Hiya carol, over at rosebay the OZSUP crew have social races every Wednesday evening and Saturday mornings and we also do paddle training sessions in Tuesday mornings and Friday mornings. There are all ability levels at any of the aforementioned events and its heaps of fun!!
Enjoy your paddling!! 😀

Hey Carol, I am not sure if someone had mentioned it before but wind surf and snow at Long Reef is a good point of reference for what happening on the northern beaches in the SUP side of things. Sam, Anne, Chris and the guys down there are awesome... A mate's wife Dianne Morrison has a good crew of girls that go paddling too....hope it helps..

Hi Carol, welcome to Seabreeze!

Sounds like you paddle around some of our favourite spots.

We are having a social Twilight paddle this Friday around the Manly area from 5.30pm if you want to catch up with our paddling crew.

Conditions look superb for a coastal crawl around the harbour side.

PM me if you want more info. I will be posting details shortly.

Hey everyone,
The social paddle will be on at Little Manly at 5:30pm today.
If you are keen on joining us please call Balmoral Paddle Surf 99058826 for more info.

Hi Carol,
It appears I am also on the same boat! I started supping about 6 weeks ago and totally addicted to it. Been doing the mileage on the flat at Narra lake and around the harbour, Little Manly and Manly but been feeling a little lonely out there lately. I'm also keen to do some camping/supping trips on the weekends. Keen to get into the surf and quite possible get into racing as well in the future, but for now just cruising and getting the skills and fitness up. So if you'd like to catch up, let me know.

Cheers,
Cecile

Hi Carol I am new to stand up and also happen to be a Manly Sea Eagles tragic so it just may be worth the drive down your way for a paddle. AA's get together sounds good for next time.
Cheers BP.

Never laughed so much reading all these replies and comments........

Hope your enjoying SUP Carol.

Me too colvinc! I laughed a lot when I've opened and saw all these replies! Was not expecting it!

Was a bit scared at first actually, but they all seem to be nice guys. It was a funny welcoming, hahaha...

I am enjoying colvinc, thank you - addicted, I'd better say! I've finally found my lifetime sport!

Cheers,

Carol

Hi Carol!

I'm a beginner too (currently hiring equipment from Manly wharf) but looking to get my confidence and experience up. Which side do you prefer, harbour or surf? I'm trying to get my courage together to go back to the surf side after all these shark sightings but a partner would be great reason to go! I think I'll join the twilight paddle tonight if you're around I'll see you there!

Hi sim22, thanks for replying, glad we find each other!

At the moment, I prefer harbour for obvious reasons (hahaha), but would love to go to the surf side too, as soon as I get enough confidence and proper skills!

I confess I've been really scared about the shark attacks too, I try to not think too much about it, but always ended up looking around in case I spot one of the "cuties" when I'm paddling lol

Could you please reply me with some details about this twilight paddle (where, when, time...)? I haven't heard about this one yet...

Will PM you my number.

Cheers,

Carol

I just choked on my coffee doing a LOL..

How funny!

Sorry you missed it guys! It really was a magic paddle last night!
It was all a bit last minute but there was 7 of us eventually. It was pretty windy getting around the point but once in the bays it was nice and protected and some of us paddled till the sunset.

That whole area over that side is a favourite, catching the suns rays till the very last minute!



Sounds like a few of you guys will be flying interstate to get here for the next one so we will give you a bit more notice!

With this weather we are having maybe if we can get better organised we will try again next week!

We certainly did! Wasn't it on Friday?
Fridays are difficult for me, even being at the end of the day. If you ever plan one on Saturday or Sunday, I'm in!! ;)

Aah, Scotty, secret little cove around our way. Come over but we will blindfold you (for your wife's sake)!

Hey Carol, yep it was Friday. I posted late last night so it looked like today.
Our next event is a DEMO at Narrabeen Lake on Sunday January 13th from 7.30am. We get learners starting out and lots of paddlers coming down and trying new boards. Great way to meet the crew on the Northern beaches!

Thanks Andrew! I'll be there for sure! See you next Sunday!

Hello! I am new to Seabreeze too and wouldn't mind meeting up with other folks who like to SUP.
I have been doing SUP for a bit over a year and go paddling on the lower North shore (Neutral Bay, Sirius Cove, Mosman Bay) for flat water paddling with my hubby. We like to go to Palm beach also and are trying catching mini waves (though I'm only able to catch tiddlers at the moment, probably have bigger waves in the bath)
It would be great to meet other SUP-ers... send me a PM if you fancy meeting up for a paddle.

PS I also have the biggest, rubbishest board in NSW, possibly the world. She's called Big Bertha and is about the size of a caravan but I can't bring myself to upgrade her yet because we have had so much fun together... just a warning in case you don't want to be seen with someone who is super un-cool!

Ok Narrabeen Lake on Sunday it is! My first time on the lake, where should I go? Does it get windy there at all? Got totally stranded on the weekend on Manly harbour.... the Manly Kayak boat may or may not have come to my rescue.....
