There will be another paddle out Wednesday morning 5.30am from Captain Burke, Kangaroo Point. ( Under the Storey Bridge). It will be a quick hour paddle through the city and past Kangaroo Point Cliffs. Hopefully we can make this a regular event.

All levels welcome. For more information email or text Kyle 0411469085.

You guys should really consider daylight savings - 5:30am is way early

Sure always up for a paddle on Saturday morning. Early the better, before it gets too hot or the city cats get crazy.

Trouble is they are low wash cats. I have better luck with the smaller mono hull ferries doing the cross river routes. Before the floods, the floating river walkway at New Farm used to channel alot of the wash and a small wave would form there. Alas that Jennie gone, but it doesn't stop me from trying to catch any small swell I can get.

You got spare boards up there? I'm staring down the barrel of some "Brisbane Prison Time" (having to work in someone else's office - as my normal office has flexy hours, and my normal boss lets me surf and paddle and OC whenever I damn well please! - oh, my normal boss is me ! )

I see there is an Outrigger Club up there.

I'm pretty sure they will allow you to enter some of their races....

Thanks for posting simondo, Just brought back a heap of memories looking at the website, having been part of the original crew (1990) that paddled briso and was in the crew from the onset.

Funny now they have rules that say you cant swear in the BoaT, we would not have lasted to long.
