Last year the select few were notified via email pretty much straight away. Best experience ever...

Don't understand what all the fuss is about, its a ****ty ride through washing machine currents, its a jolly-up not a race, perhaps waksa should think about turning it in to something worthwhile for charity imo

Anyone received a confirmation email?

For those of us that haven't.................Bugger

any chance of a list of successful entrants waksa?

I think RACE day there will be a fair bit of interesting kit on show.

Yep I reckon you are right, you should have seen the photo a mate sent me today of his custom board, it looked wicked, pretty much exactly what I would like to be on.
I think he was just trying to tease me because he knows I missed out.

I know he visits the breeze from time to time so perhaps he might post a photo, if not I might just post it anyway.

I can just see this event getting bigger and bigger, I am getting excited and I am not even in it this year.
Next year I will have a custom ocean racing board and will have my fingers crossed for an entry.

So Official Emails have been Sent Already....Just need to know when we will find out as havent booked flights...

^ Yeah that would have been a good idea, I like beer.

Anybody got the skinny on what kind of PFD is acceptable for the race?

Also anyone got a spare suitable PFD lying around I can use?

Funky you can borrow mine.

Dear all

All participants will be notified by COB Monday 31st October as to whether or not they have been successful in getting a place in L2L 2011.

Appreciate your enthusiasm and patience.

WAKSA.

I heard tell there were only about 180 names in the hat?
WTF. Who wouldnt

Maybe it was the shark issue ??? Whatever - thanks to all those who didnt enter.

Just received the rejection email "NO CIGAR" "please come along on race day and show your support"

All the best to those that got a spot. GOOD WINDS & SPEED I HOPE THE EVENT GOES OFF

Look out for this in ur inbox

Ric,

Congratulations! You have a confirmed position in the 2011 Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton on Saturday 3rd December 2011.

Only saw the inaugural race on Video but looked fantastic.

2 cents... Here is a thought...
Now the pedigree is established and most of the kinks ironed out -
With that much interest, I would try to aim for two heats -

The first for the serious competitor, and the second for the more social competitor and those just wrapped to give it a go.

Or by a draw as now - except you would still get to have a go in the second heat.

If I had entered I would be happy to just have a go as opposed to missing out.

anyway looking forward to the video.. hope at least as successful as last year...
Cheers
AP

Congrats to all who got in. Recon the race could take all comers but selection makes it special. For all those who do it.........you'll be tired after.........dats for sure.

Was there a particular brand that is less obtrusive or better suited to our sport?
