Huge thank you to all the volunteers who didnt compete but gave up their time and effort in blazing hot conditions to help out and ensure things ran smoothly. There were many people doing coast watch for the marathon race, marshalling for the Technical Race, slaving over BBQs assisting with judging, wives, friends, family, girl and boy friends who simply just helped out and made life easier. High fives all round cheers.

Thank you to the Water Safety Team for a huge effort yesterday and some long hot hours on the skis you were a critical component in the success.

Congrats to everyone who Surfed and Raced yesterday it was a mamouth effort in the heat by all competitors and to the guys and girls that backed up racing with surfing or in some cases raced surfed then raced again, you guys rock. I was only shooting images and I was shattered when I got home I dont know how you achieved what you achieved but I was sure impressed to see you do it!

SUP Vic, Bass SUP and Surf Vic did a ball breaking effort to get this event to work, dotted i's and crossed t's they didnt even know they had to until this event ran.

The sponsors Core Board Sports, Strapper, VB, Kahuna Street SUP, Hive Swimwear, Farm Foods etc the stand alone event would simply not have been possible without you.

Special mention to a great all round bloke Rich Bartle who gave up the whole day to help out a mate enough said.

Special thanks to Teeps for getting Kristi's board to the beach for the Tech Race and for everyone giving her a cheer when she finally hit the beach, she hit the wall in the heat but just didnt want to give up.
