Can't wait to catch up with all my f**kwit and idiot brothers and sisters,.......and Byron.

Friendly reminder only three weeks to go before the see and sand festival kicks off this years slalom and GPS serries.
Also please book your accommodation for Myall as they will not hold onto the camp sites and remaining cabins for much longer.

Where do the GPS Freerace events appear on the Sand and Sea events program, there's Course Racing but no GPS?

As far as I'm aware there are not any restrictions on foiling board size, Berowne.

As the anticipation builds and people start watching the forecast multiple times per day we thought it was a good time to clarify the event schedule and format for the Sand and Sea festival from a NSW Slalom / GPS series perspective. (Note: Course racing not part of NSW Slalom Series)

Current long range forecasts are predicting wind and a fair bit of it at times, but unfortunately not the favoured / desirable North Easterly we had all dreamed of, So racing in likely to be all focused around Huskisson / Vincentia area with winds from NW - SE expected over the weekend.

Given the offshore conditions safety will be paramount and the organisers have assured us that there will be adequately serviced by multiple rescue boats patrolling the course areas during our event times.It's an ambitious format but is sure to be very rewarding if everything lines up;

Sincere thanks for this info. Well done.

Thanks everyone for the info, I was just packing more beer into the fridge in anticipation of no racing. Should I take it out

With a great strong forecast for Saturday it's not too late to escape Sydney or the Gong to be part of this great event this Saturday & Sunday, Current entries for the Slalom/GPS exceed 25 and when combined with the longboard's it is sure to be quite the spectacle with over 50 sailboards taking part.

You can still enter on the day

Postcard weather this arvo, wish i had been sailing, congrats to all that made it

The 2nd GPS half hour on Sunday was perfect Husky nor easter. Beautiful runs down the swell, 7.7m heaven. Brilliant decision to allow sailing across the whole bay.
