- Wetsuits are allowed in both the short and long course swims. No other swim aids will be permitted.
- Personal Floating Devices (PFD's / "lifejackets") are compulsory for the Ocean Paddle event
- No decals - other than those supplied for the ORS, the manufacturer decals and CSA numbers - may appear on the front of the Surf Ski's from the position of the pedals without written permission from the ORS organisers.
- All participants must report to the registration gazebo on race day to enter for their particular event on the day and to receive their race wrist band.
- Race day entries are open from 07h30 to 08h50 on Race Days.
- All finishers will be eligible for lucky draw prizes.
- Prize winners must be present to claim their prize.
- The onus is on the participant to check the results and to ensure that any problems are reported before the following race. No corrections will be made after this time.
