As the event doubled up as SA Champs this year, conditions preference was given to the wave event and was determined but the SUPDurbs Proi event committee late into he week with the race event taking pack on the Friday and wave event over the Saturday and Sunday.
Brandon Read set up a really interesting technical style course in front of DUC. The race consisted of a 4 laps, with a beach start right in the corner best to the harbour wall with 3 beach runs around the chicane which kept paddlers for heading over the Veggies rocks. The total course distance was ~10.5km.
