Registration for the main race closes at 5pm Saturday which only leaves one day.

If you do not own a PFD and you are unable to access one before Sunday, let us know as we have a limited number of vests available courtesy of SUPB HQ StKilda and Sandy Beach HQ paddle schools.

For those travelling from the south of the city Beach Rd will be closed on Sunday morning between Balcombe Rd, Black Rock and Dendy St, Brighton and Glen Huntly Rd, Elwood to Kerferd Rd, Albert Park.

See you at Sandridge.

Alan.

Hi Aquainc, the "intense" guys will clear out off the line very quickly and won't cause you any distress so feel free to go whichever distance you feel comfortable with.

As for parking, it's all free on the street and there's also the small car park at the Sandridge Life Saving Club, then the larger carpark right up on the bend for Surf Life Saving Victoria. All free parking all day.

Hope the day goes well - I'm sure it will be a fun day with lots of serious and social paddling! Good luck with the conditions - it's WSW with showers here on the MP.

What a great day.. Thanks to all the people that helped to make it happen..

Thanks to all the sponsors.. and everyone than came down to join in on the fun..

Surely you got more shots of the Red Bull girls as well as the lovely representative from Sunny King without that nuff-nuff messing up the shot.

Great images again David,

Props to the whole SUP Vic team all the sponsors and everyone elese it takes to put an event like that together.

I think close 100 competitors entered, I counted them as they paddled past me.

Huge range of boards on display if you couldn't find a race weapon of war in amongst that lot then you were a bit stiff.

Thanks to the Dog Miester for kitting out Nesha with a Surftech super weapon and DJ for the loan of a leggie as one got left behind in the 5am mad scramble out the door.

I borrowed the Surftech Lopez 14 but didn't really do it any justice however I can say that even with 120 kegs on it super stable and cut nicely through the chop so if your a bigger unit give it a whirl and see how it goes.

It was my first time out on the water in one of these races and getting lapped by Cam and Luke seeing them power away is a pretty interesting experience.

The elite guys have their own race pretty much right from the start but there are 30 other rivalries happening at the same time.

I guess then theres people like me just wanting to get around the course and see what its like and what it takes to get there.

You definitely don't have to be Olympic standard to have fun.

Come along have a crack, try out a few board and enjoy the vibe!

Phill

just a few shots i took

Thanks Sean for the footage.

As I was on the beach marshalling, I had no idea it was that glassy up along the rock wall!!

Great turnout, great teamwork by Sup Vic and a great result for paddling in Victoria.
