If you're taking part in the Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton, you'll be aware that you are required to wear a PFD for the race.
Please post in this thread if:
1. you need a PFD; or
2. you have a PFD you're happy to lend to a competitor.
Any type (PFD type 1, type 2 or type3) are fine for the race.
I will require the services of a pfd,
over at Rotto at the mo, and conditions are about as average as on the gold coast (well maybe not as gusty)
things are looking to improve over the coming days so it will be interesting to get out there to test the starting conditions.
The beach looks pretty narrow where i presume we are going to launch off, but i am sure we will make do.
Can we use the ones that you need to pull a cord to inflate them ?
Self inflating but has to be manually activated .
I've got a spare, will bring it...best suited for seat harness....it is black, first one to PM me has the dibs.
Also got a small one to suite kid or lady, my daughter's.
I'm after a PFD for L2L...kayaking ones seem to be ok as they are alittle shorter and should still fit over a harness.
Hey guys Hamish and I need PFD and apparently a flare gun is needed??? Can you please confirm this WAKSA (about flare guns) and is there anything else? This close to the race and do not have spare time to organise anything as we have to be at Rotto 10am ferry? Cheers
No friggen flare guns and the 2 PDFs are prob. spoken for now, meaning Kat and Hamish have got to see if they fit.
I need a pfd. This is pretty late in the game, anything else we need? Please let us know asap, or competitors will drop out like flies and there will be no race.
hey CarlBevo,
I've love to borrow your small ladies PFD for saturday if it's still available.
Does it suit a waist harness?
Thanks
Just picked one up from BCF. $30 not too bad. Cut fairly high at the back. If you were willing, $99 gets you an ok one....
All sounds like too much hard work. You should not worry about it. I'll get rid of your ticket for you as well. I'm just a nice bloke like that
