailing coaching seminars, a swap meet at Birubi on Saturday and awesome BBQ's with plenty of Amber Ale.

Membership forms will be sent out early next week, if your not on the nswwa mailing list PM me your details and we will send it to you. Check out the website for more info www.nswwavesailing.org

See you all at Birubi
