Great venue and the pier will be blocked to fisherman and 200 free passes given out so you can watch all the racing from the pier.

12 Towers 7 days
Sups DownUnder 14 days
the sport is looking good here in Australia

Are pfd's required for race?

Optional for both races

yes

Confused now.

Which is it optional or yes must have?

past years leg rope and PFD mandatory for 12 towers. It's a smart choice

PFD is not Mandtatory for 12T

going to be some waves and wind for this one I think.......

Looks like the distance race could be a Downwinder in the Broadwater. This would be a good call.
Surf is out of control so could see the the BOP in protected water too.
