Who wants to go to Hamilton Island? We have 3 fantastic Hamilton Island accommodation prizes to give away to attend the 2013 Gatorade Clash Of The Paddles on Hamilton Island just for racing in The Duel! We are going to give these away as random draw prizes, one each for ski, outrigger and SUP paddlers who compete in the ALCOA Duel. The Gatorade Clash of the paddles will be celebrating it's 30 anniversary next year and has now expanded from just an outrigging regatta to include skis, SUPs, paddle boards and for the first time in 2013 dragon boats.

Here is a fantastic video put together by the Jeep Surfski World Series team of the 2012 Mandurah Duel, it really captures the awesome conditions on the day that just got better and better during the race. It also catches the great tussle between the Mocke brothers that went down to the wire.
Jasper Mocke the winner of the Open Ski in the Mandurah Duel 2012 was kind enough to pose for this photo with our junior MOCA paddlers Giaan, Sarah, Sarnia, Jess and Milly, after his awesome win on Sunday. A really nice guy and a great gesture.
What a fantastic Duel, 246 paddlers took to the water in the Ocean vs Estuary challenge. This year the ocean won with Greg Long taking the line honours on an OC1 managing to get over the line in front of the fast finishing Mocke brothers with Jasper getting over 1 sec in front of Dawid.
