My first time attending an Aussie Titles for the marathon, tricky conditions but good fun, all the elements thrown in for the race, down wind, up wind, flat water. Great vibe on the beach before and after the race. I reckon Surfing Aus put on a good event. My only dig is the timing of the event. made it very very hard for those elite guys that just got off a plane from the U.S and holding the whole event during the week makes it hard for many to attend. a Thurs to sun or Fri to Mon would be ideal for punters.
Talking to the boys who did the BOP most said it was one of the hardest BOP racers they have ever done. for the surfing it looked small but from the photos they all ripped! Off to WA for the event next year, I am sure WA will put on a cracker event, SUP seems to be blowing up over there big time!
