yeah was plenty was so fun to watch the race they went in and out twice great effort by all especialy the women

he Dan whoa looks like Goatie was shreadin on the green machine.

yeah he surfs ok its really the board though

it's one thing to go surfing in stuff like that- you can your time etc. i know from our ins and outs training all that stuff goes out the window- you just got to go.

its hard to race and keep your surfing skills in there too.

and did i mention once in and out always seems enough.

hats off to all to race in those waves
cheers

those race shots are epic. I am super surprised there were no snapped race boards in those conditions. How many were in the race ?

There was heaps of closeouts but it was pretty typical one mile. Goatman was dodgy as. He goes alright for a old dude but definitely not a stand out

Bit harsh.Huge hacks. I thought he was one of the standouts.When everyone headed up to the point to find the easiest way out he just ploughed straight out through the mountains of whitewater.I've got a
couple of hundred shots to edit and I'll post them sometime soon.

My bad.. I thought he was on the green board.

Ha Ha that was Dan on the green board in our 1st round heat. I decided to use the Gun on the first day mainly for the paddle out which was ridiculous. The pics don't do any justice to the size or power.

What an incredible weekend - 6 foot on Sat, 4-5 foot on Sunday and offshore winds and blue sky both days!! The SUP crew are the world's friendliest

Hey was bloody hard on ya back hand with 6 foot close outs cheers for that Milko haha well im happy with my 7th placing anyway guess i will just have to practice more LOL

I am just ruffling ya feathers I live and surf at one mile. I say well done to all the competitors. They were very trying conditions and one mile can be a hard wave to read when its like that.. Sorry Dan but this is the best pic i got of you Locals call it " The walk of shame" LOL Bloody nice board though !

wow!!!! what a great weekend topped off with a massive VB hangover

yewwwwwwww

big thanks to all the crew that turned up to have a crack and those who sat back and watched

thanks to the crew that took the piccies .....i bet there are some great wipeout shots out there

for me the biggest highlight of the weekend other than winning 3 cartoons of beer (yewww) was watching the womens finals and witnessing terrene black pulling into some really solid pits and absolutely "charging" the sets of the day leaving the crew i was standing near looking at each other going WTF......

the bar has been raised ladies!!!!!!!!

the waves on saturday were epic!!!!!!!and it was great not having to pump the crap out of some tiny dribbly ripple all the way to the beach just to try and get a score....

although when i was getting slammed in the impact zone in the dying stages of the final and watched beau nixon catch that last wave that he ripped to shreds n scored 9.8 "that sort of sucked a bit" and took a little bit of the shine off things.... (que the violin solo and a box of tissues)

bring on next year bigger badder and uglier than ever!!!!!!

Is Beau from around the Taree area? If so I saw him surfing Saltwater Point about a month ago and it is no surprise that he took out the title, absolutely shredding.
