THINGS are heating up for the overall series win with only two races to go in the Fishos Paddle Series.<\/p>\n
On February 2 race four saw a fantastic turn out, with great depth across the field.<\/p>\n
Victoria\u2019s best paddlers along with a number of interstate visitors from Tasmania and New South Wales raced hard in the windy conditions.<\/p>\n
Organisers said it was great to see some first time racers participating, especially Chloe Scott who battled to take out the win in the open women\u2019s 10-kilometre SUP.<\/p>\n
As always the course was set to reflect the conditions, with an excellent downwind leg from Point Danger back to Whites Beach. The mixed bag of crosswind and headwind let the competitors show their skills.<\/p>\n
Kimberly Gilling won the Under 18 female five-kilometre prone, Tasmania\u2019s Roz Barber took out the women\u2019s 10-kilometre Over 40s ski, with Jan Juc local Jaci Jewson winning the women\u2019s Over 50s five-kilometre ski and Diane Bloom crossing the line with the win in the Over 50 women\u2019s SUP.<\/p>\n
Brea Roadley had her second win of the series in the women\u2019s 10-kilometre ski.<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s open 10-kilometre ski had a very talented field, including Ivor Morgan who just pipped Mick Levertt on the line, as well as Tim Naughtin, Tasmania\u2019s Ben Maynard and New South Wales\u2019 Dean Gardiner. These guys were kept on their toes by paddling the great John Jacoby.<\/p>\n
Great to see the Nalu surf prone division growing each race, 10-kilometre prone division winners are as follows: Under 18 Jolyon Simpson, Open Ollie Butler, Over 40 Tim Watson and Over 50 Jock Evans. Jason Simpson took out the OC 10-kilometre.<\/p>\n
Race five in the series will be held on March 2.<\/p>\n
