It’s On !!!

The Chocolate Barrels Challenge is going to be run on the East Coast this Sunday 8th of June (most probably Red Bill Beach, Bicheno) as the swell window is coming to an end and Tama still isn’t breaking!! Thanks Huey!!!

Ok more details are going to be up in a day outlining the day.

It will be an early morning sign up, as we want to get it done before the southerly hits and we all have a heap of study to do….

A few crew will be heading down the night before, I would suggest this so that you don’t have to be up early driving in the dark to get there in time for the signup… You can stay at the Back packers or the caravan park at Bicheno, there is a good pub with cold beer and excellent counter meals. More details up tomoz night!!! Study hard crew


See ya soon!!
