Geographe Outrigger Regatta 2018

170 registered paddlers took part in the 2018 Geographe Regatta in “different” paddling conditions yesterday. After years of assure waters, blue skies, calm winds and gentle ocean swells we enjoyed the challenge of something completely different – grey troubled skies, strong persistent winds, significant ocean swells, cold conditions and the occasional huli!

The Red Boat huli’d off the end of the Jetty and conditions were so rough Dave towed them back to shore with his Support Boat…

The boys enjoyed the capsize challenge anyway!

A very close finish…
