The term Bus down wind (or Bus DW) is used in the context of surfski downwind events. In a surfski down wind event a group of paddlers gather to paddle/surf down wind from point a to point b. The group is logistically challenged by getting by car to the start of the event (point a) and yet have enough cars waiting at the finish line (point b) to be able to bring at least one driver per car left at point a back to point b. A Bus down wind refers to a logistical set-up of a single paddler down wind event. The paddler drives to point a, drops the surfski, drives to point b, leaves the car, goes back to point a by bus, performs the down wind run to point b, loads the ski on the car and goes back home.
I've planned a bus down wind for tomorrow morning
