The 9km Distance Race
Info
We are anticipating a NE wind, predominant this time of year. The 9km course will be confirmed prior to Sunday but will be competed on the flat water of Lake Illawarra, finishing at Reddall Reserve. Waer safety craft will be on hand & used if required. Boards may be of any size but 12-14ft race boards are recommended. Leashes must be worn, & whilst PFDs are not mandatory, they are advisable. This race is recommended for experienced distance paddlers.
