Just to let everyone know you don't need race board to enter this race , so if your half interested just grab a 12-0 and enter , I have also sponsored $1,000 in cash and prizes for the over 40's so us old fellas don't have to compete against whippets like Jacko

Can you lower that to 39 years mate.

Hope my 12'6'' Low Pressure BOP will be ready for da race getting shaped tomorrow glassed next week?

Scotty,can I paddle my 17 Naish in the 14 Open division or is it only 14 footers?.

G'day Piros
Will the Low Pressure BOP board be a Pig or will Lightning Strike. I never thought I'd give BOP a go (I'm to old for this) I'm more into Downwinding or just surfing

I sure it will rip Phil just sign up with the crusty's in the 40 +

if theres swell im thinking or riding my 12' glide it surfs better than the 14' im thinking the less i fall off the quicker ill be

question rob, does the over 40's include the women too
cheers

Yes mate so you can wear your dress seriously it does.

40+ is 14 and under , it's a separate race for the retired athletes who still have something to prove. you can still enter separately in the pro or amateur division but that's another race.

Cool start the girls with the guys, its so much fun.

Gonna be good fun day.

Come on girls it doesn't matter if you will only have a smaller board, it's all about getting involved and fun.

So..., im no Pro, but i have nothing smaller than a 12'6, so im going to assume i reg for the Pro section? Im happy to do that, i just thought id for warn you all, that you may have to sit around and wait for me to finish
Its all about the experiance right!
The whole "nut up or shut up" bizzo
'he he'... see you there!

Ultimately it's Scotty's call but to answer your questions there will be no drug testing, not that I think you need it Phil.

It will be bulk fun mate just get out there and enjoy it.

Sorry for delay in answering some of the questions posted here about the race guys, my wife delivered us a new baby boy last night, so been a bit otherwise occupied for last couple days, and haven't had a chance to check out the breeze.

Essentially, there is only one race, but with different categories to try to cater for all paddlers, as well as lap differentiation between Pro/Open and Amateur.

Amateur is for ANY paddler on a SURF (non race style) sup with length 12' or under. In Amateur category, there is no placing or prize differentiation between men or women. Amateurs must complete two full laps of the course to be eligible for prizes.

Pro is for ANY paddler on a 12'6" or under RACE style sup. Paddlers can enter Pro category on a SURF style sup 12'6" or less in length, but must complete the full three laps of the course. Pro category has separate placings and prizes for both men and women, plus the first paddler under 18yrs old (on the day of race) to complete the course.

Open is for ANY paddler on a sup OVER 12'6" and UNDER 14". Due to the format of the course and in consideration of the other categories, sups over 14' or with rudder systems, will not be included. No placing or prize differentiation between men or women in this category. Open paddlers must complete three full laps of the course.

Over 40's is open to paddlers 40years or older on the day of the race on ANY of the above category sups. Placings and prizes are at the discretion of Von Piros Productions. Open paddlers must complete three full laps of the course.

It would be great to see all paddlers start at the same time, but considering the difference in distance between Pro and Am (2laps vs 3laps), it is not necessary and could create problems.
