Yeah probably will unless the wind is honkering as it is a loop course.

Will wait until the week of the evnet to see what the forecast says.

Sweet will do the same.. should be fun. What you recon 12.6 or 16

No worries Adam.
We can screw a couple of broom sticks to the deck of the Cruiser and put a boogie board on the end of them as an outrigger. Screw down a milk crate as a seat and cut your paddle in half and you'll be right.

If I'd known about it earlier, a race like that where there's a bit of headwind might be easier on an oc1. Probably a bit late now to try and borrow one.

Winds are looking less inviteing now.. Think i might be sitting this one out my arm is in desprate need of resting since i hurt it a week ago and keep paddleing with out it recovering..

Yeow

No sign of the 17' yet so count me out.

Belly I know you are falling apart .

Was absolutely buggered after the race. There was just two of us Mike (from Auswind) and I.

We entered the 11km paddle but missed the turnaround point and ended up doing the 18km paddle.

Time (?) dont know yet. but will check. I am guessing 2 to 2.5 hours.

Mike was on the SB New and I was on my SB Pin.

Looks like the New is a good flatwater board. Its interesting and I was thinking, the thing that makes this board (the New) have such a good and effortless glide is the tail not the nose. The front is very different to the Pin and does not slice through the water, but maintains a really good glide. The tail tappers off to a point and has a real smooth release of the water line which IMO give it its glide.

Want to start doing regular training sessions so if you are keen will let you know in preparation for the Whalebone race.

Cheers hope you arm gets better.
