Looking for 2 towers for the event this year.

Both are to and from Safety bay

Option 1 (preferably for the stronger ox and more experienced tower. Will need to help launching boat at the boat ramp/beach at start and end of day, so a 4wd is preferable) : small 4.5m boat

Option 2 (this is lighter and you can be a weak as piss tower but still have some skill and look over your shoulder a few times): jetski

PM me if you want to earn a carton of beer of your choice and just be an all round legend!

Just a heads up.

As an addition to a super fun weekend of windsurfing and hopefully lots of racing, the Isaac has been working hard on.

I will bring a stack of Slingshot demo Wind Foil boards / foils up to Cervantes.

If you haven't tried it before, then it is a chance to give it a go. :)

I know the super windy conditions is not really the go as a beginner, but hopefully early on the days can work out, before the stronger breeze is in.

Anyway it will be available all day.
There is also some different wing sizes to test, for any current riders having the Slingshot set up.
Infinity 65, 76, 99

Alex Ing ( the brand manager for Slingshot on the East coast), will come over for most of January and is super keen to come straight up and see what we are doing. Both on the windsurfing and Windfoiling side of things.
Please grab him to ask some questions as he would know most things inside the foiling world. If he is not on the beach , then he is most likely out on the water, :)

Cheers
Jesper

20 minute horns at the finish line to get your ass upwind! Then the following procedure commences 13 minutes afterwards.

IE you will be crossing the start line 20 mins after the horns are blown. Dont be late

Totally agree. Awesome event as always! Thanks to Isaac, vollys and sponsors.
If anyone lost a Severne t-shirt in the campground send me a PM and I'll get it back to you. It was found closest to Jesper's van but he's denying all knowledge??.
