Hard to believe out of 17 events there isn't one here....

Specially when we had some quality races like the 12 towers

Yeah it's a big hole for sure. They tried to get three different events up for this year (Noosa, Sydney, Perth) but logistics got in the way from the sounds of it.

Though there's already at least one Aus event confirmed for the 2013 season, and they'll probably add a couple more to the list before then.

It just beggars belief that they could work out the logistics in Fiji and the Phillippines but not Australia. Given that the Waterman's League is notoriously "loose" with event organisation, I'm thinking the reason Australia doesn't have a race is that no promoter in this country was prepared to back an event and lock in a 2012 date without our usual level of professionalism that we bring to pretty much everything we do in sport. Other countries are perhaps not so concerned about making sure they can do all that's required in the short lead time. When they eventually do make it to Australia in 2013, no doubt they'll be blown away by our event and they will soon learn how these things are supposed to be done. Hope that doesn't sound too negative towards the series, I'm sure it will be terrific, but honestly, there's just no way we are that far behind the world.

I'm guessing Al Hunter there's no company in Australia willing to put up the money these events are not cheap

We also hope to see a strong Aussie presence in the Philippines - it is going to be a pretty epic event! and it is not too far....

Hi WLeague, welcome to the breeze.
Just wondering if you have a breakdown of the prize money yet and what's in it for the girls?

Im interested to see how many from the Philippines enter.

All sounds good but i've done a bit of research on getting there.

U can get your race board to manilla on Singapore airlines but there is no way to get it on the 35 min domestic flight to the Naga Airport nearest to Camsur Waterpark.

So there goes that option, unless u drive it there from manilla.

So looks very hard to get your boards there, which suxs for us aussie's.

Philippine Airlines won't take any thing longer then 277cm.

Unless the organisers have some pull with Philippine Airlines?

All sounds very exciting for the future of SUP. Lets hope travel wont be a problem for those BIG Boards

If you've got the money say someone like Richard Branson he could buy an Air Australia plane at the right price and re call it Virgin Surf Cargo, make it a half cargo half passenger plane that takes SUP's Surfboards 20 feet or less problem solved.

Have Virgin Surf Cargo bast out of Coolangatta Airport for us Gold Coasters

Tuesday - Coolangatta - Brazil return
Wednesday - Coolangatta - Honolulu return

Thanks for the reply. Fuel is on pay tv, as in it costs money to view it. Beggers cant be choosers as they say.

Yep, well done Great Organisation = The best of Races
