Hi Guys

Our 2nd Time Trial on the 5th of May will meet at 0630 Zephrs North carpark to paddle up to Point Walter Spit. For those meeting at the spit we should start at 0715.

Board sharper and long time paddler Dale Chapman will come down to share some paddling tips and race with us. An informal Coaching clinic will start at 0800 and Dale will have one of his new DW boards to try out.

All fun, all free, all welcome. We have a coffee after the 5km TT at Zephrs.

Bugger, I was going to come down on my ski. Its the only was that I can keep up with everyone. I still might come down on the ski with the gopro and paddle around everyone getting some video.

Good to see more industry guys recognising WA. We may be 6 months - 1yr behind the guys on the east coast but when we get our act together I think we will be a force to be reckoned with and I don't think that will be too far off.

bugger, I am away that weekend.

It would have been great to catch up with Dale as he was awesome to deal with when I ordered my 14 DC off him last year. Oh well next time.

cheers

I'll be there - bit shy on paddle fitness - but the 14 DC hasn't seen the sun for a few weeks (months?). Be great to catch up with Dale too, and get the latest on whats' happening in the East. Is it too early to start talking up the 'Doctor' ??

Never mind the Dr, who is coming to do the Hawkesbury with me in October? Talking to a few guys at nationals and it sounds like there might be 5 or 6 guys interested and I could do with a training partner over here.

We can pull up the back of the pack together - was going to take my ski because I was slooooow last time too but some tips would be wicked... probably won't go the full 5km either but will be out there.... and on my SUP Stimo!

How long are the boys in town for? Moving house this weekend and floated the idea with wifey that I go paddling Saturday morning and it didn't go down too well.

Hi guys,

Looks like I may be along for a paddle with ya's. I've been able to extract myself away from the usual paddle training (Thanks Glenn). Haven't paddled with you all for too long.

A good strong run in tide today, very high due to full moon approaching.

Looking forward to it.

Hi Guys

It sounds like we're getting a good crowd. Great to hear you're coming down Darren - glad you could get a fill in!

There are two courses - the 5km course to the bridge and the short course to Zephrs cafe (~3.5km). All levels welcome.

Cheers
