If you've not registered, you'll need to get onto it .. only a few days left (must register by this sunday night, 23th October)

It's free to register, but if your name gets pulled out of the hat, then you'll front up the $150. You'll also need a PFD.

Watch this gread video of last years event:

Got my name in the hat :) fingers crossed for a start....

Question to last years runners, are you mostly cutting upwind on your way over? Or running on the downwind angle?

Just as a matter of interest what shape/size/length board do you guys find works well for the open ocean?

We are looking at doing some serious offshore downwinders over here and dont want to find out the hard way.

62 places were available for the general public after the sponsors, last years top 10, girlies, etc were taken out, and about 162 entries I think. 53% chance of getting in.

Draw was legitimate, out of a Gath helmet for all to see....

Congrats to all who got in....

I am sure most of the waksa crew have day jobs, so we just need to wait till they find some time to put the list together and officially release it to the gerneral public

I forgot to add that although I think the names I mentioned are right I have been wrong before and it might be wise not to get too excited until the official lists are out.
