Just wanted to add my congrats to jamie and the team. Not sure how you organised the epic conditions but an early request for next year seems like a good idea.
I had a great time in my first ever comp. Did the palm beach walk of shame many times but fortunately there was plenty of others to keep me company.
Good job to all the well deserved winners but I think a special mention should go out to Gary who I thought was unlucky not to end up on the podium somewhere.
Ps Bowsa - you'll notice the mast might have snapped by the quality second hand 5.0m ezzy remains intact
haha, MARTIN! mate as soon as we left on sunday arvo i realised where i knew you from haha, sorry about my bad memory... but yeah sunday the trusty ol ezzy wave did me proud, albeit til my mast snapped and the whole of the mast sleeve, from above the boom clamp opening to the top of the sail tore... not to worry i havent lost my faith in ezzys yet!
and mucksy... no comment, muhaha ![]()
Yea Gary was ripping, taking off waaaay deep behind the rock. I thought Jaime said he came third? Could be mistaken though.
Cant wait to see more pics Jaime
Yeah Gary was our pick for third.
I am holding of on my pics for the moment to see which ones Kirk wants to use for Oz Windsurf... then I will throw what's left up here.
I'm surprised more photos haven't turned up - I spotted several people over weekend taking pics with good cameras.
Steshegler is right, and many of my Sunday photos are average to say the least due to stuffing up one setting in the camera...doh!!!
But I know at least two of the guys with cameras there will have the pics in Oz Windsurf. Along with a full write up on the event. If we want publications like these to continue we need to make sure they have something to publish.
Absolutely guys. I had intended to come up this year but had conflicting schedule, so perhaps next year? That way you can focus on what you do best and I can focuss on what I do best
The Kirkster at OzWindsurf will get top quality pics and story, and you all get a disc with 100's of professional action photos of yourself.
Actually the photos at the beginning of this thread are pretty hot - can someone tell me who took them?

thanks jodie,
that would be me. ![]()
avid contributor to ozwindsurf also. Kirk is the man! ![]()
i would dearly have loved to go to the currumbin classic and get some shots
hopefully next year as this year i was at the burrum speed event.
I was just trying to make it sound good aj. I wasn't going to tell them you did it pulling on too much downhaul![]()
Any more pics jaime??
great pics jamie,
song competition for the oli pic would be,
should i stay or should i go now - by the clash ![]()
Jeezz i know this sounds negative but i thought there were more than the 6 guys that got trophies in attendance. Guess everyone else sucks ass eh!
the picks that have been put up are the best of what was taken, regardless of who it was.
In saying that, there is a reason why there is so many picks of the guys that picked up the podium positions... they simply stood out.
for those of you who weren't there... those pictures represent the people who could get through the 6-8ft break at the alley for more than one wave. there were about 25 of us, but only about 8 or so could manage to get through... i managed to get through for only about 7 waves in the whole weekend, and snapped 2 masts and wrecked a sail in the process - and i wouldn't say i'm a crap sailor...
i say good on ya jamie for upping the pics, and the rest of you, all i can say is... i didn't see you there...
