Looks like a good event, any expectations for the numbers that may rock up for this , I need an excuse , again, to head south for a wave followed by an ale

Yes, the change was made based off feedback received by competitors. The upwind leg now sits at the beginning of the race rather than at the end.

So SUP marathoners do not need pfd's (yay)? according to info sheet.

Can this be confirmed.

SurfingQLD said..
This is correct. Although Surfing Queensland does recommend the use of PFD's, it is not a requirement for SUP or Prone Paddlers in the Marathon, only the Skis.

All SUP and Prone Paddlers however MUST wear a leg rope.

Is this the same for the Aussie titles run by SWQ/SWA?

Pumped.........

How is the swell forecast yeeeew , any ideas on surfing location ?

Casso said..
Hey SurfingQLD - are there going to be live scores online so those of us who can't be there in person can share the excitement?

Hey Casso..... I don't think it's wise for other states to see the Queenlander's scores, you might get worried come Ozies

I bet you guys wished the Marathon (Sun) and Technical Race (Fri) were switched around?



At least the conditions for the surfing should be OK.

lads, no one would be dwing Friday if they had sense- way to much to much swell- ideally you want no swell but lots of wind swell. besides how do you get and and in with your board in one piece. I surfed the alley this arvo and it was building again with some very solid sets coming through with the strong off shores messing with the faces.
good chance the technical race was will be in the ck.


now the surfing sup comp at rainbow would be a special

AS much as I think i will be on a loosing ticket here I have just been down to the Alley for a surf check. While the swell is up it has a lot of south in it as well as some strong offshores coming up the Creek keeping clean around from the top of the Alley.

I am conceding that it looks too wild to be able to run it on one of the open beaches without a sudden change in conditions but . . . . . . . . Surfing QLD have a great opportunity to run the 12'6 surf race tomorrow safely off the beach between Lacey's Lane and Palm Beach Surf Club. Lets hope they stay true to their "surfing" roots and throw down the challenge!!

The Optimist!!

you guys

Yeah pretty challenging all round conditions . Not sure about the racing but bring it on for the surfing. Yeeeew

Yep Ocean all the way!!!!!!!!!!
It isn't the Qld flat water titles

actually its not called a surf race or a ocean race- technical and marathon can be anything- so it could be the qld technical flatwater titles lol

What are the results from today's BOP? Men and women?
