Comments for Durban World Cup - ** Breaking News ** at http://www.surfski.info , comment 0 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.surfski.info Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:54:40 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/730/147/#pc_2463 Latest rankings imminent. Latest unofficial news is that enough prize money is close to being secured to make Durban a 4-star event. Which in turn makes it critical for the top of the World Series... Stay tuned...! - Rob Mousley Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:04:51 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/730/147/#pc_2462 So who is now sitting the top of the pile with only the Durbs WC to go? I guess the prize money or lack of it may well swing the star rating value of the DWC, could we already have a new World Series Champion? Ps Louis, if you keen we could catch the CT westerlies with good solid ground swell running to make Durbs downwind on R 500 juice with a rest up & eat on the chokka boats for free! - Jamii Hamlin Fri, 06 Jun 2008 10:03:02 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/730/147/#pc_2459 What with travel costs etc, there will have to eventually be a fair spread between Durban and Cape Town. I calculated that a trip from Cape Town to Durban and back in a normal average pick-up truck will set you back around ZAR 6000 - JUST FOR FUEL !!! Add the race fees, accomodation, drinx, etc etc and it will shortly be impossible for Capetonians to participate in a Durban-based World Cup. - Louis Carstens Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:54:13 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/730/147/#pc_2458 Hmm... Scarborough to the Point and direct to Fish Hoek bypassing Buffels? What a ride... In summer - southeaster guarenteed, all the tourist attractions of the Cape... Hmm... - Rob Mousley Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:29:59 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/730/147/#pc_2457 Hi Not that I am living there any more, but just out of interest, why was a decision made not to have one of the South African WC Events in Cape Town? There are some classic paddles and we will not even get into the other reasons to have an event there. I thought it would be rotated? Rgds Ben - Ben Silverston Thu, 05 Jun 2008 07:48:49 +0100
