A very satisfying end to the festival with a great turn out of spectators to watch Manly's first ever BOP style race despite the weather.

The surf was up to 3 foot for the Suplove for SNOWY MCALISTER FESTIVAL Sup Race on Monday afternoon. Although raining steadily all day competitors in the race finished smiling after 3 laps of the U style course.

Bombs caught off the outside turning bouys by Steve and Stuart entertained the crowd but did not do enough for them to catch the leaders after they both got snowed on in the shore break at the start. Pete showed a clean pair of heals at the start and some very clean racing throughout. Tony although chasing hard was not able to close the gap.


RESULTS

1st - Pete Morgan - Starboard BOP
2nd - Tony Fraussy Ruault - Suplove
3rd - Steve Piper - PSH Hull Paddler
4th - Stuart Murray - Suplove

After this years dramas starting with the yacht and I getting smashed up in the once in a ten year storm at Little Manly Cove, I might be mighty tempted to sail way north next year! If I am around I do hope to have a race board by then.

Still, I am stoked at the good vibe at these SUP events. It is a lot like longboarding back in the early 90's before things got too big and commercial. The great thing too about the races is that there is no subjective element due judging. Hopefully the sport is going to evolve into something great and most importantly FUN!
