Funny red thumbs, hahahah.

No order but I'd think top 5 will be Travis, Jamie, Beau, Kelly and connor as a roughy.
Any on their day could take it out. I'm not sure if wind or no wind will change the result either.

Definitely more money in the 14 than 12'6 and if you happen to be first overall on a 14 it is well and truely pay day. Can't see much of the money staying on this side of the country unless its put on the bar afterwards.

What about Sam Parker as a dark horse to finish top 5?

In the 20 beaches I think, so could be in with a chance.

What about Jacko? Will he contend with those guys above or is he paddling 12'6 ( assuming those guys are paddling 14 for the money)

yeah Sam is a freak for a bloke with kids and works full time only paddles a few times a week to go and beat Kai Bartlett and Danny Ching in the 20 beaches is a pretty good effort.
Not sure if he is paddling though also Dave (kissa) is bloody quick to ..But yeah not sure who is going
Good luck to all the Local boys though

If it's windy Connor is going to be pretty hard to beat.

if its windy, i think travis is going to be hard to beat, oh and jamie.

these two guys are something else when the runs are on.


i think travis might have an advantage having done the doctor a few times now

Hope its going to be windy, last year was a bit of a dud, maybe a few runners in the whole 27k where I had to step back, year before that was more fun but off shore wind so we did it from Perth to Rotto instead of Rotto to Perth.

Must be good when its good, saw an interview with Dawid Mocke the surf ski champ and he said its his favourite downwind run in the world when its on.

Mixing it up with all the elite guys is such a blast, you have to get over one time Lacey.

Going to be interesting to see who paddles what as that'll make a big difference. A few Starboard guys are paddling the ACE 14 x 25 regardless of conditions which is clearly super fast in the more marginal conditions but may get interesting in 25-30 knot classic Doctor conditions.

Will have a skinny ACE 14' there myself but am sending the big Bullet over as back up. If the wind is on then that big beastie will be plenty of fun.

When are all you east coast guys coming over? Would be good to get a few runs in with you all before the day as I imagine I will only see the back of you for the first couple of hundred metres.

Yep, don't know what I'm paddling though, whatever is left over at Auswind, or whatever I can borrow. Ended up on a K15 last year which was actually pretty good for the conditions we had. Was going to get the 14 x 25" Ace in carbon and use that then ship it over but I've whimped on that now, can't sell my glass one!
Funny to think that two years ago I came third in the 12'6 class on a Starboard Pin, that sure ain't gonna happen again with all the good super fit guys around now

Kissa would have been the guy most likely to upset the big boys in my opinion but he's pulled out due to a side strain.
Saw him in second place just behind Connor whilst fighting a broken rudder which eventually s### itself in the first leg of last years Tripple Crown. One day he'll catch a break.
