Course: Tough tough. Major Hills and very tight technical course. Out and back with very tight corners made it a tad dangerous at times. Slower waves started first making a lot of passing also dangerous at times. Some had to walk up hills (I stay on) and passing people at 40 mph down the hills made a nerve racking descent.
