Why would anyone be drinking that foreign shlt when you have the best beer in the world 170 kms north of here ?????

they say "you can take the boy out of Launceston, but you can't take the Launceston out of the boy" can you billboard.

and i'm with you billboard on that foreign ****, the poms (ie spencer) think they beat the germans in the war, but i think the germans may think different now that they have got the poms (ie spencer) to buy their beer.

you can't go past Cascade Pale Ale.

i SAW YOU BB

you were looking good .. pitty you had to go to work ..

but someone has to run the country.

I went up to the SUPER BANK (it's back) at Carlton Ri.

and after an hour of solitude Spencer joined me.

Conditions were glassy, misty,milky and chest high in the sets.
The swell was like oil and invisible until about 5 seconds before take off.
The wall was long and powerful and tightened up towards the end until you kicked out way up the river at knee hight. 200m rides. Then back out the channel
and around again like a big endless conveyor belt.

It's gotta be the best place on earth for developing SUPpers. And if you get sick of the
endless rights .. go over onto the left.

Think I'll do it again tomorrow .. 7:00 am start .. coffee @ bakery 1st.

It just never ends ..

Why are you talking to yourself bill?

Okay one and all.

The first newsletter is being compiled this week and will be emailed out by next weekend. Please get us your email contact details in the next couple of days so we can get you on the contact list. Please also send us anything you would like to include in the newsletter - including any boards or equipment you have for sale and/or board reviews or any offers you or friends have that may interest other sup'ers around the country.
Regarding boards/equipment you may be selling - all we will do is post your board for sale and your contact details for anyone on the tassiesup list to contact you for further info'.

Well - planning has begun on the "Tasmanian World Sup Race Invitational".

This event is going to be open to all who get themselves on the "tassiesup" email list.

It will comprise both flatwater and open water races with classes for sup surf boards as well as sup race boards. The sup surf classes will be all about fun and be short courses and the serious sheep station races will be for the 12.6 racers in open water over both short and long (not too long mind you-) courses.

Dates, location and final class details will be posted as soon as we have a full committee meeting and nut it all out, but be comforted by the fact that it will not happen until after the thaw

The overall theme for this event is FUN & FAMILY - yes there will be a couple of serious offshore races for those that are into that kinda thing, but on the whole it is about getting together and having a bit of friendly competition and sharing a few laughs and getting the whole family involved and paddling in some of the worlds most stunning locations.

Keep an eye on this thread for more details and to keep right up to date shoot us your emaill address at tassiesup@gmail.com and you will be kept in the loop.

Hey Billboard

That all sounds really good

Come on 2MT, you must have known about this, thats why you have cut down your 13'6" to a 12'6", don't know if the square nose will work in the up winder to well though.

If there is a 12'6" BOP board that is
faster than my tank tested "blimp nose" model
then I'll buy it.

cruisen said...

I thought 12'6 boards were old school.

Should 14 be the new boards of choice for us Tassie boys for race and DW. Makes sense to me as they are faster, handle DW'S much better and are just as surfable as the 12.6 bop boards. They do everything a 12.6 does and better plus they do more.

Mat - you may as well claim the state 14.0 title because I think you may have the only one in the state.

I dont have a 14 footer boss. Just thinking why get a 12.6 when a 14 does more and better.

some nice waves were had at the mecca bowl this morning, 3 supers & a longboarder, at least the water cant get any colder now, does keep the others out of the water though.

Got Roaring Beach, Nubeena, today.

Low incoming tide, light offshore.

Swell 2' overhead and settie.

There are banks but it was like a lottery

trying to get some shape with down the line action.

The big takeoffs were great.

Just me and two shortboarders.

Might go again tomorrow on a higher tide.

Any takers ?? ...

2MT

River paddling this week but have sat' off so may paddle the longboard down to stooges

that ginger nut looks like the no 1 to be, to battle it out with bozo as top dog
