See you on Thursday cam. Was the surf good the other morning.

I'll give you guys all semester to train, then we will see how u go in June

Day one of the time trials complete. Wind condition is 10 knots SE (according to seabreeze) which provides no real assistance and a slight cross wind. Good turn out for day one and thanks to the lovely wife for doing the timekeeping (and know cooking while I type this).

Well done Lincoln as we tried to keep your pace in the first 2km. Let's hope we remember by next week that this can not be done but at our age we may forget.

See you all next Thursday for same time and place. Also do not forget training session at M'dore at 6:30am on Saturday with Peter Dorries, Beau Obrien and Paul Jackson

Thanks Swanie for organising and Jo for timing us. Hope it'll build like last year.

Swanie was second all the way around but faded a little just with five minutes to go. He did all the hard work pulling Alan and I around, what a mate!!!

Swanie must have drafted Alan all the way round????
Unreal times for first hit out ,,Fantastic effort

He over took me with about 400 to go. Smart racer.

That is a strange looking Starboard that Lincoln is on. Is it a new design

12'6" Ace Pro. Looks fast just sitting still.

It is, but then again it was powered by a impressive engine.

Hey Swanie, just a thought. What about a national Seabreeze time trial organised by SUP clubs? For the sake of discussion, lets say flatwater, one way only, without wind or tidal assistance timed over 500m, 1km &/or 2km courses. One paddler must wear a gps to authenticate distances. Certainly would be great for us southerners during the winter months & would give all racers nationally an opportunity to see where they sit in the big picture! If interested, count the SA SUP Crew in!

We would be keen for that. The lake here is an Olympic style rowing lake so is perfect for us as it has the measurement cans on it. Finding a day without wind may be an issue but possible in Winter. Get someone to organise it and I will look after this end on the Sunshine Coast and post times.

Similar situation here at West Lakes & Glenelg ..... I'll see what I can come up with!
