And niiiiiiice paddle ,

Thanks TD .. limited edition

very expensive .. elitest.

Just wondering about the BOP race. Where is it being held and will there be divisions, what size boards can enter?

Thanks.

Jules

Thanks.

Is the BOP race going to be held on the inside or outside of the Neck? I know a few flat water 12'6 paddlers who might be interested in entering but they don't have experience in surf (and 2 very keen 14' riders wanting to flat water race and do downwinders).

I should have a some 12'6 demo boards for the day.

It would certainly be of great benefit for
the TASSIESUP WINTER CLASSIC to have
these other disciplines .. more bums on seats.

And the BOP competitors may choose to enter
in the flat water events as well.

The accent is not on comp but to get everyone
together .. it all just flows on from there.

BUT there will be entry fees to all events.

AND prises AND trophies to die for.

Just can't wait .. how many sleeps now !

BOOK IN EARLY AT THE LUFRA HOTEL
JUST MENTION "THE WINTER CLASSIC"
TO GET THE SPECIAL DISCOUNT RATES
THAT WE'VE BEEN OFFERED.

Had a coffee and egg and bacon brekky at the
bakery .. last Sat .. then a session at park beach
before we went to Eaglehawk Neck.

Called into the LUFRA HOTEL .. our sponsors for
this years TassieSUP Winter Classic .. met the
management .. had morning tea .. checked out
the rooms .. it's all good.

So we've started booking into the rooms and
anyone out there who's coming should do likewise.

We've got preferential rates, that you'll get advise on soon,
but in the meantime you can still book.

TassieSUP Winter Classic trophies

are rolling off the production line.

This latest creation .. the SUP BUG

self illuminating .. custom one off

will become the pride of some
deserving competitors crystal cabinet.

Nice one Tasmanian watersports ., can only imagine the time , effort put into making those ,

Reckon the spirit of Tasmania will be booked out with mainlanders coming down trying to win one

Hey Dave, T-Shirts, how are they going.

I am up for one.

Cheers.

ET.

Would not hold your breath waiting for surfing tas to hand out you tee shirt when you join. Still have not got mine after joining 2 months ago

I think the clubs are trying to negotiate
a deal where their members are automatically
Surf Tas joined so long as they're financial
with their respective affiliated clubs.

In the meantime if you try to enter a Surf Tas
comp you will be unable to do so unless you
are financial.

I personally wouldn't join until I really needed
to .. ie: just prior to comp entry.

Looks like we have a few questions here in relation to surfing tasmania that I can answer .

1. SUP now has a voice with surf tas and they have created a position on their committee for a SUP rep who for the time being is me
2. Entrants in the TassieSUP Winter Classic will get one of the surf tas 50th a anniversary t shirts, TassieSUP will not be creating a special event t shirt
3. Shirts are about to be printed, this has taken a little while to organise as they have come up with a new design this year and will be posted out when they are available.
4. Membership with surfing to is taken over a calendar year eg January to December.
5. If you are a member of a club that is affiliated with surf tas you will need to join surf tas to compete in the Winter Classic, surf tas will be discussing this at their next meeting and things may change next year

Will the sup winter classic be like last year ? Meaning: will mainland competitors be allowed? The whole event was a complete waist of time because the winner was a mainlander therefor no tasmanian was able to be selected to represent Tas. Big slap in the face from surfing tas to all the tassie boys and girls

You make a good point Cruisen
and this year there will be a special
division for visiting States' entrants.

But the old system wasn't all bad ..
at least if a mainland visitor beat
you, what was the use of you being
selected to represent Tas .. because
he was just going to beat you again
in the Nationals anyway ..

Anyway they might be good enough
to show us a few skills .. some that
we've already forgotten .. and party
with us.

I hope Standito can make it again
this year.

I think the local guys are worried
that an interstate entrant could knock
them out in an early round and therefore
they won't get to realise their full potential relative
to other Tassies.

If you read the program of events (above) you'll
see that visitors have a separate division, they don't
have to join Surf Tas and they can enter on the
beach on the day.

Cheers

And dont forget that surfing tas will probable just choose one of their mates to represent tassie who didnt enter the comp. so one would think is it worth the entry fee or would it be better to just have a fun surf with everyone up the beach further.

Naah .. just stay home and give the chooks

a good dusting with mite powder .. bliss ..
