The first round of the National Titles has just past with outstanding results from the Brisbane Club. The National Titles were held at Laurieton- Port Macquarie. The first day was surf X and the second day was a grueling 80km long haul.
The Qld boys traveled in a convoyed down the coast into enemy waters on the Friday. The first race began at 10am Saturday morning. The surf was one of the flattest days we have had for a national round. This was then a fast race event. The sand banks made things challenging as the tide kept on dropping, the turn boys seemed to always be in no water. This took its toll on some of the boats as dredging a sand bank half way through a race was a frustrating occurrence. It was full throttle, adrenalin was pumping and it was flat out racing the entire day, with each boat trying to get every last bit of speed possible to get out in front. Bliss Racing managed to flip the boat twice during the day. Once solo before the racing had started and during a race, heading out through the surf; cork screwing off the wave. The Outstanding Flip Award was presented that afternoon. Ha ha. {Golden flipper} Congratulations to Thundercats sales {Sydney Club} for winning the day overall, Fat Cat 2nd {Brisbane Club} and Cockle Bay wharf 3rd { Sydney club}. Brisbane Coast Thundercats dominated the long haul event on the Sunday. The winds were off shore blowing 20-25knts. It was very hard going as it was just as hard going down with the swell and chop for 20km as it was going back into it to complete 1st lap of a 2 lap race. Brisbane pulled in 1st Rampage 2nd Fat Cat and 3rd Tony’s Total Tree Care. WELL DONE. The first round of the nationals was a great success with Fat Cat in1st position overall after the first 2 rounds of the national titles. The next 2 rounds will be on our home turf at Kingscliff on the 7th and 8th of June. So don’t miss out and
