The GF and I are thinking of heading down for the big event this year.....can someone please advise where the best place to camp is - we have a campervan which makes us pretty self sufficient but its always nice if there is a hot shower around - so a camping ground is fine by us. We would like to be close to the beach for ease of access. Any help would be most appreciated so we can book a spot early.

Also I came across this the other day and noted that the big fella from the yellow board company maybe coming - any truth to the rumours?



Thursday 25th - Sunday 28th November 2010

30th MAMBO MERIMBULA CLASSIC

The world's longest running, wave sailing competition

The Mambo Merimbula Classic, incorporating the Naish Sup Sessions, will be held from Thursday 25th to Sunday 28th November 2010.

It's the 30th annual event and the Merimbula Sailboard Club are expecting to see Wave sailors, Kite surfers and Sup surfers from around the world.

The club welcomes participants of all ages, and with all levels of experience, to join in the four days of action and fun, both on and off the water.



99% confirmed that some overseas visitors from past will be coming back. Robby Naish of Naish windsurfing kiting and now SUP fame coming over from Hawaii with Randy Naish.

That looks great. Thanks.

Guys, the actual competition runs everyday with SUP each morning. It is pretty 'freestyle' around that with missions each day to local breaks.

The Beach to Bar SUP off will be on the weekend and I am sure there will be plenty of DW's organised this year.

Its going to be HUGE! Definitely worth crossing the ditch!

Thought I'd drag out the vid from last year...

looking forward to it!! :)

Mambo is a smoking event,

Its the spirit of cooperation and good will that brings the vibe to it.

The BBQ food makes master chef creations look like romper room for cooks but you do need a Jenny Craig voucher and beef up the springs before you head home.

DJ I hope you have a couple of DW cooked up for this year!

Looks like there is a SUP fishing comp on too (more details to come).

As usual it will be demo board heaven

Couldnt recommend it enough!

Thanks John..

It'll be great to have Thomo back after a couple of no shows.. I wonder if he's learned to SUP?

I wonder if he will even get in the water, I think I only ever saw that happen once. Too busy getting pulled over by police on mopeds, go karting etc etc.

Wouldn't it be great to see Mark or Josh Angulo back at the Mambo.

Josh pulled the biggest jump I have ever seen on a windsurfer there many years ago in about 40 knots.

We are doing our very best to try and get the any of the Angulo boy's to come, Josh, Mark or Ed! They've just come back from Bali where they were testing the 2011 range of SUP's. Were hoping to have them with us at our Angulo Display. Hopefully we'll have an answer soon (fingers crossed).

Not long to go now, think there is a sizable Vicco crew coming up this year!

Just wondering how we will stack all these + 2 x 14'0 boards on the roof and still be able to speed thorough the drive throughs on the way?

Details, details
