The first round of the QLD Champs kicked off with a bang as we masnaged to have some type of new record for flips in one day. There were 6 flips punching through 5ft waves and alot were doubling up.The wind was a good 15knots s-sw which made boats twist in the air. 2 new B graders,white one and J-Lij had a go and did really well concidering it was there first time racing. The crowd really enjoyed the racing as a big cheer went out as Fat Cat fliped on his last lap and won the flipper award. Thanks to Salt SLSC for taking all the boat and gear up and down the beach and also suppling first aid. Congratulations goes to:- 1st place Tonys Total Tree Care 2nd Hammer Time 3rd Fat Cat 4th Gabba Sports 5th Head Case 6th H2Go 7th The Ducks Nuts B Graders White one and J-Lij TO CHECK OUT PHOTOS OF THE DAY CLICK HERE.... |

After our Race Director spoke with the Life Guard appointed by the Council on Saturday afternoon who advised against racing due to the lack of beach, we were left with no decision but to cancel the event. We apologise for those of you who made arrangements in advance, but unfortunately we cannot go against their call. Clause 5 of the Conditions of Racing provided by the Gold Coast City Council states "You are required to abide by any direction issued by the Lifeguard Superintendent for the area". Our decision is not made lightly and if could be avoided, would be. If you look on the surf cam pics taken during the morning you will see there was no way we could have held an event in these conditions ie. no beach. We leave our decision until Saturday afternoon to make a call. Sometimes conditions can change where winds are not pushing water further up the beach but yesterday wasn't the case. We don't have a crystal ball. It is unfortunate, but we'll attempt to obtain a permit to replace this event. You may suggest that "don't ask the lifeguard" but at the end of the day, ignorance is not an excuse. http://www.coastalwatch.com/camera/cameras_large.aspx?cam=1125&state=QLD&t=1:27:21%20PM&camName=Seaworld John Kerrisk |
