Chookc just wondering about the round on the 6th of april at the Narrows how does the slalom work will be home for this round so intersested in maybe having a crack...If anyone else knows how it works.....

Hey Chook

Is the slalom just an open day or is it for points towards the champs?

Is the surf race a goer or scrapped for this season?

i think its going to be a race round like normal !!!!!

The 6th of April at this stage is to be a race round... I won't be able to source a surf location before then still trying to locate source a surf round for May though...

so it will be a narrows event?
