A few photos from the comp at Palmy on the weekend. Insane surfing as usual. I am always in awe.
They are only from 1 or 2 heats as I was either judging or surfing.

Cool shots were there any results seen nothing and missed the day ??

Wow Marty stuck that .... That's pretty vert turn for a one foot wave hard to pull that one out well done

Here are the results from the final:
1. Kai Bates
2. Toby Cracknell
3. Chucky Domin
4. Harry Maskell
5. Steve Piper
6. Gareth Grant
The semis were like finals, especially the one the included Marty and TC.
The young guys were amazing in the small waves.
Thanks to the Naish guys (JB and Andy) for bringing the NISCO boards - so much fun.
For the record, Toby convincingly won the NISCO race - good luck in California Tobes.

Thanks for the run down Dave

Thanks Marty,
The bar has been set very high for the rest of the season.

Nice Pics S4S, wow Marty...thats about as vert as your gunna get! Thanks for a great day...Casso's club is in great hands.... but how good are the gromets surfing!!! Good luck to Kai, Toby and Beau in the USA. They are off to slay some bigger fish. Oh...and one more thing... I'm no sup racer but I highly recommend having a crack at the Nisco race boards if you get a chance, they are so much fun! thanks to JB and the Nash crew.......They aren't as easy to surf as some people make it look, but that just ad's to the fun factor.

Greats shots from a killer day. Well done to Marty handling the head judging role with ease. Some of those placements were hard to count back on hey. Chuck and Kissa too, well done. Not to mention Andre with providing some great food..

Things are looking great for season. It was good fun getting amongst with the groms. Harry rips.. Also good seeing the guys mixing it up with different boards as the waves were pretty small. TC on his log_sup was good to watch..

Looking forward to the next one. yewwww

Awesome photos and videos and this club rocks, Casso has done so much for us on the Northern Beaches, thanks mate.

Here is an idea? as boards get lighter and shorter and narrower lets keep in the flow with the demographic of the sport as well. Not all have the knees and back of a spiderman. So ,,, Lets have a 10.6 and over division even if it is a straight final and those who enter that cant go in the "short division". I know I have championed this for a while and rode protest contests on my 11.2 at times.

Its just that its cool and a cool feeling and I still get my 9.10 out when its pumping on the points. Ah yeah love that.

I am with Buffalo big boards are always in.

What do you think?

Can do a seperate thread if needed?

This is such a great pic (Jeremy). Well done Casso another fine job on the vid mate , you guys made the most of the small waves , good to see TC there.

A few more from a Great Day.

Hey Stu, I like the idea of a 10' + division but i'm not sure if there should be a limit who can surf in it?

You guys are making it look that good I'm going to have to look at getting one of those surf SUP things. Looks like a lot of fun!! Well done to my secret training buddy on a 3rd place.

Agree with Stu, Casso has done a lot for SUP on the Northern Beaches. Great that it's been handed over to someone who is just as keen. Sounds like I need to come up just to sample some of Andre's food.

Is there a "gumby" category?

Sorry mate, not allowed! You bag it out for as long as you did and you have a few more month on the side lines!
As you can see I head up the Gumby division!

Supa I know. It's just a long day for some and I do not mind it. I am thinking of getting through the day, not making it too longgggg. Thinking of all those with familys and those where that time on Sunday is a squeeze?

Also it has to,has to, IMO, be a 10.6 and over as 10 against an 11.6 etc still does not work . genuine buffalo class is the go :)
