Here is the website....http://www.freeracequeensland.com/

We are obviously negotiating sponsors currently, we have some on board already and they all will be added soon, sponsors are incredibly important for the success of the series due to new council fees.

The website will explain all concepts and 95% of all questions...please read all pages of the website before asking any, we have covered most!


You also really need to 'like' the event on Facebook also, as this is where a lot of the updates will be done, along with Seabreeze.

www.facebook.com/queenslandfreerace.queenslandfreerace?viewas=100000686899395&privacy_source=privacy_settings_page

The FB logo on the website should link you through also.

The event is brought to you buy Windwanders www.windwanderers.org.au/Home.aspx, it's not for profit and it's all about promoting the sport of windsurfing at it's best and most fun, to both current windsurfers, past windsurfers and future !

If your interested in getting on board in a sponsorship way (we are looking for non windsurfing industry support also, ) PM me.

In the mean time, get practicing and get ready for 'flat out fun'

HI Guys, update...
the Facebook page went nuts ! like 100 in 24 hrs!, so to avoid being shutdown by FB we needs to set up a Organisation page....
so look up Freerace Queensland and you will find us...during the week we will shut down the first page and keep the organisation page only.
Even if your not a Face Booker its important to get on to site and like etc as we will do a lot of updates, photos etc there.

hope this link gets you there.

The above image is not quite correct(sorry got this around the wrong way). Will do an update and post here. The actual sailing areas is more of a diamond shape with the two markers at the opposite corners.

it's one of the best spots around.

like queens beach the shoreline is elevated so the spectators get a full overview of the area. plus, it's one of the windiest places in the South east for anything from the north through east to the south.

Anyone getting excited yet?!!!!
Should I mention that many of the above sponsors will translate to awesome random prizes that you could win simply by entering any of the events?!

A huge thanks to the above, please support our sponsors this event would not be possible without their support.
If you haven't already Make sure to 'like' the FB site for updates to the series and each event as it gets closer.

Time to get excited and tell everyone, present and past sailors, non sailors , with so many sails in the water at once close to shore its going to be great for spectators .
Spread the word!
Bribie island Race 1
1st Sunday of October.

* we also hope to have some spare GT31's available to hire at each event also.

Next update here on SB will be next week, check out the FAQ page on the website for more details.
