Maybe I should trade up for your other half Stimo... she's probably less broken than you are... haha! Just kidding... happy to have you on that 16' for the long leg.

Hey Stimmo, great afternoon and Lisa really enjoyed the paddle, meeting the other girls as well and put any fears to rest that she might not make the distance next week!!! Looking forward to race

The course can be reversed depending on the conditions. We'll keep an eye on it toward the end of the week.

Wow 5 husband and wife teams thats gotta be a division in it's own right. Sadly Stimo refuses to race with his wife which would of boosted the division even more.

We have to do a wave start like the Avon to keep the group together. The Avon had 2minutes between waves of 12'6 and then 14'/unlimited. You caught the 12'6 leaders at halfway Stimo!
We will have 3minutes between waves for the BTB - not a handicapped start, just logistical to keep the authorities happy. The handicapping is in the final formula. The 10' boards could have an advantage!

Ok, just trying to understand this - even though we'll start 6 minutes behind (thanks to my partners super long board) our overall time will actually be 6 minutes less than actual clock time on the finish line and this is the time will be used with the formula as a handicap for board sizes?


For example - clock at finish lines reads 1:36 - we started 6 minutes behind so it's 1:36-0:06 = 1:30 (overall time) therefore 90 minutes x (16' + 12'6)/100 = 25.65 as the final score?

you can tell whose the engineer and the plumber way to many numbers , rest those shoulders Jac not to hard at crossfit saturday now

just have had confirmation that the states best 14 foot paddler will be racing sunday
good to here think Mr DC is going to have his work cut out , and the rest of us as well .
