After our little 3 person event last week and some interest since, at the last moment (last night) after confirming it was going to be a s**t day at the beach (again) we informally organised a meeting for 6.30am in The Royal National Park and 8 stoked SUP'pers came along for the ride.

Sorry to those who'd mentioned they'd like to get involved after last weeks post, logistically we couldn't get online in time but it's was very much just some friends rolling along today BUT the upshot is the interest down this way !

So, we're looking at another get together as early as next Sunday and we'll be sure to post some details on Seabreeze for any 'breezers who want to get into it.

Meantime, rather than clogging up the forum with images, we've created a Blog with some info on who we are, what we are about and a place to put our photo's from our get togethers.

Check it out at; http://southernsydneysuppers.wordpress.com/

If anyone wants to get involved either socially or even an image and link to an advertising page, let us know, happy to assist as help breeds help !

Cheers, Chris.

is Bonnyvale to Gunnamatta still the plan guys..?

I have been double booked with family arrangements, so I will have to take a raincheck on this paddle. I would rather be paddling with the crew anyday.

spewin' Sunday is cancelled I was fired up ....although now looking forward to the next one - both those dates look ok to me at this stage.

Date: Saturday 30th January 2010

Time: 6.30am

Where: Audley in the Royal National Park Loftus thru to Swallow Rock Reserve Grays Point and onto Danger Point in Port Hacking - approximately 8km round trip.

Directions: From Loftus just south of Sutherland, turn into the 'Royal National Park' from the Princes Highway into Sir Bertram Stephens Drive, past the pay station (which will be closed), wind your way down the gully for about 2km and turn left as you approach the weir into a constructed car park area.

Our meeting point is at the top car park so stay to the left past the toilet block and not into the lower car park to your right. Follow the gravel round over a crest for around 200m and it's right in front of you. Look for the SUP's !!

See you there - should be another fun paddle and remember it's a cruise, not a race so if your confidence is not high, there is no pressure other than to enjoy the beautiful surrounds and laugh at ourselves and our luck.

What do you call a group of SUPers?
A pod of paddlers?
A school of supers
Flock is a bit lame

my forecast for Saturday is high 20's with the chance of an afternoon thunderstorm.

I believe we are also leaving from either the fisheries or Burraneer Bay and paddling over to Bonny Vale. We should be in the water by 6.30am giving us plenty of time to get over the Hacking.

being Kiwi I'm accustomed to the rain! awesome see you all there on Sat!

Hi Guys, the next paddle session has been organised for Sunday 28th February. We are meeting at Greenhills car park at Cronulla at 6.30am for an early wave. Should be a heap of fun, so hopefully a few extra heads will be able to make it along !

The SUP'ers around the southern beaches are a tough crowd to get moving, but hopefully we will have some new faces this Saturday. We are heading into The Shire's Port Hacking from the baths at Lilli Pilli Point at the end of Lilli Pilli Point Road.

Hope to see you there...
