For those that are not aware the 1st race in this series is this weekend.
The Reef To Reef is a great course and is able to be run in both Southerly and Northerly winds.
If you want to know more follow the Face Book page "NSW SUP Downwind Series."
The details below cover the series information.
After discussions with a number of event organisers a new downwind series has been put together. Unlike the last series this one will not be run by the Sydney Paddle Surfing club. Each individual race organiser will be responsible for their own race cordination , communication, and entry. Listed below are the various events and their contacts where applicable. If you have any questions regarding an event please contact the specific race co ordinator. In order to keep the SPSC... FB page from clogging up with series information all future communication will be via the NSW Down Wind Series Face Book page (Formerly the Sydney Down Wind series page)

Just a reminder to get on line and enter.
For anyone wanting to dip their toe in a shorter race there will be a short course from Mona Vale to Newport also. Plenty of support and water safety so it's a great opportunity to see what this ocean racing is all about.
The 2nd leg of the NSW Downwind Series is on this Saturday and the forecast is looking NIIICE!!
Check out the details of the Sea Cliff Ocean Challenge here to find out more. The organisers are doing all they can to make the SUP division as good for us as possible so show some support and come on down. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=776463569084060&fref=ts&ref=br_tf

How many SUP's showed up to Reef to Reef?
Not really sure. Approx 20 - 30
After nearly 40 SUPs turned up for some technical downwind conditions at last weeks Sea Cliff Challenge, interest is building in the series.
There are some great photos on the series FB page.
Due to a clash with the King of the Harbour event we have moved race 7 to Sunday 20th December. Event details as well as series info can be found on the NSW Downwind Series page on Face Book.
There will also be an event in January which will have a 2 day waiting period. More details to follow.
