Latest results and rankings, finals are on the 18th wind permitting.
All the places are up for grabs or can change, pressure is on Richie and all those aiming at him, but same goes for second and third!

Guys, with a really crap forecast I've had to make the decision to postpone to the following weekend.

I'll make another post about next weekend as the date aproaches.

It's a shame you guys didn't make it out. We had 9 fantastic formula races this weekend.

This was our last Sydney race for this season, but perhaps we can look at some combined events next season.

Forecast looking good for sat green NE arrows and sun.
Is it on
If we're still gonna do the pizza beer thing afterwards, i've had a word with pizza shop down on grand parade and he's happy to deliver pizza up to the beach carpark for us. Who's taking care of da beer!

Racing is definitely on. I've been away on a business trip but Eve, Peace and Matt tell me everything is handled.
The brown haired person masquerading as Marine needs to bring her passport in order to enter today.

Beers are handled, pizza is easy, and AFAIK all the prizes are handled too, including a new surprise category (last place today).

Awesome day, Thanks to all the participants and all the volunteers that made this an epic race day and final for the series.
Ample Little creatures beers, awesome Pizza from Jailhouse rock Pizza at Brighton Le sands, and very good company.
1st - Rich Stenning
2nd - Jordan Girdis
3rd - Chris Argent
4th - Ric Black
5th - Marine Sudre
6th - Dave Sorensen

Can't remember the rest except for Solla? who won the wooden spoon award for this race (this award can only be explained with a photo)
I'm sure there will be many photos I'm too tired to get the ones on my camera, maybe tomorrow night, Slingy demo at Dolls to prepare for now.

Yep a big thanks to Steve and Eveline from Kitepower for standing on the beach and the other volunteers that turn up to help while we have all the fun.
I reckon with a split group next year of twin tip and race board will be even bigger and better for everyone.

Def be back next year, raced all year with the twin tip, but it just dont cut it at the pointy end anymore, so will also have a new race board

Here is a few more shots.
After the start the fleet gets spread out so not to many action shots with lots of people once you leave the beach
