I'd volunteer for that but I don't like authority much....maybe Drinking Liaison or "buddy" is more my speedskywalker wrote: Drinking ..Captain, Toilet paper ...Artist
Obvious suggestion- I think you may wanna check with Parks and the D. Band before making big plans At least someone's got the dates right this time
Wish less, sail more!!

hey nanmoo we have judges etc from the bc sailing association for racing, but not fr freestyle
this is a litmus test to see if the local community would be interested in helping out. if enough people raise their hand then i will work on all the other details
i want to give canadian kite board association enough time to find an alternate venue if the local crew aren't up for it.

IFCA is offering a freestyle judging certification coming up in April, maybe BC Sailing should pay for a few of us to go ;)

Hi Winddude
I would suggest that you join BC Sailing, attend a few meetings and become a member of a BC sailing registered club. Squamish wind sports is registered and is fairly cheap. That will give you some clout at the table.
Water rescue may be sorted. And possibly a couple landers.
Still need a few more bodies though.

Still need a few more volunteers before I can be confident that it's doable. Once I get like two or three more people I will notify the people at squamish that it's a go and start talking to the band and parks Canada.
Friday is the cut off. So if you're on the fence hop off and raise your hand!

Hey folks
Looks like this is a go. The folks at Squamish are pumped. Looks like safety is sorted. Still need a bunch of volunteers, but mark your calendars- windfest is on!
Will start collaborating with parks and rec and the D band now. Any advice would be appreciated.
