With all those inspirational videos coming out of Vic on downwinders,are there any being done around South Aus? Don't know if I am completely up to the challenge ,but it looks like it could be fun once you are.

Id think paddling the river Torrens would be quite an experience....

With the shape of the SA coast, there are plenty of options plus regular summer sea breezes along metro beaches.....

Hi Waxer
A few of the boys are regulars along the local beaches but we slip by so fast you probably would miss us if you blink

If you're keen for our next outing PM your number and we'll touch base.

Port N to Moeys good in straight northerly wind.
Maslins or Moeys for southerly to port n or Christies.
Scotty Macs got some nice runs up north apparently, but he's been coming south recently to show us how it should be done

We are waiting for the right conditions to try Myponga to Sellicks and Mags has got some brilliant runs down there around Abnormalville

Many of the metro paddlers get together regularly with info posted on the supcrew FB page.

Cheers

Good Dr. I was thinking Penneshaw to Cape Jervis .Seriously though, I was thinking Myponga to Sellicks was an option and I knew you did Moeys both ways .I thought those guys flying past where on jet skis,but I do have an eye test booked.Lately it seems there as been too much swell side on even when there was a Northerly,so the summer may be the best.You mentioned Moeys back to port N in a southerly, to me, some time ago .Sounds good,I will be in touch.I think at this point the Torrens as suggested is probably not a goer,however Lake Alexandrina would have possibilities ...Cheers
