It's on again!



I have started work on the annual Burrum Heads pilgrimage event.

Full sponsor details and prizes will be posted as the details are confirmed.
Categories for this year will be similar to the previous event.

Once again we are running

Radar racers class,

Gps class with the following divisions.

1hr
NM
5x10sec
2 sec peak
ladies

Major prizes will once again be lucky draw.

I would also like to welcome local Geoff R to the management committee to help make the event even bigger and better for 08/09. Geoff brings decades of local and national experience to the table.

This year's event will also be combined as a WindWanderers travel meet. Burrum has a lot to offer both for those serious about going very fast and those looking for a party and some quality bump and jump conditions.

I will be keeping everyone up to speed and announcing the competition dates as soon as permits have been confirmed.

It's been a great past few days at Burrum Heads, with the low pressure system hanging of the coast we have been scoring some strong South Easterlies.
The Brissy Boys came up to play and we saw some great sailing.
Bump and Jump at high tide with Julian from France performing all manner of impressive twirling spinning things. Speed runs on Saturday afternoon at low tide were great fun. For me the first time I strapped on a GPS was a new experience, quite addictive really.

I was worn out on Sunday morning but I hear Vando and Pierre pushed the limits and set a new queensland record!

Plenty of broken gear over the weekend. Vando broke both arms of a Boom and his mast in a crash while drag racing with Geoff. Later the same day he tore the fin off his board on hidden rocks and was lucky not to do serious injury coming to a sudden stop in inched of water. I had a nice stack which tore the spreader bar clean off my harness.

It was great to sailing with different crew, I hope you enjoyed yourselves and will be back soon.

Here's some pics and video from Saturday afternoon.

Here's Vando:


Here's footage of my first ever speed run.
Pretty happy to get 28.1kn on my wave gear.



Here's Pierre:





Here's a pic of the crew:
Rip-in-gale, Vando, knot board, Geoff and Hooray watching Pierre approach on a hot run. Peter is standing guard on the rocks to warn of hidden dangers

This photo shows Vando nervously looking for those bloody rocks which torn off his fin a on previous run.
