The 3rd Sydney Offshore – 6 Feb
on January 20th, 2010Posted In: .All The Very Latest News, - Australian news
The 3rd Sydney Offshore is to be run on the same course as last time. Brooklyn – Sydney Heads – Brooklyn on 6 Feb. It is to be held on the last warm up and conditioning weekend before the Southern 80, so the training alone will be invaluable.
Expect even more crews, and even more of the World’s best, take on the course and see who comes out on top this time.
Can either Jason or Peter make it win number 2?
Will the brutal Sydney offshore water return from race #1 and test the whole field ?
I live at Umina Beach and for those who are not aware of the location it is Ocean Beach which faces directly toward Lion Island. If the swell on the 6th Feb is anything like it was yesterday 20th Jan I really feel for those competing. Ocean Beach on a good day produces very small 2 – 3 foot waves due to the protection offered by Box head and Lion Island. Yesterday we saw 8 – 10 foot waves, which has not been seen on this beach except in storm conditions and yesterday was a perfect summers day. For those interested in up to date weather reports with swell and wind direction 7 day forecast go to http://www.seabreeze.com.au. Good luck to all competitors. I watched the last race from Warrah Trig Look out which is on the north side of the entrance to broken bay just above Pearl Beach and Patonga. With a good set of Binoculars you can see the boats running down back along palm beach. 10 minute walk from the Car park to the look out. Great long view vantage point. Like being in a chopper. Have fun guys.
im tiping wc 9901
stouty is still in his winning mood, he’ll smoke everybody as he did in mens open
it wont be 120mph water…

im tipping another close race between wc9901 and zig.. with wc9901 taking it out stouty following in 2nd zig 3rd pete 4th
Peter Proctor is one of the greatest racers on the planet Wayne can come down but i know Zig will be the man to beat for sure if you could put money on the run i would back Walmsley and Peter to give Wayne a run.
stouty smokes everybody
make your mind up tom is in stout or wayne you can only wear one hat
mail is stout is unable to ski this one so Zigs the man again
good luck everyone
Is Luke Keys skiing it ?
If so I Think he could win this Offshore race, Hopfully i will come and watch the race and see my main man ‘LK22′ cross the line in 1st.
Good luck to everyone racing !
It looks like its going to be the roughest race yet , may the Best Man win !!
Hi everyone,
due to dangerous seas the SO3 has been postponed to a later date (TBC).
more info will be posted soon, we hope this has not caused many people drama but we dont want any boats sinking or skiers being in danger out there.
thanks
