Tasmania

Windsurfing Tasmania Inc. (WT) organises events and functions for windsurfers in Tasmania. WT has recently aligned itself with the Leven Yacht Club in the north and the Sandy Bay Sailing Club in the south to encourage new and current windsurfers to participate in organised racing events. WT has around 40 members and a mailing list of over 100.

WT also holds a series of exciting windsurfing events at different locations around the state each year. Points from this series provide an overall state champion and a Formula Windsurfing and Slalom champion. Wavesailors also get together to compete each year at Marrawah for the state titles. Marrawah, situated on the NW coast of Tassie, is a world class wavesailing location.
