Hey salty, the judging is pretty straight forward, head out and sail at the end of each session the judges will pick who they thought was the best in that session. You will be judged on everything you do in that session, so jumps, rides, turns, spins and bribes...yeah they all count.
Also any competitor may be asked to provide some input into the judging of a division they are not competing in.
Mr Seks... To be fair to all and give everyone a good chance just the one category entry allowed. However that is not to say you can't spend every waking moment on the water, just be respectful to the guys that are being judged is all we ask. The main aim here is to have fun.
Forecast is looking sweet 
Just hoping we get thoughs classic currumbin waves 
Jamie who have you got for judging 
Someone mentioned that maybe the guys from the boardriders club are going to do it.
Right now I'm sitting at the rocks drinkin a beer and watching the surf, I was flying this morning though. ,
The forecast:
from BOM...
Saturday: SE winds 20/25 knots.
Sunday: SE winds 15/20 knots.
And Coastalwatch is forecasting 5 to 6 ft for Saturday and 4 to 5 ft for Sunday.
Swell report for today from Coastalwatch...
Swell size: 3-5ft E
The swell is bigger and a bit uneven out of the E at around 3-5ft, with the odd bigger one. The winds are light from the SW now and are predicted to go SE later. The swell has plenty of push behind it and swimming is dangerous. There are few outside bombs on the beachies at TOS, from Mermaid to Tugun and D'bah early, but the points are the pick by far with a strong sweep at Burleigh and Currumbin and from Snapper to Kirra is the pick. Check out the latest Coastalwatch swell forecast.
Forecast is still looking good for both days. Below is a pic of the Alley from this morning...hmmmm nice
Saturday isn't looking to hot wind wise can one rock up on sunday and still enter?
hehe - i think i might bring a spare mast or 2... 6ft and wind shadows :)
Tis looking interesting!!!!
see you all there tommorow.
peace.
I heard that Oli went out today, haven't heard about anyone else.
It's about 20 knots out side right now
Oh and will have a couple of guest judges from Surfing Services. They are keen to see what our guys can do with this swell.
And an update to the swell forecast: Saturday 6ft, Sunday 6ft+.... Wednesday 7ft+ (might have to take a day off work)
Bom is still forecasting 20/25 knots across the entire weekend.
Dan told me it was going off

Went down for a look-see today.

You can go to Coastalwatch.com, then Currumbin and check the replays for 1pm, 2pm etc. You'll see people sailing.http://www.coastalwatch.com/camera/cameras_large.aspx?cam=1600&state=QLD&t=8:54:28%20AM&camName=Currumbin

Suffice to say the results were:
Open:1st Dan Berry - 2nd Shane Finigan
Master: 1st Oli Barta - 2nd Pete Meyers
Amateur: 1st Tatsuhiro Ishii
thanks mate. That turned out t be one of the best 2 days of sailing (and swimming) Ive ever had, thumbs up to jaime and the boys for running the comp so well, and also Currumbin boardriders for cutting us some slack and letting us run the comp in the alley, much appreciated.
two snapped masts, $1000
one trashed sail, $700
multiple broken battens, $100
... getting mast high, down the line perfection in QUEENSLAND, priceless!
congrats dan on first place...
cheers to jamie and all the sponsors, an amazing weekend was had...
i have about 10 mpeg clips which i will collate and put on youtube and post the link here... some great footage!
see you all at the alley next time its blowin SE!
chris
Man thats looks insane sounds like it was a great week alround for windsurfing in QLD
Breaking your own mast is good, breaking someone else's mast may be even better hey Chris.
The tally as I know of it is...
4 masts
3 trashed sails
1 boom
and 1 full rig...mast, sail, boom, the lot all gone.
A full report for the event with the selection of the best pics will be part of the next issue of Oz Windsurf. I will endeavour to post some more of the pics that may not make the article over the next day or so.
How many kms swam you think jaime ? I recon I could take half the overall tally myself
just checked with the gps, 3km from the alley to the second groin, twice! That's 6km in one session + the sail back upwind. Beat that one
