Big winds and big seas meant for challenging conditions at Windang but soooooo good. Fantastic DTL conditions on 3/4 mast sets with some huge bombs!!!
Outstanding sailing all day. WIN tv got some footage which should be aired Monday or Tuesday night.
Congratulations to the winners and thanks to Neil Pryde for the awesome prizes!
Ams winner Ben Kirk
Masters winner Jason Cater
Pros winner Duncan Osborne

Great day

Mmm there were lots of cameras on the beach so bound to be a few good quality photos soon. They might be posted on NSW WA Facebook page

I have some lost property from the weekend - a jacket and some windsurf gear
Send me a pm if you think it might be yours
Cheers
Tim

Not that you care but Longy was too rough. 2 guys managed to get out but wind was too light & patchy. Bombies were at least 3 metres, no-one surfing.

I was looking at sailing Makaha. It looked pretty good but with no one around I was a bit hesitant. Then I saw the lifeguards cruising around in a zodiac. Looked scary big. Solid mast high... probably bigger at times.

v difficult to get off the CPR!!!

Come on zack, we are all stinging to see some of those shots mate.

Sick day! Good effort to get a comp done in those conditions

Cracked my board so i missed my heat - didnt want it filling up with water, then when rigging down my sail got picked up by a tiny gust and dropped on a spiked fence, slicing 1m of it open!!

Ah well, was worth it, had the time of my life all morning.

Keen to see some photos

Here's a still shot taken from the highlights reel as shot on the weekend:

We must wait till WIN run their story tonight (most likely a short voice over clip as part of a sports wrap) that will air on Wollongong's WIN news tonight which can only be viewed in the Wollongong broadcast area.

Once it has aired we will have a few more options in regards to displaying more

Segment on WIN TV:

The best windsurfing event i have seen in years. I remember the days grovelling around waiting for the wind, or trying to wave ride chop during the old days.

PS nearly makes me want to get my gear out of the garage. (nearly)
