Course options for the 2007 Dubai Shamaal International Surfski Race

[Editor: For some of the major 2007 races around the world the Dubai Shamaal organizers have arranged sponsorship for 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd paddlers to travel to Dubai.  Because of the timing of the 2007 Perth World Cup (after the Dubai Shamaal!) this didn't work for Australia - so three separate "Cash to Compete" events are being run around Australia.  The winner of each of these races gets US$1000 if he arrives in Dubai to race the Shamaal race...]
