The Ultimate SUP DownWinder-DownUnder
The Stand Up Surf Shop King of the Cut is held along on the beautiful Peel Coast line where the famed, powerful and consistent West Coast Seabreeze blows perfect, un-interrupted runners like an endless conveyor belt.
In its 6th year, the 2017 edition of the King of the Cut has some exciting additions:
1. The Starboard Half Cut - a shorter 10km race.This event will be held on the Sunday, the day after the main race. The Oceanside run is the first half of the famous KotC run, fantastic medium to large runners propelling you down the Peel Coast.
2. The Express Two Storey Living Jeeriginup Run - Estuary Downwind Fun Run on Friday night. Specialised DW Clinics with World Champion Athletes Travis Grant and Terrene Black.
3. Equal Prize Money - This year the prize money for Pro Female and Male competitors is equal for the top 3 paddlers.
4. Open Board Class For Prize Money- With the popularity of the Unlimited Class and listening to feedback from the Pro Riders, we now have a Male Open Board division for the Pro Class. This means the first 5 male paddlers across the line, regardless of board length (14 or UL) will take out the prize money. An Unlimited board has yet to win the KotC, the technical nature of the course seems to even out the board lengths.
5. Foiling Class - the KotC will open up a foiling divsion as a demonstation class for 2017. Whilst this division wont compete the Open Prize money (or the line honours KotC trophy), Enviroplumb has kindly put up a $500 prize for 1st Foiling Board across the line.
6. New Age Divisions - We have Female U/40 14 and Open Female Unlimited (not Pro Class). We also have Male O/60.
7. Outriggers For The Cut - Last year the organisers have invited Outriggers (OC1) to compete in the King of the Cut. The Outrigger community shares similar values to the SUP community and having this traditional craft involved in Australias Premier SUP Downwind Event is a great addition. Welcome onboard Outriggers!
