Don't forget to get your entries in for next weekend, online closes tomorrow so make sure you avoid the late charge by registering through the surfing WA website before tomorrow night.
I hope that the wind comes to the party and that you all have a great run. Unfortunately I can't be there as I have to work.
Some weird weather going on at the moment, but Saturday is shaping up to be great !! The 3 metre swell and 15 - 20 knot Southerly will create some awesome runs, and make the last 200 metres very interesting for the spectators (and competitors !!). The finish will be at Singleton Beach, be there by 3.00pm to watch the excitement, and cheer the paddlers home. The race commitee are still chasing a couple of volunteers to help with some on-land admin on the day, if you can help, please let Greg K ( Goochi) or myself know.
Entries closed on Wednesday night. We have a fantastic field of the State's best paddlers competing this weekend.
If you missed out on entering, or want to change your board class - no problem - email gregk@horizonphysio.com.au and we can get you in as a late entry.

...... forgotten what I was going to say next ??!!
Watch out for the OPC, we may not come first but maybe that's only because we like to prolong the pleasure.
Do you know if that new board floats yet chickenstix?
Just to confirm Krankimans previous weather post, its going to be good!!!!. To the OPC, you be safe out there guys .
Had the new DC 14 out a few times and she is a dream to paddle. Amazing that she is 3" narrower than my last DC, yet feels just as stable, but a whole lot slicker thru the water. Dale IS the master !!
