Does anybody know if tomorrow is still on? I heard there is a triatholon on in the area and it will be difficult to get access.

From what I can find on this internet thing, the triathalon is next weekend the
13/12/2009 so this should not create a problem tomorrow.

I can't make it but goodluck to everyone that heads down there!

How'd it go? DJ? Photo's?

Thanks DJ as usual for your effort as Official Photog!

Well, as you're all aware, the weather conditions on the day were near perfect.
Very light wind with just a small amount of bump to provide challenging conditions and a beautiful blue sky.

Around 20 competitors competed with jnrs and ladies also represented.
The course was rectangular [ parallelogram to be exact!] and around 600m in length.

The start of the race saw the field stay pretty tightly bunched, but with the duration being 40 mins, it didn't take long for the field to spread out. That's when Matt Lumley took control and took a clear lead, but Mark and Mick Calder definitely stayed in touch with him until the last 10 mins.

Further back through the field there were plenty of minor battles going on.
Rea was taking on the guys!! Jonathon was belting a few blokes on longer hulls, DJ was making his way steadily through the field after having stopped paddling to take photo's! Taylor was chasing his Dad and Damien was just happy to be there using his new board!
