The Doctor surf ski race was run today from Rottnest Island to Sorrento Beach, a distance of 27.5km. There was a 14 knot WNW wind blowing as about 272 paddlers lined up for the start at 1.30pm.
With some of the world's best ocean ski paddlers in the field it would be hard to pick the winner. Would Clint Robinson add The Doctor to his 20 Beaches win a few weeks ago? Could Jasper carry on his winning form over his brother Dawid? Can Jeremy Cotter win this race as well as the Fenn Cup or would last year's winner Tim Jacobs make it two in a row?
