Thanks would love to see you next year. This time we were the only two Stand Up.

We made quite a stir turning up with this new gear and there were many doubting we would make it.

What type of conditions did you have to paddle in, any water current or tricky spots for the SUP.

Clarky i have done the ski race many times on the Hawkesbury , paddling for 17 hours they must have hit 3 tide changes and it meanders like any natural river so there must have been some very tough times/currents against the tide , all that aside these boys did a huge effort.

I reckon we support this race next year and give this race some legs. Are you in on the EJACKULATOR 18 ?

Hi Guys I had three tides you are right.

And I hit some tough patches pain wise. I was definately not tired at the end.

Great question the Training one. Stay posted for my new web site suplove.com, love your core. Ther will be an article there under training. In the mean time I need to tell you I did alot of mental and emotional training as well as physical, Stay tuned guys.

Im coach surfing, Sup, sports psychology and waterman clinics full time and want to share the good stuff.

I paddled a 14' carbon xp vortice and will be open to paddling something different next time.

This is a training photo taken earlier this year.



To tell you the truth I look forward to your company next year.

I want to bring the best of sup to the world so will be an event calender on suplove.

I will post my field report in seabreeze Stand up news next week.

Training sure looks like fun. I hope I don't get fired from work for looking at your website: www.suplove.com.au - sounds like a fetish site.

I look forward to reading about your training and adventures down the track.
