hey dave, been chatting with some crew from newport way, and between prone and sup, looks like there is about 10-11 from around here that are going.
think SPSC comp is on the same day, which is a stinker. looks like a great event hey, with come very cool prizes
It would be good to see a big turn out for this. The organisers have put in a massive effort to arrange one of the few ocean paddles this side of the harbour bridge. There are plenty of north side events but very few in the city beaches so please do your best to get there so it can become an annual fixture .

Sorry, would love to participate, but every Sunday's a work day for me. Same goes for why I can't go to SPSC comps. They are a great crew, and I know my surfing and paddling would improve by being part of such events. I hope it goes well.
Hi Guys,
All systems are go for this Sundays race! Excellent weather forecast and some pretty slick racing singlets for competitors - see the photos below! Forward this on to your contacts if possible to pump everyone up for a great day on Sunday!

Big Pete Meyer won the short course and the long course and from the sounds of it when I spoke to him after the race he was more than ready for a large one at the Icebergs.
Not 100% on the minor places but it sounded like a great day.
