Looks like current Northerlies on the Goldy are going to swing more to the East by the weekend. Possibly light ESE breeze Sunday morning, turning more Southerly throughout the day. Swell looks like increasing to 1.5 - 2m, so could be an interesting start for the race.

Keep those entries rolling in.
You can get a beach start as well. Its only $10

Race set to start at 8.30am, if you can get to south side of Elephant Rock by 7.30 to sign in/enter. The earlier start the better for conditions. If wind swings more southerly, last gasp into Kirra should be more protected, but winds look like staying between 5-8 knots ESE up till 10am.

Depending on conditions, could be anywhere from 2-200 sweepers on deck (There could be some last minute pikers)

what a race between billy and travis. i watched the start in conditions no one in their right minds would do outside a race. pulled up at balinga and watched with the glasses and then to kirra to see the finish. travis was right behind billy the whole way. both were paddling away like men possessed. i was wondering who would buckle. travis made a late charge at the buoy, but billy held him and got the first wave in. that was all that was in it. troy was really impressive at 3rd on a board he made. super paddling in really bad conditions- very inspiring stuff

ps everyone who finished the race deserves a gong. the whole race was against the wind,swell and current.

Yeah that was tuff , im gonna be paying for it tomorrow.Great effort by everyone who entered.

Great race and good results for those who had the ticker to give it a go. Amazing to see the coasts top guns fighting it out for 1st and 2nd and big raps to fellow breezer "starlet gc" for being first lady home - great effort Jen.

Thanks BB! It was a pretty hard going for my first race!! Here are some pics of the start of the event and the conditions we faced!

Told ya it was a fast board didn't I Lacey .......

that it is,travis rang up the factory asking for a board, didn't blink an eyelid to lend it to him, as i knew it would really suit the conditions(very light) and i guessed billy and travis would be fighting it out

Ok you've talked me into it - got $500 cash here for you if you wanna drop it around. and for that price I hope you are throwing in a fin/legrope and cover.

see that and raise you 1 - $501

Dont forget it is 3rd hand - I think you are perhaps paying $1 too much but I guess its always gunna be that way - you big spenders crushing us minions who scrimp and save and try to make a fair offer and all I was trying to do was help poor old lacy out. I am deeply offended sir !!!

Judging by recent posts I think Dogman needs another board for the Armada.

I expect my bid to be gazumped - $501 + 1/2 a pie

Didn't the DC come second. If its so fast why are you selling it. What about the winning board, was it a Lahui Kai

the winning board- lahui kai. i brought the board of just wrong,i liked the lightness and extra volume in it from the normal 12'6. the thing actually doesn't surf to bad either. this was a fill in board as i'm keen to put a few of my own idea's into a board. i'm not overtly worried about selling, if it goes,it goes. if doesn't, i still have a very good board

What's a Peasi special .... sounds like a drink?
