This year SUP at the Whalebone will take on a different perspective, in years gone by there has been a point-to-point race, however this year the organisers have approached us as to what we would like to do. So this year running off the success of the recent BOP races at Denmark and Avalon for the State Rounds there will be a series of BOP races run on the Sunday (14th July) of the Whalebone. The course will be set up on the day dependant on conditions, however given the location there will most likely be a series of 3 short course races, so you can race 1,2 or all 3 depending on how you feel.

Entry forms can be downloaded here:
www.grrinninbear.com.au/whalebone/pdf/wbc2013_entry_form.pdf
or picked up from Stand Up Surf Shop in North Fremantle.

Although the entry forms state 12'6 as the board class, entry is open to anyone and everyone and depending on numbers of entries we may then create divisions.

There are always food and coffee vans at the contest site and with the raised vantage point will make for excellent viewing so bring the whole family down.

So we've entered... should be a laugh!
Do we need to register on Friday afternoon or will it be ok to rock up Sunday morning?

No need to check in on Friday just on Sunday morning.

The organisers have cleared a spot for us in between finals at 10:30, so registration will be at 10 with a 10:30 start for the first race.

If you haven't got you entries in it is not too late, you can still enter on the day. Conditions will determine the course.

Bo and I enjoyed watching you guys battle it out in what were obviously at times very exhausting and difficult conditions. A great effort by all involved and a great event for spectators..thrills and spills.

So who won?

The highlight was BT coming down the face of a wave with his DC fully submerged and making it.
