I haven't seen the News so and if there is a problem I will hear about it. Anyway I read the Article and sounds like someone read the website - its all good - there is no misrepresentation - its all promotion - well done who ever helped write it actually! :)

There was nothing wrong with the news. Was actually pretty good promotion. red Bull wasn't really mentioned in the whole piece. More just about the crazy conditions that some of the best windsurfers in the world may or will (cross fingers) experience. Now with all the hype I hope it goes ahead!!!

I recon Joels got it worked out. Wait till Phils going on holiday somewhere then change your profile name to Phil and start bagging out the locals, this ends in Phil getting bashed and Joel winning the best mate of the year award. Sounds like he learnt some of Hanson 'The Instigators' tricks.

Ohhh don't you start!!! 60knots you better tighten the reigns on your pony!!!

I think Buzzy should get a wild card entry. Someone local needs to stand up and " represent "

Actually there is something wrong with going on the news and representing yourself as part of the organisation or affiliated with Red Bull without permission. I did the radio interview with Red Bulls permission because I am currently working for them.

That is just silly! Potts(Ian or John) are the mad bugga's with the sailing experience, the moves and the guts to go big, and they still hold Tasmanian Visa's. I can sail 20 knots with head high waves and land a flat water forward. I think I might look a bit silly out there.

And yes Buzzy ..... I am going make sure you get a wild card!! But seriously - there will be a local segment in the DVD - and I can tell you now it won't be focused on anything but Tasmania Windsurfers. So please come along.

Last time I went wavesailing I didnt land a jump and crashed every wave. One swim for my gear and I was exhausted. Maybe the Tassie segment could just be us getting drunk in the carpark.

I'll be there John, but cant get time off work so hopefully it all goes down on a weekend.

Houston has improved on his trademark move. Now he gets right up on the lip before initiating his move.

Mate - I swear if your not there - I will come down there and kidnap you. Everyone gets sick! When its on I only need two days from you. Even if it does't go on the DVD - you know what goes on behind the scenes will find its way onto the web... ! ;)

Excellent - seems like there is enough wind down there. If you or anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I need to get hold of 20 Walkie Talkies to rent for 6 days (basically a week). 2 x 1kw generators to be used with computer equipment. There is a generator by Honda called EU 10 which is ideal. If anyone knows someone with a jet ski - let me know. I had one lined up but it has been lost.

Pottssy I've been trying to find walkie talkies, not having much luck, how do we get hold of 1 let alone 20?

I think Kaleb would need to be the local team coach as well a key tassie sailor. Reminding us all how to wave sail again. He is the best wave sailor I have ever seen he has to have our backs.

Go Kaleb

Just buy them, and then hire them to Red Bull for $20 / Day, you'll make a profit plus own the radios at the end of it all!!!!

Do the same with the genny!

EDIT: No-one uses the term "walkie-talkies" these days (except my mum's bushwalking group), "handheld UHF radios" is what you're after.

It must be going to happen - I busted my finger yesterday - when ever I injure myself the conditions come good. Its like some sort of sacrifice bull** deal I have with Huey!!!! To be honest though - I am not to confident with that setup - maybe the 24th instead.
