Pro Windsurfer Australian Sean O'Brien AUS-120, and Julien Ventalon (a French national from Martinique) will contest the Around Green Island Marathon on Waterloo Bay this Saturday.
Sean has just flown back from a gruelling 8 months on the pro circuit, competed in PWA Slalom events in Korea, Aruba, Fuerteventura, Sylt and Turkey.
This will be Sean's first race on his home waters in 2 seasons.
That sounds great. But...
...also the bay will be graced by Trauma. Word has it that he has also entered.
There's talk of another Frenchie coming... Julien Savina.
He assures me his misses doesn't need a lift to the markets that day, so Julien can take the car :-)
Also looks like Chris Tingle from NSW is coming up to race... am picking him up from the airport tonight. If we make it out of the Bavarian Bar tonight alive, then we'll see you all tomorrow :-)
Going to be some hot competition!!
What a race. I had clear air at the start, got to the front and did not see any of the stars. (Rock band. "Sean & the Easybeats" )
Straight line =5kms. Todays tracks.
Kellie, typo error, move decimal point one to the right. (I wish)
Looking good for the race today. 20kts already.
About 20 sailboards so far.
Late entries allowed.
