You made me dig up the Melways!! Green Point didn't come up for me on Google Maps.

Regarding Location: Green Point is basically at the end of "South Road". (for those not overly familiar with Brighton).

Is the big carpark there at the war memorial a free carpark, or will we need a fist full of gold coins to park there, or credit card, or free on Sunday... ???

I'll check sometime in the next few days, but I think that all of the streets off Beach Rd near Green Point don't have any parking restrictions. So you could rock up to the carpark, unload etc and then put the car across the road.

However, subject to conditions on the day, we are aiming to start the 8km paddle at Ricketts Point (Beaumaris), so there may be a bit of car shuffling. We will have facilities (trailers, vans) to transport multiple boards down to the start line.

Not sure if everyone can read the poster graphics but here is the list of event sponsors...

COREBAN (major sponsor)


Sandringham Community Bank Branch - Bendigo Bank
SHQ Board Sports
RPS - the Board Store
SUPB StKilda
Island Tribe Sun Protection
Quick Blade
Global Surf Industries
Trident
Starboard
Flying Objects
O'Neill Wetsuits
Dakine
FCS
Mike Fry SUP
Surf Tech
Balin

Clarifying earlier questions, the intention is to make the 8km race a water start and beach finish, whereas the 2km race will be a beach start and finish.

Posters and flyers are up and about in shops now..

I was just wondering..

with the great response that we've had from the knee paddlers from the life saving clubs..

Should we expect them to beat up on our stand-up's? .. are they that fast?

Registered online last week.
Been training hard.
Caught some bay waves last night in the 20knot onshore conditions.
Went to catch one last wave and nose dived then the board flew up and whacked my hand.
Result - fractured bone in the hand.

Any chance of a refund Brendan?

Sorry Al, no refunds you just have to Harden the F... Up what sort of example would it set for the kiddies if we all pulled out just because of a broken bone or two

Don't worry about it Brendan.
I think disappointment got the better of me.
I'll offer up my services for ground crew on the day.
Just let me know what I can do as well as HTFU.
