Ill be secretly upset if you guys get waves like two yrs ago. That was the best event Ive been at for waves both shortbaording and for sup. TSJ...You make sure DOGMAN stays in the Laguna Bay tent this year and sell's sup/s. And dogman YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RIDE MY NEW LAGUNA SUP under any circumstances..which will be on display at the LAGUNA tent.

Just got an email from the organizers - women's sup surf round 1 is now at 8:20am on Sunday morning. If any girls were planning to head up later on Sunday, make sure you get there early now!

as a "never have competed person" how does the information flow? IF you have registured, do they email you with updates and changes? Or is it up to you to keep checking in, just incase something changes?

I havent been paying to much attention, but have the organisers posted a thread here with all the details, or has the info just been coming from helpful competitors? Im not saying SB is the be all and end all of importance. But it would seem a logical place for event organisers to post info, as some people wont register unitll the last minute etc. Or do alot of events rely on wastebook to get info out?

maybe SB should have a comp sub forum, so comp threads can be posted and updated and not lost in the normal dribble.

I'm pretty sure they would have emailed all entrants (well at least all the girls it affected) with the change. Just thought I'd post here as well, incase anyone wanted to come and watch and also incase any competitor hasn't checked their email yet.

Apparently the full program and heat draws will be released today.

Thanks Ali. Like I said, never done it so no idea. I just get the feeling that info for these things in general is a bit thin and seems to come out close to the event date.

Totally agree, in an ideal world, it would be great if the organisers of every event got on here and updated details whenever something changed!

For standalone SUP events within Australia it would be well worth the organisers of each event getting on here as it's the best place to get information out to the SUP community. If the interest is there, maybe a separate section of the SUP forum for events would work, with links from the calendar section to the forum discussion for each competition?

But, we also need to remember for a comp like Noosa, where SUP is only a small part of the whole event, the organisers can't really be expected to get on every forum (I'm guessing there's possibly multiple forums in different places for mals, old mals, alias/finless etc...) every time there's a change to the schedule. They have a pretty good website for Noosa with most of the details on it (except maybe a course for the race) and as it's been running a long time, they can probably rely on interested parties going and looking for the information.

Ok so I might be being a bit picky here, the progression is the same as last year and I know it can't change this year, but it seems a bit unfair that the men get 11 heats in total for 24 guys and everyone gets to surf at least twice, yet the girls only get 3 heats for 12 girls and if you don't place in Round 1, you're out. (It's the same for any of the other surfing divisions limited to 12 places too.)

Good point Ali & Phil tough call you should have a second round. Noosa is time poor that's why I assume they cut the over 45's even though it was full last year with a massive waiting list. There are 24 in the mens (1 spot) , 12 in the womens (full) and another 20 in the racing this will increase probably by 10 , that's 66 competitors plus if they let in the over 45's there's another 24 plus raise the cap on the womens at least another 6 .There could be almost 100 sup entrants in this event if they wanted it and it is still teated like a sideshow even though it would bring in around $10,000 in entry fees.
