The major disincentive to enter and compete, seems to be the cost. Requiring escort boats for each participant adds greatly to the cost. So why not issue each participant with an emergency beacon to be activated when in trouble and have a certain number of rescue/escort craft. Have each participant qualify by completing a 30km downwind race, so that you know they aren't palookas. - Gary Kroukamp Sat, 05 Apr 2008 15:58:04 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/673/147/#pc_2224 For our newbies to the sport it will be interseting to know what they paddled back in 70's and 80's, are there any photos posted somewhere for the "old days"? - Eddie Stafford Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:45:30 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/673/147/#pc_2222 Yep we do have some info. I'll revamp and update with last year's results & then post.

This is because cash is not used at the club, so the sponsoring member has to make sure his guest is good for the $$. - Mark Buck Thu, 03 Apr 2008 22:16:18 +0100
