Summer Sizzzler race no 7 was held under blue summer sky’s at St Brelades Bay on Sunday 15th July at 16:30. The course was a triangular course taking the racers up the right hand side of the bay, around the rocks next to devil jaws where they headed left to do a short Down wind run to the far left corner of the bay where they had to surf on to the beach and run with their board around the beach flag and back to the water. Once in the water the racers had to paddle along the shore line to a sea marker in the right hand corner into a F5 head wind and deal with side swell all the way.

The course was 2,5 laps = 4 miles.

Summer Sizzler race no 6 was held at St Brelades Bay on Sunday 1st July at 16:30. The sun was shining and there was actually some warmth coming off it. The wind was blowing from the North and at times was a little gusty there was also a small amount of swell pushing in which meant there were a few bumps to be found.

The course was the confusing ARROW lay out which involves multiple turns and for a short laid out course actually covers a fair distance. This race was 3 laps which = 3.5 miles.

After the main race a few people hung on to take part in a fun relay race.

Team 1 was Andre – Prone, Gary – SUP, Stuart – Ski and Dave L – SUP

Team 2 was John – SUP, Tim T – Prone, Richie – SUP, Robbo – Ski

In the end it was Team 1 that took the win
