Hi guys and girls,
Just a few last minute details for all attending the 3km Port Phillip Cup and Social Paddle on Australia Day, 26th of January 2010, 10am start.
The prizepool now stands at $15,000 - a huge thanks to Sunlover Holidays who yesterday announced an extra $5,000 worth of holidays to be given away. Accommodation packages to Daydream Island and Hamilton Island (each worth $1,000) and heaps of other resorts and Islands in Queensland to be won - too many to mention! Most will be given away randomly!
Also, thanks to Wade Vauiter who is donating a paddle and some fantastic merchandise - check out his impressive website at www.paddlers.com.au. And learn about all of the exciting races the boys at Outlaw racing are organising in the next few months!
There was a recent post that interstate competitors will not be eligible for the prizes - this is not true! It is a charity event to raise money for the Life Saving Club and Earthcare - everyone who turns up can win! Even the best dressed participant in the theme of Australia Day will win an Oakley Sunglass and Merchandise Pack worth $500.
Also, the top 5 placegetters of both sexes will win some amazing prices (paddles, oakley sunnies, camera's, boardies etc)- maximum board length 12'6, with the winner of the race to receive $1,000 cash and 3 nights accommodation on Daydream Island. To answer a previous question regarding the event, anyone can paddle a longer board if they choose, however they will leave with the social paddle group about 5 minutes after the 12'6 class departs - they will go into the draw to win any of the random prizes which are on offer and cannot win any of the top 5 prizes reserved for the 12'6 class.
Don't forget the SeaBreeze 100 metre 4 person team sprint race (both sexes represented) and the Kahuna 50 metre individual sprint!! The Uli Board women's clinic should break a record for the most number of female suppers on the water!
The Oakley Board and Pet Race is going to be big - at least 4 dogs, a budgie, a pet slug, and a goldfish in a small tank have confirmed their appearance! Thanks to the respective owners, should be a very funny race!
$10 entry goes directly to charity! And support the SUPVIC boys by buying a snag and a drink on the day! We need to support these guys, they do a great job!
See you there!
