I thought I might give a heads up to an exhibition SUP comp on this Sat at Manly beach. It is part of the Manly Festival of Surfing and features people like Tom Carroll, Richey Lovet, Bruce Raymond, Casso and Appsy!

The comp starts about 8am Sat and finishes by 11.30 and should be good for a sticky beak - hopefully AA will take some video - hint hint . There is also a Race that is open to anybody.

is the comp just invitational ? race would be fun though

Dan will need a few of his 'signature moves' against Tommy Carroll

Gonna be a blast!

Good luck Goaty,... fly the LB flag

sure... is SUP allowed? but just checked freshy and curly... looked pretty dismal!

too early for me this work thing is so over rated!

Tonight (Thursday) - 5:00pm paddle out with all the Manly celebrities and 8:00pm night surfing expression session. Anyone keen to join me for either?

would have loved to head out for a paddle but alas they are the crazy hours on hillside
