We use ocean skis (familiar brands like Epic and Fenn, Think, Vajda and Stellar), outriggers, racing kayaks and SLSA spec racing skis. Our aim is to participate in high level ocean paddling events, such as the Australian Ocean Series, Perth World Cup, 20 Beaches and other events in Australian like the Anaconda and the Molokai World Cup event. All event updates and event entries are included on the groups Facebook page, all paddlers are welcome to post, events, training sessions and in particular group meet ups for down wind training. |

Wrap up from Sunday 29 July race
A great day out , and turn out for our first race. Well done to everyone who raced today, conditions were very tricky, very fast conditions also at times. I’m sure everyone got something from racing today, it really doesn't matter where you finish, what matters is how you handled the conditions and distance as this will make you a better paddler come states and Aussies. Times below , thanks to Luke Jones for water cover, I’m sure he won’t do that again ha ha... See you at the next race. Cheers from SA ocean paddlers committee Wayne Jones Craig Burton Justin Needham Bevis , Dannion Hards Steve Dalton Wayne Jones (Chairman) Race results below:
