Australia's World Class Downwind Run The Stand Up Surf Shop King of The Cut (KOTC) is held along the beautiful Peel Coastline where the famed, powerful and consistent West Coast sea breeze blows perfect, un-interrupted runners like an endless conveyor belt. The 2021 edition of the Australian Downwind Championship the King of The Cut is in its 10th year and is again presented by SUPWA and the event’s long-time sponsor, the Stand Up Surf Shop in North Fremantle.Like most events this year, we have been affected by COVID and the limitations with runing an international event.

Registration and Finish at Secret Harbour - This year we will have registration at Secret Harbour where we finish. The presentations will also be at Secret Harbour Surf Club. 3.
