If anyone has any questions dont hesitate to call Matt on 0407275573 or email matt@starsurf.com.au

Sounds like you guys have everything sorted Matt. Just be careful how well you do it otherwise we all might be hitting you up to organise more events!

Training? What's that? Isn't the point just to let the wind and waves blow you along?

Great to see such good interest in the race down here in Mandurah, I'm looking forward to doing my first SUP race.

Don't forget there is another SUP race next weekend in Mandurah as well the details can be found here - www.mandurahoceanclub.com.au/

What a great race held by the Star surf shop of Mandurah. The guys did a great job. They had plenty of support vessels and made sure everyone was right.
The course was great with plenty of runners on offer and a fairly consistent 15kn breeze at our backs. The last km was an effort as the breeze was channelling along the river and you had to paddle directly into it. There were 14 paddlers all up.
Scot McKercher(STB) won with Mick Galvin(DC) second. Supbelly(JL) came third with a huge effort in his first ever race.
Once again a big thanks to everyone who organised and volunteered their time to make this event happen.
Cheers

Thanks to Matt and everyone involved in the " Skyes the Limit" Paddle board event.
A very well run event.
I will be definately entering again next year.
Congrats to SupBelly for a great first time Downwinder.
A big thankyou to Jenkz wonderful wife for lugging some of my and Belly's gear back to the car and surf4fun for dropping my board cover off at the finish line

A big thanks to everyone who was involved in organiseing a running the event.. It was ran exceptionly well and I had an absoulte ball..

The only thing i could fault with the race was it not being timed.. Would have loved to know how fast we did it in.. But being the first one they organised they did really well i thought..

Like Stewie said Jenkz thanks again for the lifts back to the car and your wife lugging my gear back..

It was really good to meet everyone and i cant wait for next weekend..Hopefully like Reagan said NO head wind..
