What are the rest of you old fossils going to ride 14 or 12 6 ?
Sounds like we have a choice

12'6" for me Noel

Good
I'm pretty sure me and stoksy will be on 12 6
But a 14 would be good for the 20 ks

12'6" for the technical race, 14' for the rest.

^^^^your ageless adonis. 50 yo and 50 a day i would need to be 20 years younger to keep up with you

Dylan- under 18 as of 31 December 2012 to qualify for the juniors.

As this is the first year that Surfing NSW has held SUP Race events, the decision was made to waive the Surfing NSW membership requirement for racing. This decision was not taken lightly, as it is normally required to be a member of Surfing NSW to enter any Surfing NSW sanctioned event.

Membership has been a requirement for the past SNSW SUP Surf events, and is the reason that entry fees for the Surfing are quite low- other SUP surfing events are over $100 to enter. This is listed under "condition" on the event page for the Surf entry.

Surfing NSW is a non-profit organisation so all money made is re-invested in to developing all surfing disciplines in our State.

Hope that clears things up a bit, our intensions with this event are to make it attractive to all SUP competitors of all levels, so any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Just wondering if membership to a reciprocal state branch of Surfing Australia (eg. Surfing Queensland or Surfing Victoria) is adequate for interstate competitors or whether we need to join Surfing NSW aswell?

Being a financial memeber of another state is adequate, so i should rephrase it as "You must be a financial member of a Surfing Australia affiliated state branch to enter the Surfing divisions"

Agree but a least you don't have to take a month off like for noosa!!

I believe, as of next year, in all State and National competitions ,there will be an over 50's division in all events, the Sport is coming of age in its recognition of all categories......

I agree Sparx, there needs to be more spots available to Vicco's, there is a pretty high standard down here in all styles of events and that should be acknowledged, there needs to be at every opportunity, pressure by all those interested, on all events organizers across the country to broaden the horizon as far as acceptance of the inevitable age's categories introductions.

Whilst the push for youth in the sport is a great positive, the demographic and maybe the growth area in the sport are the older categories, whilst the stereotypical sup paddler, bald fat blah,blah is now longer applicable with the average fitness level of the older participants forging ahead in leaps and bounds.

We Vicco's should put the boards on the roof and go north on a surf trip............... [been a while]

This event is getting closer, make sure you get your entries in...limited spots available!
