I'd love to join in the fun but I'll be training with Manly LSC in the morning. I'll try and get there early and give you guys some support though.

^^^^ Great photo Jezza. National coverage - pretty cool.

Do I read that correctly - Richie Lovett??? If that is what the future the holds for SUP then look out!

Manly Festival was all time with all parts of Surfing getting coverage,
Noosa is going to be the best Sup Event going so get your entries in. Paddle race event is going to be interesting also with format change

I don't know how seriously he takes it, more of a side line thing I am guessing as he rides a big moulded board - chucks it around pretty good though.

Get any footage Casso? Dan's got no laptop at the moment.

well done Casso, and John. Conditions looked good on Sat. I got some fun little ones out the bower :)

Cool photos - who took them?

Matt was really throwing that little Simon Anderson Fiber Flex around. A deserving winner on the day.
