Across the Bay in a Day

Why ride around the Bay, when you can paddle across it? Following the success of 2011's inaugural social Across the Bay paddle, the team at Outlaw have decided to make this an annual event on our Ocean Series calendar, and will hold the first official timed race from Mordialloc to Portarlington (weather dependant) on Sunday March 25th, 2012.

The Go Natural Ocean Series comprises four thrilling downwind paddling races at stunning locations along the Victorian coast. Races range from short, but sharp, six-kilometre hit-outs for beginners, SUP paddlers and paddleboarders, to epic 20-plus kilometre open ocean marathons for the daring ski and outrigger guys and gals.

The marquee event of the series is the 25-kilometre Graeme Long Memorial Race, from Urquhart's Bluff to Torquay, taking in the the iconic towering cliffs of Bell's Beach and Winkipop. This event attracts some of the best ocean paddlers in the country, so be prepared to paddle your heart out.
