The nsw state titles was held on the weekend at Cronulla. It was a 2 day competition with Surf X on the Saturday and Long Haul on the Sunday. The Waves were very testing in the surf X as many boats flipped over due to a 15knot SE breeze. The Sunday conditions were perfect as there was a 5knot west wind and great conditions for a 80km long haul.

The Overall Results were:-

1st Adrenalin Racing {nsw}

2nd Fat Cat {qld}

3rd Hammer Time {qld}

Congratulations to the QLD boys for doing so well in NSW Titles. This was great practice for the National Titles round 1 and 2 held in three weeks at Port Haven/ Laurieton NSW. The Qld boys will be ready..................................
