It has been a long wait but it looks like we might get our first real downwinder.
Based on the southerly forecast, we will be going from Mona Vale Basin (Bongin Bongin Basin) around Barrenjoey and finishing at Station Beach. This makes the run around 14kms.
Will confirm rego and start details later.
And, yes Jezza, Kai Lenny will be racing.

Looks like we can rely on there being a bit of swell for this one :))

Let's hope this forecast is wrong. It's changing daily at the moment so fingers crossed. Not too sure about paddling all of the way on my left side. Prey for a southerly.

I knew this Qld , NSW thing would come into play at some stage. We need a few more interstate downwinders. Maybe a challenge at Merimbula.

Here is a bit of an update.
It is looking like the race course will be from Mona Vale Basin around Barenjoey and finish at Station Beach.
Race start is at 12.30 sharp. Race Briefing will be on the beach at the Basin between 12 and 12.15.
Rego is at Narrabeen Surf Club. I suggest you register at 11 and then make your way up to the Basin.
If there is a change in direction - i will post to Seabreeze tomorrow. There will also be a post on the Oceanseries site.

Basin is beginning to look like a washing machine at the moment so it'll be fun tomorrow.

Just to let anyone know Barrenjoey Road currently blocked north bound due to car fire at Newport.
Hope the wind picks up : ))
Have a great paddle.

Why aren't u paddling Marty?
it will be no freight train downwinder today but a pleasant paddle with a few little bumps along the way.
Should be a fun start out of MV Basin - our version of Maliko Gulch
