There are Green arrows for the north on Sunday, and if the wind does actually appear I will run Races at Lagoon beach Low head.
For those northern folk unfamiliar with the colour green (its been a while!!!) green is the colour of Kermit The Frog..
Certainly it is possible to course race in the Tamar with the dinghy sailors around a traditional triangle. There can be a few other windsurfers sometimes and occasionally there are just dinghies.
Racing at Low Head will just be slalom style assuming that the wind comes in as forecast. The course will be decided on the day depending on who wants to race and their abilities. I am quite happy to run a couple of different races if that's what people want.
That´s sound really good,
I just arrived to Lonny and I am looking for cheap material to return to windsurfing!

One of the guys at Low head has a Starboard rio for sale maybe you could check it out on Sunday. I am pretty sure another Low Head Guy has a JP freestyle for sale. Have you bought a car yet?

How far up the river people sail?
In theory there are some pretty good ramps in the first basin but I don't think windsurfing will ever be as popular there as it is in the Columbia River Gorge!!
Ok so race Briefing will be at 10 am Sunday....at Lagoon Beach.....I have prizes.....To race you need to be a member of windsurfing TAS. I will bring some membership forms.
Sounds great Al..Clarence is the only one I know of that has sailed the gorge...hardcore
Conditions looking great for today and the race across the river. Hoping to see a good turn out.
The first King of the Tamar saw Jason Smith and Paul Tenteye taking the crown.
It was a smoking day in more than one way with a hazy start and 30 knots conditions at times.
Two races were held with Paul Tenteye winning the first round followed by
Jason Smith, Alan Cook, James Down, Chris Flood and Paul Brandner. The second race saw Jason crossing the line first followed by, Paul T, James, Chis and Al.
There were also some good conditions at Bellboy in the afternoon with the incoming tide.
great conditions for your comp AL.
Did any of the Team Red sailors from Hobart turn Up?
Thanks for organizing the race Al and Gill...was heaps of fun...Great pics Gill as usual

I am pretty sure most of the Hobart folk are just social members of WT, which entitles them to drink beer in the Dorens rd car park but not to race slalom. 
Yeah, we dont see many team red slalom sailors on the water down here anymore, must be travelling to secret spots.
R&D, Photo shoots and Product releases you know the thing...

What size / type / cost of gear are you looking for in the WAVE department? There is a bit about that you may be able to get your hands on...

Yup between the 5 or so Bell buoy sailors we must have nearly 20 boards 
.....there has got to be something somebody is willing to sell.... 
I have an evo 68 worth about $300...looks like grandma has been sailing it....mmmmmm....might be time for a nanna nap.....
Wants the lot for $600 Pity it wasn't a couple of years ago when I was giving away my old wave boards.
Thanks for the fast answers!
Yes I am student, so at the moment I haven´t too much money to invest...
