George Bass crews row hard for Moruya

Surf ski contestants were the first to leave Batemans Bay at 9.30am, heading to Moruya on the first leg of the seven-day, seven-leg event.

They were followed by male and female surfboat crews in open and masters categories.

They expect to arrive in Eden a week from today.

The first contestants were expected across the finish line of the first leg at Moruya mid-morning.

More details as they come to hand.
