Forget the AFL footy finals! September is all about Stand Up Paddle! SUPHQ is proud to present our SUP family day and social paddle on Albert Park Lake on Saturday 10th of September 2011 at 11am.
F1 drivers have raced around it, people have ran around it, dogs have been walked around it and some have even swam around it but not many have Supped it. This is your chance to be one of the first ever! Registration opens at 1030am for a 11am start. $15 entry. Approx 4.5km paddle followed by a BBQ lunch afterwards provided by the SUPHQ guys. Both race and social classes as usual!
Unlimited board size and first time paddlers very welcome. Boards and paddles available for hire so bring the whole family for an action packed morning. Emphasis is on fun fun fun and then more fun. Life jackets a must and will be provided if you do not have your own. Cash prizes for first people over the line!
Meet at the Albert Park Lake BBQs on the north west side of the Lake right opposite Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre car park (MSAC) just off Aughtie Drive, Albert Park. Melways Ref 2K E7. Parking available at MSAC or in the golf driving range car park! Please call us on 0416 184 994 for more info. Catch you there!! Some discounted boards and paddles also on offer!

Hey Phill, you can still famine at Albert Park. Mick's BBQ'ing is pretty good, but it isn't that good.
Hey woodie I have 11 kids for the weekend all staying with us so unfortunately no a happening thing.
Next time
I'll be there.. Bring footwear for paddling.. It's shallow with lots of broken glass.. (so I've heard).. No one should fall off anyway.. but you never know.

Good call DJ,
Booties are a good idea - we have plenty to hand out!
And don't worry PT Woody - I'm off BBQ duties, Phil has put his hand up for this!!
Mick
Hi guys
Winds are gusting over 30 knots so we have made the call this morning to postpone the Albert Park race for another time through the summer months. A bit of a same because I was ready to display some BBQ magic this morning and turn one of those beef patties into a "DJ Croc".
Stay tuned on our website at www.supb.com.au, facebook and seabreese for updates of our race plans this season. As a side note, Chris, Rea and others are getting stuck in to their training already. Feel free to join them Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30am from SupHQ at the St Kilda Seabaths.
Cheers
Phil
Damn. Guess it's a day at home. Wonder who all these people are in my house? Oh wait, that's right, they're my family.
