Here is a great article on the King of the Cut race, it's fast approaching who else is coming over?
We have some great downwind tracks in WA but this is the best, great atmosphere, great race, ran by a dedicated SUP crew.
If you can't make it over this year lock it for next year, this event is doubling in size and stature every year.

Those that know for sure will probably confirm but I'm pretty sure it is PFD and flare, no PLB required, well that's what it was last year.
However I just bought a PLB so I will be taking that anyway.
I may have a spare Coastrunner if you want to use it Kieran. Seems to be your backup board over here on the west coast for you.
5 of us gave the King of the cut a smash out last night 24.5 k for most of us found the last 4 k quite testing some found the first K testing too Kent
Hey Stimo, how long did the extended course take you, and are there any good targets on the horizon to aim for ??
Just got word that Penelope Strickland from NZ is heading over for KOTC & The Doctor.
She came 3rd at M2O this year and also 3rd at the Maui Paddleboard Race.
Hi, the Mandurah Mail are doing a King of the Cut story & looking for a local angle. Any contacts appreciated for a person living in the Peel region that is doing the run appreciated asap. Cheers
Stoked for this now!!! Flights - check, accommodation - check, Board - check(due to incredible generosity of WA sup crew jenkz).
Yeeeeeewwwwwwww!!!
regarding the PFD and flare, do we need to pre book them or will there be plenty on the day?
International starboard female racer Marie Buchanan is also coming over for both doctor and kotc. She pretty damn good too downwind. Going to be fab fun
this is looking like a really classy field along with the doctor.
biggest races in oz by a country mile already.

no offence stimo, great job last year mate. but if your it, I hope you have had a secret inboard motor installed in your new board
