Down in the deep south, south of the city, lies the St.G.S.C Windsurfing and Racing Elite.

A group of fearless, hardcore race enthusiasts drawn from St. George and Sutherland Shires, calling Botany Bay their own, and 'riding it like they stole it.'

'Living to race and racing to live'.

Living life in the fast lane of Speed Alley, Carter's Island, the Bermuda Triangle, and Towra Point Break.

Location: St. George Sailing Club, (02) 95294911

Where: 2 Riverside Drive, Sans Souci.

When: 2 pm Saturdays - starts September

How: Longboard, Raceboard, Formula, Hybrid,
anything you can get your hands on

What for: bbq's, drinks, tall tales of talk, and racing.

If you'd like to join these 'colourful racing identities', membership is finally open to a select few.

New members and beginners are welcome. Contrary to popular opinion, you don't have to be a pro to join in the fun.

Great to hear St George had a good turn out of Raceboard and Windsurfers. I hope you can all make it to Gosford Sailing Club on the 29th and 30th Sep (next weekend) for Heat 1 of the Summer Raceboard Series & the first Windsurfer regatta since the launch of the Windsurfer LT. Ask sailors welcome from beginner to advanced.

Hey everyone,
Just an update on the October Long weekend (29th and 30th September) racing schedule at Gosford Sailing Club.

Raceboards are having the first round of their summer series - both days. Go to the raceboards australia or windsurfing NSW website for Notification of Race and registration / payment details.

Windsurfer Originals, One Designs and LT's are invited to the Inaugural Tri Series Event as part of the Windsurfer Class Evolution Summer Series for NSW.

There's also an informal bbq dinner organized ($20pp) after racing on Saturday evening.

No racing tomorrow at St George, Raceboards are away for the Heat 1 NSW series at Gosford. Perfect conditions for attacking the speed strip on your short board though.

Hi Paul, my hubby and I are interested in taking up windsurfing at St George. We are completely new to the sport. I have sailed and hubby has surfed, so we would like to give windsurfing a go. Can we come to the club and meet yourself and discuss getting started?

I don't think I will beat you all first go, I won't be there every saturday because I do a lot of catamaran sailing and training, that takes priority over windsurfing.

Do you know or have you spoken to Michael Watkins, a qualified windsurfing instructor at the Kurnell Cat Club ? The club ran a windsurfing regatta this year (Feb 18th) for Bics & Raceboards. In 2019 (Feb 17th) it will happen again. I believe Michael has access to Bic / Techno equipment at the club to promote learning & racing.
I've sailed that journey many, many times, but you must be sure that the winds + tides are all good to start with. It's 6.4km in just straight lines between the two clubs. It's about 10km if you are tacking or gybing between the two.
Cheers,

Hey, I used to sail Lasers out of your club in the 1990's. Pretty good crew of people and some awesome sailors.

Looks like you don't have a 16ft Skiff fleet anymore? A shame, those boats were madness on the water.

So just getting back into windsurfing, will try and come down on a race day and introduce myself, check out what you guys are getting around on.

Sydney's premier and elite Southside windsurfing club,
'St George Sailing Club Windsurfing',
is recruiting new members.....
and your invitation is valid from late September onwards....

Formula, Foil, Race board, Hybrid, Windsurfer, and all longboards are welcome.
You don't have to be an expert to join in the fun.

Handicaps, Mentoring, Bbq's, Drinks, racy exploits racing and tall stories galore,
are available to all the new school crew.

Byo windsurfing gear, Saturday's from 2pm onwards.

The old school crew are refusing to retire, and just getting started,
Fast and furious, running the gauntlet, loading up, getting bullets,
and pulling the triggers, to get their fix .....'

'Fixing it big',
at Carters island, Speed Alley, Bermuda Triangle, and the Towra Point Break.....

The old club house is condemned and scheduled to be demolished,
nothing to do with the, so called
'characters, and the colourful racing identities,'
that frequent the summer racing season there.

So we're all sailing from Sanoni ave, G.R.S.C., Dolls Point, presently.

New school club house is coming soon

like us on Facebook, phone or email us

all welcome,

see you there, this summer.

Awesome, I'm away for work until Christmas but when I'm back I'll be keen to get stuck into it.

Do you mean the 16ft club or is there another one I haven't found yet?

I've seen a few other blokes learning in the area too so will mention it to them as well.
