Entries being taken ??
I thought it was the Australian titles hence the need to qualify through state titles

What day & time is the surfing

I'm guessing that if there were any spare allocations to the surfing, then it would be done as a fair distribution to States other than QLD and NSW? It would be a shame to see that the numbers are weighted towards those States.

Hi Piros

the surfing has a three-day window - Thursday 7th–Saturday 9th - so a decision won't be made until closer to the event on which days and times etc to make the most of the conditions.

The BOP races will also be held during this window.

Surfing will probably be over two days of that 3-day window.

PFD required. Inflatable bumbag style acceptable.

thanks Woody not sure if you can fly with them maybe in cargo ok

From past job experience inflatable pfds arnt seen as a DG banned from flying with. probably don't wear it while boarding though. pilot might think your having a dig at him about your confidence in his ability to keep it in the air brother used to be issued one mandatory to wear in the chopper when flying to the offshore rigs.. ( said the thought "why we need these" tightened the cheeks every time)
I'd check with the airline still as it's been awhile since I used to load planes as a teenager

Yeah I'd be explaining to the nazi airport security knob that the plane already has 200 of them under the seats.

The website (australiansuptitles.com/) looks awesome and stoked to see the live scores feature.

Looks like the surf is going to be absolutely tiny and onshore out the Alley for the whole window. Better get the permits organised for D'Bah Surfing Australia!

Casso no one needed a crystal ball to know the surf report for this time of year at the alley its pretty predictable.
