Division C: 5 x 10 sec PB <28kts

There is also the ......Nearest to Pin......Competitors will be asked to guess before competition an estimate 5 x 10 sec average for over the weekend, and the competitor that is closest to this will be deemed the winner.

There will be a social event on Saturday night (23rd) which will include dinner and entertainment as well as the notification of the anonymous top 5 postings of that day???s competition. We hope to have some of our International Speed Sailors fresh from competing in Luderitz joining us.

Inverloch and Anderson inlet has all the makings of a classic windsurfing venue. The waters of Anderson Inlet can provide fantastic bump'n'jump, freeride blasting and speed sailing, depending on a variety of weather and tidal conditions. The surf beach and mouth of the inlet offers some great intermediate wave sailing opportunities as well. There are a range of accommodation packages available.

The NOR will be up on the Inverloch Windsurfing Club Site soon


If you're keen please drop an email president@inverlochwindsurf.org.au to register for the event

Early forecast looks perfect for sailing the new run up along near the entrance which now cuts into the old main channel.

Great News

No I'm not giving a wind warrantee. That's Dan's job Doug

The wind will be what ever it is (Bring large board and sail....OD,SUP )

RPS and The ZU have contributed to our prize chest, a big thanks to Adrian and Paul. Support your local shops when ever you can, even if it's just a pop in and say hi.

The VSS guys are already to do battle with us on the water of Inverloch so here's your chance to compete against the Australian recorder of the 500m and perhaps beat him . Who cares if the wind was only 8kts and the sailing was done on a SUP, its first across the line that counts

Game starts at 10.00 Inverloch Angling club

Well the usual start to an ISI.....no wind. But this did improve ....a little
With 10kt from the sth. Most got planning and had a ball. The closest to pin is very very close with most only within a few knots.
My best speed was a 24+ 10 sec. Not bad for 10kts of wind. Slightly more wind tomorrow but from the east so it might increase. People can still enter the comp tomorrow if they wish

Cheers Kato for an awesome time both on and off the water. The pics and videos from Luderitz was amazing. Thanks Daffy for the loan of the mast on Sunday.
