Hay mate

The races on this weekend can you enter on the day?
I just got off crutches and will know for sure tmoz if I can paddle but will not be able to run very far will there be any running at start of Finnish?
If So how far ? I know there will be some sort of beach Finnish which won't be a problem it's just if it's going to be a long run say 500 meters I might be in trouble

Answer:
Yes you can enter on the day mate. The course is pretty close to shore and we have 2 safety boats on water and about 8 qualified first aiders at the event. One of the safety boats will be travelling with the pack during the race, so anytime anyone needs assiatance, it is right at hand. We anticipate most people should complete the downwinder event between an hour and an hour and a half max. If there are any competitors still on course at the end of the second hour, when the race is officially declared ended, they will be assisted back to shore by the safety boat.

Race is beach start and beach finish, right off the water's edge. So it will not be a long run.

Hope to see you on the weekend! If you leg is not good enough, do come down to support the event or lend us a hand!

quick question any prizes for senior men 14' and over

cheers

Its all about the money Laceygo get them mate

haha, i'm still looking for the money to replace my sunnies from last saturday

My monies on Lacey to machine

Regardless of who's name is on the event, what divisions and what prize money, the most important thing here is another SUP event promoting the sport. I'd be there if I wasn't working and I encourage anyone that can make it to do so. At the moment SUP is being tagged along with a lot of sports/organisations (Australian Outrigging titles, Surfing Australia titles, Pacific Ocean Series etc), but at the end of all this the SUP community will win and that is what is most important. As Teatree said "let them fight it out" beacuse unless we all agree with what they do for the SUP community they won't be worth anything. It's early days in our sport and for all the organisation when it comes to their relationship with SUP.

imo, any stand alone sup race event should be well supported

The issue at hand is the naming rights not the comp in general.
Braced for a bashing

Thanks to ASI, SUPA, Hive and all the volunteers, especially Paddy and Tanya for a very well run event. Briefings and organization were professional and I look forward to competing there again. Sandgate is a good middle point for both coasts and the chop and conditions can make for a challenge.
Thanks.

Sounds like a good day
Are you still running the 6 k race tmoz and the 1500? Might come up for a look if it's on

Thanks to SUPA and Brisbane SUP Club for a very well run event, the first race event they have run. Hopefully the numbers will grow for the next one.

Awesome that you came along and gave your first race a go Matt!!!

Without trying to hijack this thread, if you or anyone else keen for some more races, SUPSA on the Gold Coast will be hosting some exciting events throughout the year (see www.supsa.org) that will be catering for paddlers of all levels and experience.

It would be great to see plenty of crew from the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Nth NSW based clubs supporting the events run by each of the other clubs throughout the year - it can only help to improve your own paddling and grow the sport for everyone.

There's already plenty of inter-club rivalry between the Gold and Sunshine Coasts so it would be great to see the growth of a strong group in Brisbane too.

Another great result Ali, one of our accomplished women from the Roar/Quantum Paddling Group. the cross-training is woking.
