I would say the weather will tell us what way it will be run - I am still not sure if it is to Currumbin as last year they ran from Southport to Tweed river. Still waiting on more information.

It reminds me a bit of this one showing the three main types of paddling.

Ooops... I see there's four types on yours..

Just a word from the organiser to get Support boat organised early.

Race is still on but allow time to transport cars to race finish as Indy is on so you can't use Gold Coast Hwy.

John would also like people to contact him if racing - you can pay on the day for entry.

Just got off the phone to John Steward there will be only registrations on the race day at 8am for a 9.45am start .The sups will get a 20 min start on the outriggers.The call will be made Friday arvo if the race starts at Southport or Tweed.

The race is open to all Sup sizes.

Give John a call and let him know if you are racing so he can get shirts ordered , there are already 10 teams who are going to race so it's shaping up to be a great race.[/b]

Yeah sounds good. I did a small one this arvo from nobbys to burleigh just to get wet.
Thursday is looking good with 25 knots and there should be 2 to 3 foot of surf.

Hey Piros what time are you thinking of paddling thursday morn. After seeing you racing on sat morn at tweed river I wish I was doing that. We decided to paddle the canoes from the tweed to pottsville because it was supposed to be a northerly. Of course it blew southerly and the paddle took over 4 1/2 hours. I jumped into the canoe just after the pumping jetty, and had to go the rest of the way to potty.

That's 4 o'clock my time, I'll be just going to bed. I'll see what I can organise i usually take the boys to school on thursday. Haven't finished the ejackulator yet have been flat out grassing. But all I need to do is glass on legrope plug and paint it. Still trying to sort out options of paint. Was going to go with 2 pak marine paint but the cost is getting up there.

The 7 day forecast is looking great so far for the Race with a thumping S.E and good swell predicted for next Thursday.

Lets hope it holds
