Bay of Plenty Windsurfers

Tauranga Windsurfers need your support - Kulim Park under threat.

One of the key roles of Windsurfing NZ is to advocate for our windsurfers on various issues, it can get a bit lonely at times so having national scrutiny and support is important. Read the concerns they have about the proposed changes, then let the council know that it matters, that the outside is watching.

2016 Tauranga Spring Windsurf Weekend
If you haven’t registered yet then all you need to so is email peter@elementswatersports.co.nz and let me know.
Entries are limited so if you are keen then just let me know.
You can all check the forecast and know how much to trust them a week out. Mine is showing good winds on fri and sat with fluff on the Sunday. On the plus side the N-NE-E direction will mean racing from Kulim Park. Long reaches in mostly waist to shoulder deep water. Gear can be left rigged overnight in our boat shed.

2014 Elements Spring Racing - a windsurfing success

Those that attended this season starter were not disappointed - once again it delivered conditions that we are assured are not typical, with winds varying from one extreme to the other to provide opportunities for all 'wind persuasions' to excel at some stage or other. It was great to see an increased number of young sailors. Big thanks to the sponsors and those that made the event possible. The Auckland and Wellington events have a high bar to aspire to now. An excellent write up of the event is available on the BOP Windsurfers site. More...

North Island Slalom Cup

This season there will be a North Island Cup (slalom) awarded to the best result from 3 events:
- Tauranga Spring Windsurf Fun Slalom 20/21 September
- Wellington Slalom Plus 29/30 November
- Auckland Slalom Series (1 selected round)
Results will be based on the individuals best results from 2 of the 3 events (i.e. Auckland/Tauranga or Tauranga/Wellington) - this should mean you are in with a chance if you only enter 2 of the 3 events
