G'day guys. Just quick question. I have entered the king of the Cut. I enjoy down wind paddling but I'm in it for fun.

I only have one race board and it's a 12'6. I am I wasting my time entering or should I see if can borrow a 14footer.

With three surfing sups my funds cant cover 14footer as well.

Yep just do it on the 12'6 if you can't get your hands on a 14.

It is amazing how much difference it makes on a 14 though, I have done a couple of downwinders lately on my 12'6 because my 14 is stll at a mates place (well at least I hope it is).

Whilst it is still fun on the 12'6 you have to work much much harder to get on the runners, I was very suprised at how much more tired I feel after doing a downwinder on the 12'6 and the average/max heartrate is also much higher.

Hey Bender your more than welcome to take my YOB 14 for a blat, I'm stuck in Perth for training for a few weeks so I can drop it off one weekend for ya.
