Not long now until we get to decide who is the best oceanpaddler in country. The SHAW AND PARTNERS AUSTRALIAN OCEAN RACING SERIES kicks off soon with the first event in South Australia, (Race 3 SA Ocean Series) and culminating with the FENN WEST COAST DOWNWIND in WA. The national champ across all categories will come from three races within the series. The "big ones" , SHAW AND PARTNERS 20 BEACHES and SHAW AND PARTNERS DOCTOR are must dos with your final points coming from any of the other events during the year.
This season also features a dedicated National Champs for double skis.
The MANLY WHARF BRIDGE TO BEACH will incorporate the Double Ski Champs to find out who is our best pair across a range of double categories.
The event still has all the single categories making it a great opportunity to earn some points towards your national ranking.
Big numbers expected across all events as paddlers as paddlers battle for championship honours.

The time just before we embark on one of our trips/expeditions always plays on the nerves.
Will the weather work, have we provided the right craft for the particpants, drinks food all good, and most importantly will those coming along, enjoy it.
Our final Abrolhos Trip for the year starts in a couple of days. We have a pretty experienced group on board for this one so we should manage to get the whole group out into some decent stuff. There is always plenty do if the wind doesn't play ball. The Abrohlos is a very special place with a very interesting, dark back story.
Two trips to go after this one, Tahiti followed by our second Ningaloo Dreaming trip for the year.

The FENN BONITO, ideal for kids that want to look and feel like they are riding the same craft as their parents. Super stable with all the attributes of the FENNS.
