Our first Sydney Paddle Surfing Club event of the 2012/2013 season is coming up this Sunday, 12th August. This will be at Palm Beach, starting at 7:30am and we'll probably be right in the southern corner to get a bit of protection from the forecasted huge swell and strong wind.
Depending on the wind, we may turn the race into a 6km downwinder on Pittwater so be prepared with a legrope (essential), PFD (optional) and camelback (optional).
Membership fees are due for the new season but single comp membership is also available.
Hope to see you on Sunday at Palmy.
Hey casso..
Is the comp definately running because i was wondering wether you guys would still be able to run it??![]()

Looks like will be trying to run it Kai ... The down wind race should happen for sure as that's in pittwater so that will be best race yet looking at the current forcast !!
The surfing well we should be ok in the corner at palmy ?? Depends how big and windy it gets?? Casso is going to check it out Saturday as is doing a down winder up that way so will have a good idea of the surf con-testability for Sunday .. I will chat to him so give us a call late Saturday arvo.. Dan
No why would that be when I'm back Saturday?? Comps Sunday champ ?? Anything I'm actualy frothing about Sunday ... Gunna be best race ever can't wait !!!!
Hahaha Dan and goaties bickerings.. haha ![]()
Cool dan i will ring you late saturday and ask u what you think..
But it would be good to do the downwinder either way..![]()
Maybe we can move the comp to the next point south, no potential crowd problem and no closeouts. Maybe some slabs on low tide. Quick walk or up wind paddle from Kiddies! Rock off can be a bit suss but judges could just hang on the rocks. ![]()
... and if are planning on doing the race, make sure you get there by 8am because we may do that first to make the most of the stronger wind, let the swell ease a bit and let the tide fill in.
Brown Water/Kick will have a fair few wavesailors on it ![]()
