Sorry folks, the Dept. of Transport has contacted me and let me know that they are advising all aquatic events in the South West including Perth be cancelled for the weekend due to the significant weather event (ie. cyclone) that will effect the region from tomorrow afternoon. SLSWA and FESA have also issued the same warning.
Now the good news, Dept. of Transport has also said they will allow our event to be postponed until next weekend, so we are still on, The Duel will happen!

Welcome to the Mandurah Duel, an exciting race concept pitting downwind ocean paddling against flat water racing, starting at the same time from the same location but heading in two different directions on two courses of the same length and both finishing in the same location.
This race can only be held in one location, Mandurah, where paddlers are spoilt with fantastic paddling choices. The ocean downwind course for the race is a true downwind course with the prevailing SW Fremantle Doctor blowing parallel to the coast. The estuary course crosses the protected waters of the Harvey Estuary before heading up the estuary through the centre of Mandurah and finishing at The Boardwalk. Check out the Course Maps for details.
