Palm 2 Pines & Sydney International Paddle Board Classic on this weekend!

December 07, 2016

This weekend sees the return of the iconic Palm 2 Pines Ocean Race in conjunction with the Sydney international Paddle Board Classic, set to be held off the northern beaches of Sydney.
Vaikobi is once again proud to support this fantastic race, which also forms part of the Australian Ocean Racing Series.
 
Organised by the great team at Ocean Paddler, the 2016 Palm 2 Pines will be run along a 20km course between Fisherman's Beach at Long Reef and Station Beach (Palm Beach) with the start and finish location dependent on the wind direction.
The Sydney International Paddle Board Classic has a flexible course which is weather dependent and decided on race day.
This race will attract some of the best paddlers from around the world along with a bunch of top local paddlers all gunning for the title. 
Amongst the pack, there will be plenty of paddlers looking to claim end of year bragging rights amongst their paddle rivals, so be sure to get your entry in for one last ocean race before Christmas!

Fit Tips

If one of your body measurements is in between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your body measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your hip measurement.

How To Measure

WAIST: Measure around the narrowest part (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal.
HIPS: Measure around the widest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal.
CHEST: Measure the fullest area of your chest. Stand up straight and breath normally.
