Outlaw Ocean Series Race 6 Barwon Heads
Date:
March 28th Sunday
Where:
At the Barwon Heads little jetty just up-river from the Barwon Heads bridge (1km) on Ozone Road which runs off Hitchcock Av
here will be both long course (14km) and short course (7km) events
.
The long course race will be 14km starting and finishing opposite the Little Jetty. The course will travel out into the ocean, along the coast towards Ocean Grove and back into the river. It may involve a couple of laps. Exact course details TBA, but will also depend on the conditions on the day.
This race is also a perfect opportunity for paddlers less comfortable with the surf to compete, as the short course event can be held within the protection of the Barwon Heads River rather than going out into strong winds or large swells (if these happen to be the conditions on the day).
So, to all of those paddlers new to ocean paddling or multisport or river paddlers who are not comfortable in windier conditions or larger surf, this is your perfect chance to get out there and have a crack in the world's fastest growing paddling discipline. It's bloody good fun and some fantastic scenery to be seen.
Also, to all you clubbies, your season will have just finished to come and have a crack in an ocean race. It's only an hour and, if we get enough spec ski paddlers, we have a separate event for you guys and girls. All of your northern and western clubby rivals regularly do these races in their respective states.
Junior ski, SUP and paddleboard course: This will be a river race starting at the Barwon Heads little jetty, heading under the Barwon Heads bridge, then out and around the far ocean marker. The race finishes back at the Barwon Heads little jetty.
