Well done mate , is the Long distance race on tonight?

SUP Racer has Eric Terrien as 5th in the world and is inviting discussion over who is 6th at present. I'd say Jake has just shown that he, Jacko, Kelly, Beau, Lincoln, Sam and probably a few others from Australia have a decent claim on 5th spot, more so than the Frenchman.

Dose anybody know what board Kai was using?

Kai was on a 'Limited Edition' Javelin 12'6, Jakey was on the Hollow MC production shape. Here's some pics from Jake, he's not sure whether the board will go into production or not:

My feeling is there will be some moving around in the whole top 6 this year as i know all the boys have steped it up lately and are set for a huge year!!

A 24" wide MC board? That thing must weigh 7kg at most.

Here is how it went down,

Is it just me or does the limited edition look about a foot longer?
In the first photo .
Congrats jake well done

Did a bit of a summary of the new board: www.supracer.com/naish-javelin-le-12-6-race-board/

Basics: 15% narrower and 23% less volume than the current 12'6" shape.

The hollow core 12'6" (the other board in those photos, which isn't even in stores itself yet), is going to be less than 9kgs, so this new one should be super light.

...and to get this thread back on topic: Awesome result in Chicago for Jakey. Hopefully he can beat Ryan Helm (how'd you let a Mexican beat you?!) in the Long Distance today and take Top 3 overall.

Down to 4 degrees Celcuis this morn and still 20 paddlers at training.
Thats cold for Gold Coasters. Melbourners would probabably be sweating.

Now we are starting to get more girls than guys, so look out on the international scene as the ladies start to bring home the bacon....
