Doing a DW with DJ.
Crocs...??????????
Which ones?






Not the posh ones on the left. Not the "Hello Sailor" ones on the right either.

Plain rubber, one colour and one colour only...I think it's called "Peterson Khaki"

Just entered in 10km DW & 6km races.
Noticed this on the website for the DW race.......'5. Wearing of a high visibility rash vests or similar over garment is mandatory'.
So now I have to go out and buy myself some poxy fluro rashie I'm never going to wear again or are they provided??
My Camelback has a couple of reflective strips on it......is that 'high vis' enough??

Kick open the wardrobe Deano and stop pretending you're too young to remember the 80s. Surely you had some Don Johnson fluro fitted t-shirts.

Will the wind hold up for Saturday?

That southerly looks to be pretty much an offshore direction for the intended course so we'd either want Thursday's strong W-SW or Sunday's light wind from the south.

Spent an hour paddling with a New Zealand fur Seal in Pittwater yesterday. I was practicing in booties in preparation for the cold water. Booties and a seal - Melbourne here we come.

We may need to revise the mankini rule. Downwinder this morning with 35 knot gusts and the occasional 40+ peak. Yeah, the water's a tad cold. When Warwick the Snowboard king goes into hypothermia, you know it's a bit fresh.

Yeah, but I know how to dress correctly when I go shredding!

I don't own a sup wardrobe, maybe I really need to re-think what conditions we have here, mid-winter Melbourne. Oh , to have been in my 4/3 and booties this morning, rather than the man-kini!
