Hi
Was going to enter online but I just wanted to have something clear
For the category over 40 SUP (10 km saturday or BOP sunday) we just take the board we want? there is not size category? not a problem , just asking.
The last line of the menu is Sunday BOP over 40. This line already exist a bit further up in the menu so I did not know if something had been missed.
Thanks

i've been talking to a few guys about the 40 and over bracket.

i reckon 45 and over is a better way.

from my experience and talking around, physically things start to drop of at about 45 and on. now if you are on the wrong side of 45 and a newbie to the 40 year old bracket/caper comes along- thats a big difference physically wise damit

just a thought
cheers

ps over to you mac- i know you will

no clue who that is but anyways? will we all race together and then what you come in your division is at the prezo? cause if theres only like 5 under 18s it would be a waste of time and effort...

jake jensen placed in top five excel race, won the brunswick race, did well at the elite mens bop in hawaii and won his class in a distance race there too.

all that with about 3 months sup paddling behind him.

if you are in the scotts heads race you will see him briefly are the start

Hope the event is a success ODSUP & good luck to all the competitors! I think certain competitors should be handicapped eg -15min start or maybe lead weights attached to their boards or paddles, but seriously hope you all have a good time and look forward to the report. Cheers

Got in yesterday arvo in time to surf the point on the new 12'6, super fun point peelers, offshore conditions, dinner and beers at the bowls club, won two meat trays for the bbq this arv. Conditions look good for the downwinder an amazing coast to paddle up, awesome vibe around the caravan park, the weather is great this place is paradise!! Hopefully plenty of people make the effort to support this event, I'm sure everyone that does will be stoked

Well done OD..Scotts head is a great venue, great weather and a nice vibe.....good to see support from leading distributers.

Even though I only managed to be there to watch Saturday it has reinspired me to haul my fat ass back out on the water after a 2 year break with back problems....

OD...will you be doing it again next year?? I certainly hope so!!

Thanks Coreban and Surfrod for the photos,,

how good is Scott's Head. Taking the family next year and staying a week for sure. Awesome locals made the event a success (Jason and the surf club crew). And from a beginners point of view everybody competing was super encouraging.

just spewin that the fishing club stopped the dance comp on saturday night at the bowlo cause it would of been a cracka!
