Hi all just signed up for the downwind marathon so excited and quite nervous at the same time. Not sure what to expect and was wondering if anyone who has done this event before could offer me some tips or advice to help me better prepare for what will be an amazing 4 days.

Prepare for an increased intake of amber fluids & a Good Time

don't bail on weta at the party otherwise you get labelled a ****e wingman :)

Practice Pinata/find the marker buoy in the Ocean with a 25 knot solid breeze and a 2m running swell

That was last year, I am assured this year we will have cray boats at each mark and they will be visibly enhanced by overhead markers.

Thanks guys, looking forward to sharing a few cold ones
