Well done guys. Nice buoy turn Chris. Great work Kristi and Jean......and was that Warwick 1st in the 12'6" class on a Fanatic Falcon as well?
Looked like a good race for Ke Nalu also.

Yeah John,

I decided to challenge myself and enter Men's Open 12'6", rather than enter the Over 50's. Raced on the 2013 12'x 25" Falcon.

It was a good tussle amongst the 14's and interesting to see their superior speed on any downwind bump.
Justin kept me honest on his Naish 12'6" LE, [ as did Jean!].

Plenty of Ke Nalu's in the winner's circle.

The RPS Team collected

Mens Open 14 - 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Womens Open - 1st
Men's Open 12'6"- 1st
Boy's - 1st.

so we had a pretty successful day's paddling.
Chris needed a trailer to get his booty home after winning almost everything in sight

The guy paddling behind Warwick looked surprised at how well Warwick spun his board around the buoy.

Wow dominant display for Fanatic. We don't see enough of these boards racing in Perth. Great looking boards and some solid R&D looking at the Quinny video DJ put up.

What was the format for the sprint race - Tech race style with beach run or racing with a couple of turns?

Hey Goochi,

it was a 2 km course with 6 turns, so there were side, head and tail winds.
PT designed the course and despite the wind being a steady 15 kts for the race, no leg was too difficult.

The 200m sprint race was funnily enough won by Chris and Jean in the respective Men's and Ladie's divisions..............on Fanatic.

The vid of Quinny explaining the Falcons seems to have gone viral. It's everywhere. We were lucky here in Oz as there was quite a bit of R and D based here. Jacko , Angie and others worked with Quinny and the design team to really come up with some boards that work across a wide range of conditions and based on all reports they seem to have done it.

My evil plan to design a course to suit the Starboard Ace backfired dramatically.

While the Naish and Starboard and I think an NSP crashed into each other taking one another out of contention. Sorry about that Warwick.

Conditions didn't really suit the ideal format we are trying to run for our sprints (200 metres straight line, water start and water finish) so we just did a convenient 150 metres straight line from a permanent buoy start line, and finish on the beach. There was a steady 15 knot tail wind and waves so it wasn't really a flat water sprint, more like a mini downwind.

With no lane markings, we soon found out that you can't afford to veer too close to another competitor or you are quickly out of contention - miss one paddle stroke and you're gone.

The whole thing came a bit unstuck for Matt Nottage when he misjudged the water depth 20 metres or so from the beach and decided to make an early footrace for the finish line. Not sure if he was in front or close behind Chris, but his misjudgement cost him any chance to win.

Next time we'll hopefully have a water finish and 200 metres of flat water.

Paul Nottage is thinking if only I could stomp on the tail of the clog as easily as Wazza is flipping that baby round the buoy!
