Any Wavesailors in Tasmania who can help with Red Bull Storm Chase this year please let me know. I have 3 Wavesailors from Launie - Felix, Mitch, Lachlan - we need another 5 people. I would prefer people with Wavesailing experience if possible. Your Time must be flexible during the waiting period. Check out - www.redbull.com/int-en/events/red-bull-storm-chase

Please contact me on - 0413 271 762
email - jp@johnpott.com.au
Skype - johnpott

I am in Bali until the 8th July so email is probably best until then.

These are the places that need to be filled.



Safety department
2x support for Jetski Crew (launching jetskis, make sure we always have enough fuel available, assisting jetski operators at all times etc.)
2x spotter (constantly spotting athletes? positions on the water with binoculars, communicating with Safety Crew etc.)
1x safety set-up (equip athletes with safety tools before heats etc)

Event set-up department
2x setting up all event equipment on-site (set-up event tent, dig in masts with windsocks, set-up wind shelters etc. ? lots of digging etc involved! Here we need guys who are good in reacting on local and difficult conditions, finding solutions, don?t mind getting dirty ;-) )

Media department
4x assistants for camera crew (assist camera guys, collect SD cards, deliver SD cards to editor, provide shelter etc.)

Sports department
1x ?beach marshal? (signaling heat starts/ends, communicate with judges, control who?s going into the water etc.)


Thanks

I'ld like to be on the binoculars spotting but I can't commit to certain days either, I never know how my work is panning from day to day, and hate to say it but my business comes first.

if the weather turns out like magic seaweed is predicting it will be too wild at marrawah for the euros to get off the beach, forget redbull, your beer gut will give you wings in a 50 kn wnw

Hey there, any Hobart folks looking to head up this weekend? Thinking of it but not 100% at the moment. I'd need to be back by 8am Monday. Could probably leave by 4pm ish on Friday.

If I head up will stay at Stanley with a crew from L'ton.

Anyway, putting this up to see what others are up to.

Cheers
Phil

One of what I consider a very "conservative" forecast site is saying the magic 50 knots mid day Sunday
