Hi All,

A bit of house-keeping for this weekend.

I've spoken to the race organiser and we've decided to make the Sup race the 13km Metung - Lakes Entrance leg.
We'll be faced with the possibility of W/SW winds around 20 knots, which will leave us exposed for parts of the race, but also well protected for the most part.
Race start at Metung is 1pm.

For the Demo Day on Sunday, the forecast is

Partly cloudy. Isolated showers in the morning and afternoon. Patchy morning fog in the southwest. Winds northwest to southwesterly 15 to 25 km/h tending south to southeasterly 20 to 30 km/h during the day

This will see us move the venue from the Paynesville foreshore to
Captains Cove Marina.
19 Mitchell Street, Paynesville VIC 3880

The protection of the marina will provide perfect conditions to demo boards, so we'll see you there! Demo kicks off at 10am - 3pm.
