^^^^but 12'6 getting the coin in a ocean race because the elite/special crew could not get their bigger boards back in time...pfffftttttt does not matter how softly you tread,that is just rigged

pfffftttttt, up to you chrispychru..........just explain to me how it is rigged?
Instead of bagging something that is giving all SUP enthusiasts an opportunity to compete, have fun and enjoy what this side of the sport has to offer, support it and be part of something exciting. I wouldn't mind you offering a hand to help in the organisation of the race!

ok you are giving money to one board class only. and your reason for giving money to that said board class(which is superior in bop races only) is that the elite paddlers will not have their big boards delivered in time so will be on 12'6s yes? that is why i say its rigged

give money to all...or give the sup feeling to all

If you can help me find a financial sponsor to fund prize money I welcome you with open arms. Right now, you've done nothing but bag the race and organisers stating that this race is rigged.
If we had the funds to spread over all categories we would. And I do appreciate your comments but that is the decision we have made due to the budget we have to work with. And since the 12'6" size board is the most popular and competitive, this is where it lies.
We would rather you support this race and the sport instead of shovelling **** on us. So what category will you be in?

that is a load of bs buddy. even from last years race, i was loud and clear with my praise. change my words all you like,but you are still not right. i did not bag the race,just the reasons of why you are only giving money to the 12'6. i am pretty sure most of the elite could beat the average joe on their unlimited boards...or could they? i answered your question on why i think its the "prize money is not fair" so stop being a politician and bag me with some substance....pfffffft.

oh and if i can help you guys,well i am more than happy. even if its cleaning up after the race

Here's the forecast as of this morning. Flat water paddle Saturday compared with perfect Downwind conditions on Sunday. If this forecast holds, can the date be changed by 24 hours? Surely everyone who enters an ocean race wants to have good wind behind them? I wouldn't want to be a race organizer!

Yeah good question Flounder. I will be taking this in to consideration holding it off 24 hours, pending the forecast towards the end of the week. This will also need to be agreed from all of the confirmed competitors that have entered before a decision can be made.
As you said, it would be good to have some good wind behind you!

IMPORTANT UPDATE

“12 TOWERS OCEAN SUP RACE” 2013

Due to unfavourable forecasted dangerous ocean conditions, floating debris, water contamination and beach erosion, we will be postponing this year's event from this coming Saturday 2nd February to the following Saturday 9th February. We have been strongly advised by the Gold Coast City Council Life Guard Service to postpone the race which has helped in making this important decision.
Safety is our main priority at SUPSA and we won't risk or endanger participants in any organised SUPSA event.
For those who have made travel arrangements or have changed work obligations, the race organisers of the 12 Towers Ocean SUP Race sincerely apologise for the change but unfortunately we can't predict the weather.
We encourage all competitors to support our judgment and welcome your support on Saturday 9th February.

Cheers
Peasey
