The 2013 Redink Homes King of the Cut

Where - Dawesville Cut to Singleton Beach Mandurah WA
When - Sunday 8th of December
Entry - https://supwa.tidyclub.com/public/events/443-king-of-the-cut

20km epic downwinder, along the Peel coastline. Best possible conditions for a downwinder and great alternative course options for breeze direction.
There was a lot of talk about this event over at the Nationals, plenty of the East Coast crew are gearing up to come over to take a chunk of the $4000 prize money on offer, including $1200 for the King of the Cut (line honours).

Divisions:
Male Under 40 14'
Male Over 40 14'
Male Over 50 14'

Female Open 14'

Unlimited Open (>14')

More details to come, including Board rental and accommodation options.

Here's a teaser from last year's event:

Can't wait.

How happy am I, had my first DWer on my new board in Currumbin yesterday (great event and fantastic location, fun but not ideal conditions on the day)



I arrived home to Perth tonight, i've got the rest of the week off and check forecast.



and then I watched that KOTC vid.

Sick looking board Tighty - I can see it's going to be another classic O/50 summer battle - got my new board arriving next week !!

Good one Stix, if I don't see you before I will definitely try to 'catch you at The Cut', after last years run I was looking forward to it already but a new board is just making me even more anxious.

It would be great if a few of the other O/50's (and youngsters) we met at Currumbin could make it over, I know it's not easy to get a board over but if you can, or you can beg, borrow or steal hire one, do it, this event should be a cracker.

Perhaps the South Oz crew could drag that trailer full of boards over this side this time.

Here's a few pics from last nights run on the cut run. After the tragedy down south Ashlea thought she would drive along the coast and keep an eye on me last night. Should be a even better run tonight, gonna join the local ski paddlers training for the doctor.

Nice Ben looking good might get down there later in the week if the wind sets up ok Give you a buzz Marcus may have his new stick by then but don't hold your breath

Nice work Ben

Can't say what my preference would be on the shark debate, just gotta get out and enjoy, besides might make everyon paddle a lot faster.

Tuesday just might be the unofficial state run all ready got a crew going ,take the arvo and come and give it a crack .
Lets hope it hangs round for the King of the Cut good practise run yewwwwwwwwwww

Yes Jenkz I am in the o/40's.....and I definitely need the practise.
Great to have you paddling with us too this year mate!

The conditions are looking great! $4000 prize money up for grabs and a few new faces on the Ocean after last weekend. Should be a great run!

It looks like its lining up for a cracker run fingers crossed hope the crew from the east don't get blown off there boards

Hey Stimo, Tuesday is looking like a carbon copy for the weekend, are you doing the Cut run tomorrow?

Hey Stimo you beat me to it!! Conditions look like they are going to be epic, i reckon we should give the track a spin tomorrow arvo as a warm up for sunday
