Pittwater Blast "launch" race & BBQ - Sat 12th Mar

If any Sydney guys and gals are keen to race these guys put on a good show and would love to have more SUP's involved. Details below as sent to me by Dez.

10km may seem long if you haven't done many races before so Dez suggested they could easily put on a short course 5km version if enough people are interested and don't stress about the RSVP as there should be plenty of food regardless.

Also if you're keen to try some race kit on the day just let me know and I'll stock the van with what I can.

Sam.

Thanks Sam. I'll be there. I can also bring an extra race board if someone would like to try it out. 10KM - ouch - that could hurt - especially with Pete Morgan delivering the hurt on the Jav. cheers Dave

Hi Guys Just curious. How long would a 10km paddle take? Time taken from experts down to old blokes. I went for a leisurely 10km paddle a couple of months ago and it took over 3 or 4 hours I think, not exactly sure tho. That was just cruising along but going against the breeze for the first half. I remeber it was a long paddle. Just wondering as I don't want to come in an hour behind the last paddler if I enter. cheers

see you guys there
