Angie

The 5k race will have Ladies 12'6' /14 and sub 12' ( 2k) race

As far as the 12'6" BOP Race their will be a Ladies as well as Open division ( but Anyone can enter the Pro Division ) ...

The Ladies (at this time ) will only be racing for a trophy .. But a late sponsor may be coming on board and hopefully offering a major Prize for Ladies and Amateurs only .... Will confirm this prize tomorrow.

Angie and all Ladies for that matter I forgot to mention ..

The First Lady across the line for the Open BOP will get $100 ( as per our previous prize list ) If that lady wins the BOP then She will take the BOP Prize first place as well as $100 Ladies Prize .... Must make you all feel good about being a Female .

Also I can confirm an additional Prize draw for Male and female Amateurs who enter the Surf or River Race event will be eligible for a draw of a Board Prize donated from Illusions Noosa Heads ... will outline this by tomorrow .. To claim this fantastic prize you must (1) be an Amateur or a Lady No Pros (2) be present at the presentation on Sunday.

Hope your entering ... and as someone famous once said " get in the water .. its good for ya !"

Hey mate, Booked in and ready to rumble!
A big thanks to Sean for all the phone calls.
I'm doing the Amateur SUP surfing this year because it gives me more time to drive down Thursday morning and the level of the pro boys is becoming freakily hard to win a heat!
Also looking forward to Jacko's pro BOP race, the surf should be "BIG" on sunday which will help me keep up with Steve, Peasey and crew
Cheers Lyn for the updates and "I'll be seeing ya in the water"
Jonesy

Happy days Lyn, just seeing old faces is the big plus!

Jonesy, how can you be in the amateur SUP. You're surfing outa ya skin! Now I for that matter will be in the amateurs!

Luke I think your the last or very close to it .... But I wont have access to the email entries till tomorrow .... But Get it in ...

Cheers

Because I'm not a Pro! lol

The term 'professional' or 'pro' in sport relates to the earning of monies from that sport, hence the prizemoney for the 'pro' events and divisions.

What constitutes a pro? Do you have to have a certain level of skill to be at this level (time per km, level of surfing ability) or a certain amount of years of experience

The money one pays to spend time with one.

The Story of the day was to be played out off the water .. Roger Saunders AKA DJ Roj will spend the rest of the Open confined to the Beach announcers booth
... initially the other beach broadcasters enjoyed the SUP expertise DJ ROJ was to contribute .. but as the banter continued the dog came out of his kennel and the dialogue became typically "Doggish" .. Apart form this little blot on SUP, Longboard relations all in all it was a fantastic day .... Many Thanks to the Australian Longboard Open, Illusions Noosa and Roar industries for supporting SUP when they really didnt have to

Semis Saturday Ladies Amateur and Po FInals Sunday
also on SUnday the RACES both River and BOP.
Briefing at the Boat Ramp 11:15 Sharp the tide is going out the people on the beach want a show.
