This event is about the joy of downwinding. It's not a race, it's just about getting there and enjoying the ride. All new paddlers will be paired with an experienced paddler to undertake the 7km course to Swanbourne. The more experienced paddlers will then continue onto Scarborough (14km in total). It's all about sharing the Stoke, passing on knowledge and smiles.
The Inaugural Fig2Fig SUP Downwinder Race is on in December. WA is known for its Freo Doctor and the best way to enjoy this is on a SUP. Enjoy surfing the waves as the Doctor directs you to the Naked Fig in Swanbourne or the Wild Fig in Scarborough. On Sunday afternoon the 1st of December to celebrate the opening of the WA Downwind season!

Forecast is looking great for Sundays event. This is the perfect opportunity to get on water advise for those who want to learn how to do a downwinder.
SUPWA will have PFD 1 inflateables for sale at registration on Sunday ($90), everyone is required to wear a PFD 1, 2 or 3, we will also have some orange smoke flares for sale as well, will confirm the cost of the flares. Lookin good for a fun downwinder at this stage.
If you need a bumbag PFD 1 ( 'Ultra' brand) and/or an orange smoke flare for Sunday, please let me by tomorrow (27th) so that I can have enough stock on hand to keep everyone happy

Hey Chookster one bum bag and one flare for me too please. Its a good thing none of us get our words mixed up because using the words bum and flare in one sentence could be misconstrued as some kind of Jackass episode re-enactment.

Don't think we need a flare only 400 m of shore can some one confirm thanks
You need a flare on the river

Not sure got stuff on. Might mtb no gws in the forest or paddle without pdf
Hi Stimmo, just had an update from DOT and SUPWA highly recommends a flare however it is not compulsory, handy to have your gear ready for The RedInk King of the Cut next week though..
No worries Fergus and Suprad, will have 'em at rego for you. Hey Fergus, could be a good place to stick it for the run to Swanny !! ( in the bumbag that is )
.. Very nice of you to say that and offer.. I'll get over there one day..
