Too late, didn't bring the big board, wind died after the first run......!

But on to more important things...it was with a heavy heart that today I heard of the passing of one of our stalwart team members, Graceman..... Tony Grace fought a gallant battle against his disease and was an inspiration to us all with his happy face and boundless  enthusiasm for the sport and for life. I could use some of those cliches... like "one of nature's gentlemen"....but basically Tony was simply a really, really nice guy who didn't have a bad word for anybody and lived life to the fullest. My sincere condolences go out to his family.

Perth Southsiders and the windsurfing community in general will miss you mate...your whole life was a PB...so long....rest easy

Gracie, you & your smiling face will be so missed. Life is often so cruel.Cry

You  always managed to find the positive out of every day’s sailing,  while the rest of the team moaned about the terrible wind on a bad day, you would tell us about the one great gust you hooked out the back.Smile

Your struggle is over now,  rest in peace Tony.  Forever in our hearts & minds.

Graceman by name & gracious by nature.
