Hello All,
The 2017 - 2018 windsurfing season is here !
A few windy days have already been enjoyed in the North and the South with some inspiring images appearing on the forum.
Fortunately the warmer weather is just around the corner for those who are holding out until the fingers and toes aren't so frozen.
Now that the club is formally incorporated the Calendar is fully packed.
The unearthing of some fabulous old trophies such as the Marrawah cup and the Cape country trophy will see these being awarded and engraved this year.
Trophies will be allocated to the Northern and Southern Free race events and the King of the Tamar.
A new youth event and and two learner days are also on the programme.
The calendar is a balance of Social, Freeride, Wave and GPS events.
Hope this inspires a season of fun, competitive and social sailing.
If you would like to participate in any of the events contact numbers are provided with each event.
The details, meet times and on the day venues calls, will be discussed via the Seabreeze forum closer to their upcoming dates.
