I believe Dave Sprague from Core Boardsports is organising a Corio Bay DW. However the strong winds forecast would not be recommended for a first time DW.

Had the thought of doing one but been sick all week so not strong enough to cope with those conditions so I brushed it aside as a plan.
Have fun though.

Wow, that was an experience that I won't forget as I didn't know canoeing skill was in me than standing up

My 1st time dw and it was the calm before storm. The glide was fun until midway, it was nuking and those elevator backwash was next level.
Thanks to the Geelong pod for let me tag along & well done to the cats for the win today!
Cant wait for the next ride!!
