I just wanted to show my appreciation of the fact that Ian/Auswind has been doing a sterling job with his sup demo tour.

Having initially made the trip from Perth to Merimbula for the Corona Classic, he's continued to demo up and down the East Coast, then across to Tassie, then back to the mainland, more Vicco demo's, back across west to SA, etc, etc.

He's worked tirelessly to not only give Starboard a push, but to also really get amongst it and promote Sup in general.

I was lucky enough to have a few days away last week when he was at Phillip Island and whilst there hasn't been much swell recently, the demo at Shelly Beach allowed me to catch a few waves, paddle with my wife, kids, nephew and brother and also chat to a few customers on and off the water. [ A nice change to chatting in the store].

I hope a few of you out there have also taken advantage of the tour van when it's
been in your area. [ Or will, when it comes to a town near you.]

A few snaps from the day.

A top idea, good on you Ian.
I went along to the Parkdale demo, and emailed the SUP demo tour, if we could have a go at Pines / Shoreham, unfortunately the swell was a whole 4 - 8 cms. Rode every board, so did my 7 yr old son, decided on the 9 x 33" hero, which I got thru Warwick. I never would have thought I could turn a 33" board on a wave, but have ridden Cat bay and Sandy Point this week, and am very happy with my purchase. It does get a little skatey on the wave face probarly due to the width, but adds to the fun. Now a suitable board for my son is next.
Also after using the Starboard carbon paddle, I had to have one. I recommend to everyone to get down and have a go when the Demo is in town.

Great pictures Warwick.. It looks like a great day.. Was that Cat bay??.. Did you paddle over to Left Point?

Hey DJ,
That was Cat Bay/Shelley Bch. Both the left and right are awesome on their day. Left point wasn't on that day.
I'm over at Robe for the week. Sup paradise!
See you back in Melb next week for the Sup Cup!
