North Narrabeen will again play host to this invitational event with this year’s competition a golden opportunity for the crews to stamp authority over their rivals with some serious racing before preparations for the NSW and Australian titles really ramp up.
Crews will contest races in the U19, U23, Reserves, and Open Divisions with a healthy spread of clubs in contention.
Because this year’s competition is earlier in the season, confirmed starters are predominantly from the Sydney Northern Beaches, Central Coast, Sydney and the Illawarra areas.
The competing crews might have to wait for a few more weeks until they race against their northern rivals but this weekend’s action will be just as fierce.
To win the title, crews in each of the divisions will face off in three races to accrue points with the top six moving through to the final which will be an exciting climax to the event. NSW Surf Sports Development Officer Tim Piper is anticipating an exciting competition.
“Hopefully there will be a bit of a swell for the crews although we are anticipating hot weather.”
“I’d like to thank the North Narrabeen club for their support in hosting the event for a third straight year. It’s a great beach for surf boat racing and we’re thrilled to be able to return with such a high-quality competition,” he concluded.
Action in the 2017 Best Of The Best Surf Boat Challenge gets underway this Sunday 5 February at North Narrabeen with racing from 8am AEDT.
