LATE NEWS .. It has been decided by the "Surf Gods" that the Amateur SUP will have 6 man heat semis ... The Pro will still have 4 person heats
so the paddles have been contacted and the Semis are loaded.

TIME: 3:20 Saturday (Daylight Saving Time)

HEAT 1
Red: Paul Jones
White: Scott Downing
Yellow: Chris Newling
Blue: Daryl Keirnan
Green: Scott Penwarn
Black: Thomas Litzmer

HEAT 2
Red: Michael Stokes
White: Simon Hunnybun
Yellow Gordon Kilby
Blue: Anthony Smith
Green: Tatsumi Kawai
Black: Mark Hatfield

THE PRO SUP WILL HAVE 4 PERSON HEATS

If anyone knows Mark Hatfield or Thomas Liztner can you remind them to check their emails they have been granted a pass through to the Amateur Semis on Saturdays afternoon ( check the website for times ) .. As I write this they have yet to confirmed they are available ...

Reminder All Amateurs and Women who entered in any event in the SUP ( thats SURF OR RACE ) You are eligible for the special prize draw of the Illusions Noosa Cruiser SUP and special prizes from Roar Industries ( I think its a QB paddle ) And I will say it again "to be eligible for these spot prizes,you must be present at the Trophy Ceremony Sunday Afternoon" .. If your not there its a re-draw and we all know what fun a re-draw is ! The trophies are good enough, the goodies bags are packed with SUP stuff and the Special draw from Our Sponsor Illusions Noosa Cruiser SUP not to mention the Roar Draw for Ladies and Amateurs makes it a bargain encrusted weekend of SUPing ... Your crazy not to have entered any event in the OPEN and your even crazier not to turn up to the Draw on Sunday afternoon.

At this time the BOP race and the River Race will be starting at Noon .. The Kind people who run the Open have granted us a hold in the Surfing Finals to watch the BOPers do their laps and finish unencumbered by those pesky longboarder Finals ... Candice has to paddle in the BOP as well as compete in the Single fin final which comes directly after the BOP race finishes .So She already Knows she cant dally around on the Course ..

At this stage and another paddle of the course confirms its going to be a two leg to sea course .... not the initial three leg course as advertised all last week ..

Any Problems Ring Scotty 0412398585 He fixes all problems !! If Scotty refuses to answer try Lyn on 0417272379

YOUR ALREADY IN !!!! congratulations

Finals looked good today. They weren't giving scores because it is not a sanctioned event but I think Geoff and Beau were the standouts for me. Any of those guys could have won and it's so impressive to see them surf tiny waves. Hard to understand how Geoff milked those waves almost to the beach, he can sure paddle. I wonder if it will be as impressive on video. Beau really lays it over in his cutbacks. Wish I could have seen them on Thursdays bigger swell.

Some one going to give a run down on how the race panned out? Was it a good format , did the local girls give Candice a run for her money?

Lol thanks Dogman
