A quick question. Do I need to wear/carry a life jacket/flares/ PLB for the race?

Looking forward to it!! Should be a good NSW crew there.

Hey Kieranr, be great to see you & the NSW Crew, what's your ride?

I may have a spare Coastrunner if you want to use it Kieran. Seems to be your backup board over here on the west coast for you.

Coast runners still one of the best ocean boards going around.. Don't ever see them for sale

Hot off the press!!!!!! The official poster

Your legs go ha ha mine anyway As you get closer to the finish it starts to get a bit washy from the shore line but still heaps of runs ,early in the run its over more reef and rock shore so the runs are more pure .

Hey Stimo, how long did the extended course take you, and are there any good targets on the horizon to aim for ??

It's a bit unfair asking the other guys how long it took, they were kind enough to stop and regroup a couple of times for some bloke that was having a bit of a shocker and took about 2 1/2 hours

His excuse was that it was his first paddle on his 14 since the nationals and has spent most of the time on a surf sup over the last couple of months.

We pretty much just headed North of the tower we used to aim for when finishing at Singleton, then looked for the orange roof of the Secret Harbour SLSC.
I would suggest anyone doing the run to take a walk up to the lookout at SHSLSC and check out the surroundings.

There is not much in the way of buildings between SHSLSC and Long Point at Port Kennedy so you can pretty much aim for where the Northern end of the houses meets the dune vegetation.

Others may have spotted something else, as I was really just following them.

Awesome. Pea is a gun paddler!! :)

Stoked for this now!!! Flights - check, accommodation - check, Board - check(due to incredible generosity of WA sup crew jenkz).
Yeeeeeewwwwwwww!!!
regarding the PFD and flare, do we need to pre book them or will there be plenty on the day?

Anyone have the link to where we can enter online?

Looking forward to it :)

X angie
