Being serious now. With Merimbula's big 40 anniversary this year ,and a big turnout expected ,like the 30th which had over 300 paid contestants ,what's expected this year ? Victoria border will be shutdown till at least christmas...Sydney is spiking hotspots and Sydney people aren't welcome to coastal towns , Queenslanders might not risk it... Not painting a picture of gloom and doom...What do you think? How many are left to turn up ?

It's 4 months away. You have no more of a clue than anyone else on how long the Vic border will be closed. International border, for sure, but state borders? There's a good chance that this latest outbreak will be knocked on the head with another lockdown imposed on the hotspots and within 4-6 weeks restrictions can start to ease - just as they were last time around. That much you can at least say with the benefit of hindsight.

Sorry but if that isn't painting a picture of doom & gloom then I dunno what is! Just wait n see bro..

Full of old farts so exposure would likely wipe out the older generation of pole dancers

What I really miss about Mambo is the night entertainment of those local live garage bands at the pub , then in later years the Sapphire room. It was definitely their first and frekin last gigs for obvious reasons .Ive been to a thousand live gigs and they are up there with the ????? When a band sings Running Bare at the Sapphire room you know you have made it and are playing to the right demographic audience of Mambo participants ..

They're all on wind wings now so deemed too high risk

Hoping its on this year . Are wingdingers allowed to participate ? If so , is there a wingding national body that they join for insurance reasons , same as kiters who have to be members of K.A. before they pay entry competition fee at Mambo ?? If not , they cannot compete as wingdingers, yes , no ??

Wingdinging is under KBA if you look on there web site I assume they will be aloud at Merimbula Classic But hopefully they will only be aloud in Wind surfing area otherwise it's not going to be pretty It's going to be crazy Windsurfing/ kite surfing / foil kitesurfing / prone foiling / Sup foiling / wing dinging / Sup boarding Lol

What i like about Mambo is it the best organized and only windsports comp in Oz....They place an orange flag on sand just north of viewing platform/deck and windsurfing area is north of this and kiting south of flag...All new windsports can go north of flag to keep windsurfing relevant ,inclusive and modern day like wingdinging.....10 years ago Corona beer was major sponsor of the event for 1 year only....it used Mambo as a stepping stone of sponsorship coz it sponsors world pro surfing tour now....you could buy a corona bottle of beer for $3 at corona tent during contest , then at pub that nite there were corona beer banners everywhere in sync with contest and pub prob got pallets for below cost , but charged us all $8 standard price ,what the flip ???
