Sweeping changes to the NSWWA - New President - New Direction - New Blood

The NSW Wavesailing Association wrapped up the season with its Team Event with some solid conditions down at Windang. Not only providing sailors with an opportunity to tackle the big wind and waves the annual GM was held where a new president and new format for the future of the Association was unveiled.

George Westra takes on the title and responsibility of the NSW Wave Sailing Association President and his first motion was to instigate some sweeping changes:

I have had a concept for some years now to encourage a few things from our events. I brought it to the table at the AGM and it was unanimously voted in.
Aim.
1. Increase participation
2. Help everyone develop and improve there skills
3. Increase the fun and social aspect
4. Have a more competitive NSW State Titles event

Overview of new format.
4 x Stand alone Expression session style events, following the Taranaki Wave Event format. That is, sail all day at your leisure. There will be a vote on the top 10 who sail a super session at the end of the day to determine placings. The aim of these events is fun/social/improve. To celebrate the spirit of Wavesailing.

1 x NSW Wavesailing State titles. A 4 day event Thursday - Sunday with Man on Man format. Following the PWA guidelines.

I have been chosen to be President and will work hard to make it the most enjoyable year in NSW Wavesailing history! The finer details of the new format will be available in due course on the NSW website and links will be posted on seabreeze.

Its going to be huge and the excitement and enthusiasm has already started

George Westra NSWWA President.
