Thanks adam
Top run that one. Any idea if we need a certain number of SUP entries for our race to go ahead or are there no minimum numbers.
Cheers

I don't think there's a minimum number needed. I'll check with Colin.

You may have beat me in the doctor but i'm going to get you in this one Luke.

Are you still ridin the "metrosexual" sup. Maybe you should shave your legs for less wind resistance.

I met Colin today who is running the outrigging regatta on the day and he is the one that is including this down wind race as well. He's a top bloke and very enthusiastic and really keen to have as many sup's as possible.

This might sound like a stupid question but are you saying the race is on the 1st now not the 14th ?

Awsome That means i can still go in it..... Im happy again

Belly

Depends what you classify as short. I will be on an 11'2.

Yep that's short. If you want something a bit bigger there are a couple of people who have spare 11'2 that I have borrowed before. Weren't you going to do The Doctor on a 12'6 or 16'? Or is my memory blending mutiple threads.

Hey Surf4fun - yeah I had GS's DC12'6 lined up for the Dr but put my back out on boxing day - havnt been able to paddle since but hoping to give it a try out this weekend.

Zimbo - have done plenty of 10km flat water paddles on the 9'8 (albeit at a leisurly pace) but anything bigger would be an advantage.

See how my back handles this weekend.

Cheers

Not sure if I am missing something here but where does it finish? Is it at the Old Sailing Club and if so where is that?
Bit of a upwind leg for the Crab Fest race at the end.

It's all sorted now. The event details and maps are all up on the
Mandurah Outriggers Website www.mandurahoceanclub.com.au/

The entry fee for SUPs is now $15 and registration is through the
