could be right Bill just checked surf forecast and they are saying Friday 4 star 6 foot SE swell with gentle offshore breeze ( how nice is that ), no forecast for Saturday as yet

also say for Scamander rivermouth SE swell is best , and hazards include rocks rips and sharks ,they forgot to mention stand up paddle surfers from the south , bring it on

got a feeling this could be like state of origin league ,with the north dominating year after year while the southern boys try different teams and techniques trying to keep up

HOT TIP 1

To be at your best on the day .. 22 Jun ..
make sure you have plenty of wetsuit
booties sessions in the meantime.

Nothing worse than re-adjusting to booties.

Sincerely

Dr. SUP



HOT TIP 2

At this stage you should be building up a conspiracy
against your closest rivals .. occupy their favourate
carpark .. death stare them .. & etc.

Sincerely

Dr. SUP




[b]HOT TIP 3

Beverages are a very important consumable to have
on the beach at all times .. beer, for energy and overcoming
pre comp nerves ( but if you are from the south bring your
own eski of Cascade .. Boags upsets the digestive bacterior )
Also be prepared to go out for capachinos .. to bribe the judges.
Judges can't resist a chino and chocolate eclaire .. as a matter of fact
chino and choco eclaires were once banned from comp areas .. the
placings were being effected too much.

Sincerely

Dr. SUP
[/b]




HOT TIP 4

Make sure you have a second, more conservative board. Because
you know what happens at comps ..waves are good until your heat .. then
the swell drops and the wind comes onshore. So you will have to forsake
that sleek pro-custom job and bring on the bloated canetoad .. it will serve
you well. And so you will have need to re-bond with with this unit, over many
slushy sessions, between now and JUNE 22.

Sincerely

Dr. SUP


[b]HOT TIP 5


High profile, on the beach, on the day, is essential .. so make sure
you have a TassieSUP Winter Classic T shirt .. Sea Urchin Design
Hoodie .. customised stubbie cooler .. fin cluster covered with a beach
towel .. and dog-eared volumes of both "Busting Down The Doors"
and "Searching For MT" discreetly on view.

Sincerely

Dr. SUP



HOT TIP 6

Having spent the last 2 months training .. in rubber boots .. whilst occuping
your opponents favourate car park .. death staring .. beverages on hand .. paddling
a bloated cane toad in onshore slop .. swatting up on prescribed reading .. and
purchasing avent guard beachware .. there is only one last hot tip to give .. and
that is to complain bitterly to the event organisers, incessently, about every aspect
of the comp: the conditions, the draw, the inequities and have the comp relocated to
a site that is more suited to yourself.

The squeeky wheel gets the oil .. and the fame and fortune.

Sincerely

Dr. SUP

Ok, looks like no work on for the weekend, so I'm signed up, paid up and ready to go. So I don't have to troll through endless pages of comment, can I confirm start time as 10ish on Sat morning and is there any chance of some left handers up there for goofy footers?

Well done

9:00am start

We will deliver both
rights and lefts .. but
the exact proportions
can be established if you supply
cuppachinos and chocolate eclairs
to the beach crew .. on the day.
