Looks like we have about 12 sup teams so far. Will start the paddle boards and sups, off together. It's going to be great.

Should be a good race, I've seen heaps of people out there training. Lets hope we get the wind to play with some strong S'lys blowing. I know me and bend over will have to do a lot of paddling in the next week or so just so well be fit enough to make it.
Hey sue did you get an answer on that 3 girl team question cause it would be some thing to work on for next year if not this year, i know angie is keen to get in to some racing and after today's paddle it looks like I'll have to find a big board for her as well.

I know one team that is going with two but I think they are young care free ladies that don't have kids to look after.

You mean they are much younger and fitter than us...kids has nothing to do with it when you're finally on the water racing after making the lunches, meeting the babysitter, dealing with the tears and changing the last minute nappy

Hi Sue,


I think that teams of 3 females are ok and prob a good idea until the females can reach the same level as the guys.
I didn't think i would like distance paddling even thou i've been doing fitness classes on sups. I gave the distance thingy a good go this morning on a dc16 and I've got to admit, i actually really enjoyed it.
Gonna head out for it again tomorrow morning.

Good on ya girls, get out there!......Stuey
