BMD NORTHCLIFFE PRESENTS 2008 DOLPHIN OCEAN CLASSIC: 4TH OCTOBER 2008

$35,000 IN CASH & PRIZES TO BE WON

It is our pleasure to invite you to Australia's premier long distance surf racing event.  Fast becoming the top endurance event on the Surf Sports Calendar, the 2008 Dolphin Ocean Classic, presented by BMD Northcliffe Surf Club, is set to be bigger and better than ever, with the Ocean Swim, Beach Run, Marathon Surf Ski and Board paddling events.  Events this year will be open to athletes from U11 through to over 50's and will include for the first time Ocean Ski and Ocean Board races.

RACE BRIEFING:

 There will be compulsory RACE BRIEFING in the Training Room at BMD Northcliffe Surf Club (Times Below).  All competitors MUST attend irrespective of when your race starts.  You will be issued with race numbers and competitor packs from 7am at BMD Northcliffe Surf Club on race day.

SETTING OF COURSES:

 It is important to note that constant observation of the wind and sea conditions will be made prior to and on the race day, via the internet, weather bureau and Coast Watch. 

Ski & Board Courses: Subject to the conditions the course may be altered to favour the paddlers (eg. a north to south or south to north course).   In the event of calm weather all ski and board paddlers in all age groups will start and finish at Northcliffe Beach.  The preference is for racing to travel with the prevailing wind parallel to the beach with designated turning buoys throughout the course, therefore keeping all paddlers as close to shore as possible to enhance spectator viewing and media involvement.   At no time will any unnecessary course be taken or course changes made that will endanger the safety of any paddlers or safety vessels.

NOTE:  Ski paddlers must carry a minimum of one (1) litre of drinking fluid in this race..... (This fluid must be attached securely to the person or craft)

 Run / Swim Course: Subject to the conditions the course may be altered to favor the runner / swimmer (eg. a sheltered beach if conditions are deemed too rough).

MORE COURSE DETAILS WILL BE PROVIDED AT BRIEFING ON RACE DAY!
