G'day Goochi; do you know of any Motels close to the KOTC presentation so I can have a few beers at the preso after the race.
Are you guys running a Shuttle Bus for the week to the lead up to the KOTC so we can get a few Downwind runs in.

If anybody wants to share a Motel near the KOYC presentations (to cut cost) I'm keen as long as you're not gay.

Who will win this years KOTC?

Yep so looking forward to the KOTC Race, can't wait already.

I'd like to thank Cameron McKay from Perth's StandUp Surf Shop for letting be borrow a SIC 17'4'' Bullet for the race, "STOKED"

and I'd also like to thank Luke and Michele Jenkins for letting me share there home with them, "STOKED"

I think I'd better wear 2 PFD's for the Mandurah Duel race because I'll be so hung over after the KOTC race.

See ya's in 6 weeks IP

Shark Management In the event that a shark is spotted, the closest boat will monitor the shark and shadow its position with respect to the paddlers, keeping their vessel between the shark and the paddlers. In the unlikely event that a shark becomes aggressive toward a paddler, please do the following: Sit down on your board to lower your centre of gravityGet the attention of the closest paddler and place your upright hand on your head indicating a finTry to raft up together and wait until the shark moves on
