Freaks and Fair People,
I cordially invite you all to partake in the progression of wavesailing
at Smackfest 2004!
After the success of the inaugural event last year, I am excited to
announce that Events Tasmania have signed on as an Official Partner,
providing substantial backing for the growth of this great event.
$2,500AUD prize money confirmed so far!
Details:
Dates: 13th - 20th November 2004
Location: Marrawah, on the northwest coast of Tasmania- Australia.
Format: Smackfest Wavesailing Criteria
Entry Details:
$65AUD Pre-Register
$80AUD After October 31st or on the day.
How it all works...
The first day of competition will be an Expression session where the
judges will nominate 32 men and 8 women based on radical performance
for the day. These nominated sailors will then compete head to head
within their respective divisions via the Smackfest Wavesailing criteria.
Every heat you win, you receive a $50 skin, with a $50 dollar loading
for the champ in each division. PLUS a $500 wad for the biggest manoeuvre
of the competition. Instead of lumping our judges with the responsibility
of this decision, we are letting the world decide. The contenders caught
on video will be loaded onto the Tideguide.org server for a Webcompetition!
(Go to www.tideguide.org to see one of these).
1st, 2nd and 3rd in each division will also receive a beautiful trophy,
crafted by local glass artist, Graeme Mace. There will also be many
spot prizes.
Soulsmack in partnership with Tideguide.org and Pixelworks will be
producing a 25 minute programme to be aired on the Foxtel network. We
will also be producing a sick DVD for the windsurfing viewers. Justin
Maxwell, a specialist extreme sports photographer from Sydney will be
shooting stills to ensure a comprehensive print media coverage.
If this all sounds a bit serious to you, don't worry because Smackfest
is
as much about fun off the water as it is about the SMACK! On the opening
and closing nights we will have bands and big parties, (especially the
closing night, there was a sort of precedent set last year). Mid week
there will be a fiercely contested ping pong tournament (A local tradition).
The surfing and diving can be really good if there is no wind, not to
mention the four-wheel drive and trail bike opportunities in the area.
Just imagine a cold beer, the smell of a barbecue cooking as
you watch the sun setting in the great southern ocean after one of the
best sails of your life. This is your destination - at Smackfest!!
MORE DETAILS TO BE ANNOUNCED VERY SOON!!!
Be sure to book your travel early.
