TWC - Taranaki Wave Classic 2017

Sat 21 Oct 2017 - Mon 23 Oct 2017

Taranaki

1983 was the year that the Taranaki Wave Classic was born, in it’s first guise as the Sirocco Expression Session. Biggie Smithers, along with his board brand Sirocco, ran the first wave sailing contest in Taranaki. It was designed to maximise time on the water for all competitors – this format proved an instant success with 60-70 sailors participating.

AWA Slalom Series - Round Two - Event Report

You may know my brother Luke, a young windsurfer of middling ability – any talent buried under a thick blanket of hangovers, laziness and a determination to hit the startline to the nearest minute rather than the nearest second. Anyway, yesterday he bought further shame upon our family when he revealed he didn’t vote.
Didn’t vote!

Introduction to foiling (windsurfers) Q&A

Wed 16 Aug 2017

Takapuna Grammar Rowing Club

Do you have questions about foiling? How to try it? Whats the best foil to get... or when foiling is most fun? Well come down to Bayswater Marina and catch up while I go over the main changes and areas so you can best learn to foil.
I will run a Q&A session for anyone wanting to know more about foiling and whether it is as exciting and easy as everyone says. Feel free to bring your own foils so we can discuss the differences and how you can best improve or get into this exciting new dimension of windsurfing

$15 entry which will include some beers and snacks.
