A lot of ski and outrigger paddlers paddle between Gunnamatta and Kurnell on a Southerly, cutting straight across Bate Bay from Oak Park to Voodoo. You can pull in at Boat Harbour , but not again until Kurnell. Not done it myself, but know its a popular run with ocean paddlers. I'm sure someone would have done the same on a paddle board. Bonnie Vale to Oak Park to Darook and back is a good shorter option to get you back where you started. Or Gunnamatta (uphill) to Bundeena and back is a fun run that I have done many times on ski, oc1 prone paddleboard and standup. I also know some folk that have caught the ferry into the wind and cruised back under paddle / wind power.
Too many options.

If the wind is howling from the south with biggish swell, whats the best place to do a DWer in the Sutherland area??

Has anyone paddled Bundeena to Kurnell??

If anyones going this weekend let me know.

cheers

Audley to Yowie Bay is also a really fun option if the wind is SW and if you don't want to go 'outside' as such....I'll be sure to let you know next time I'm doing a run but won't be this weekend.

Just getting over a hospital stay and illness.

yeh I've always been up for this type of run , boat harbour - cronulla or anywhere around the bay will be fun in the summer time with the right northerly winds!

Hey Guys,

I'm riding a Fanatic 12'6 Carbon.
Keen as to do a DW'er somewhere Saturday.
I paddled from Elouera > Boat Harbour > Shark Island > Elouera this morning.
Def wasn't a downwinder, but was pretty easy going so with some wind up the backside it should be easy.

Ill check Saturday morning and see what people are keen to do..

Bring it on

I would be up for that run too, just can't make it tomorrow though. Should be good from boat harbour to gattamatta once the summer nor-easters start howling.

Well the forecast was right.

the wind has backed off big time.
A small dribbly 1-2ft onshore wave rolling in at Wanda but thats about it.

Guess its the day to clean the house.

Keep your eyes open for tomorrow, supposed to crank in a again.

have a good one
