Requirements: - be able to swim :D

What you'll need: - bathers/towel - wetsuit, thermals, not cotton!!! - shoes to wear in the water - sunscreen - warm clothes for after - snacks - lunch

The plan is to get some sort of paddling in this sunday, to work on the basic skills.

At the moment, the surf report isn't looking promising (2ft - small), however the Yarra is currently sitting at a fairly good level (1.38m) but is going down.

If the surf report stays as it is, we'll head to the yarra. There, those who can, will practice rolling at the end of each of the rapids, whilst others can practice t-resuces if they like, as well as breaking in and eddying out of a rapid.

Hopefully the weather is nice, and it'll be heaps of fun :D:D:D

Also numbers will be limited, as we have limited cars to take boats!!!!

P.s. this plan may change, if the surf suddenly turns super awesome :D then we'll head down to ocean grove, which is a really safe beach with nice consistant swell (when the swell is good :D) . So stay tuned!!!!
