While we are aware people are still planning to sail the course, please be aware you do so at your own risk and NO safety cover is being provided. Any "unofficial" race cannot be endorsed by Windsurfing Western Australia.
That said, seek on Facebook and you will find the group who are planning a downwinder.
As per FB post
"Holy Moly ??. This is going gang busters. Please take note : What began as a couple of hard headed Lano windsurfers & kiters arguing over who's fastest has turned into a mass sign up ????? . We will be doing a kite & sail; fast-as-possible run from Ledge to Lano on Jan 11th as the meet up day for anyone interested in joining in fun social water days in the Ledge Lano Wedge zone. Of course all kiters & windsurfers are free to join in. BUT remember this is not a sporting 'event'. There will be no organisation ie: No rescue services; no start or finish line officials; no official winners, losers or disqualifieds; no insurance (unless you are KWA or KA members ie your own personal cover); no sweep boats, kiters or sailors looking out for you. As a group of regular ocean addicts who love this zone & plan to coordinate regular meet-ups to arrange social days & group water sessions this is our planned meet-up day to get to know each other. BYO picnic lunch (bbq's may be banned) is planned for around midday at the Ledge Pt launch beach. For those keen & capable the downwinder should start p 2:00pm. And yes - there is an awesome party opportunity (also for those keen & capable) at the Lano Tavern. Fireworks, live music and top rate meals & drinks long into the night. All pay-as-you-go. It just happens to be on our planned meet & greet day ????? Join us if you like. It's your weekend to kite wherever & whenever you like. All responsibility is on you. The authorities have ensured we will have free & open access due to the cancellation of some other little gathering. "F**K Authority" is the theme song of the day. Life is to be lived not strangled ??."
Refunds are in! Hope everyone got theirs. Unofficial downwinder probably Sunday now, search Facebook 'Ledge to Lano downwinders'. Tavern event, fireworks all on. Discount drinks for those who sail down? Cool
