We are going to stay for a week as well at Burrum,can't wait i'm bringing my 7.5-6.2-5.6 and Manta 67 Carbon art 50, if i can't get a sail with that gear i think a big drinking session is in order![]()

Did you see the news last night. They are setting traps for a big Croc sighted in the Burrum River......we not fall off.![]()
Water starts will be quicker and more dry gybes, better watch Guy Cribb a lot more.it will be like sailing around Cairns, look out for logs with teeth at one end.
sign on forms for the event can now be found at the following address.http://www.caloundrawindandsurf.com.au/Speedcomp.htm
cheers for the patience.

Just a quick question!
A PFD is mandatory, so i went to buy one, there are ratings on them ranging from 4 to 1. IS there any specific one we are meant to have to enter the competition?
Cheers

Hi Guys, I can't get there that weekend. I just cancelled my booking at burrum Sands. First in will get it.![]()
Have fun.


yes, it does appear that something is in the pipe in the coral sea. ![]()
time will tell.
at this stage most of the computer models are showing a low NE of CQ coast early to mid next week. anything can happen though and probably will.
the bom is also releasing statements about the lows as they deepen or move.
the models that give 2 weeks notice are EC & GFS. but with so much predicted action in the coral sea happeing they really can't be relied upon.
hi mate,
yep, the link is down. i contacted the host today and they tell me it will be 2 days.
i'll email you the pdf's tonight.
if anyone else needs a set of forms please pm me with your contact email and i'll send them through.
cheers. J
