Well, well, after such a great run last Saturday, it was looking like Huey was going to be lacking a bit of puff this w/e. Sunday arvo is now looking better and better every time I check, so I reckon if anyone is keen we could line up for another go. How about we head off at 1600 this Sunday 12th from Port Beach carpark( Just South of Salt Restaurant) and end up at Swanny SLC. There will be a couple of spare 12'6" DW boards for those that want to try something different. Post your interest and we can organise cars etc. Breeze is looking great if you want to give DW a go. There were 15 of us last week, and it was a blast.

I have a 14ft Carbon Fanatic and a 12"6' Carbon Fanatic. But anything around those lengths will be fine I am not fussy. I am just happy to have a paddle with a new crew. Will need a paddle also or should i bring my own. Where and when shall i meet you guys and i shall see you there. Looking forward to meeting you

Any thing that floats and you can paddle will be fine we send off the wave type boards first then the slower crew then the faster guys with Galvo (standup surf shop doing the sweep ) he's too fast on that SIC glad he's giving it back Tim rest of us can have a chance now ,,,,,

Hi,

I'm really keen to join in. I'm keen to find other SUPPING crew in Perth as I've been on my own until now. I've been SUP surfing but would really love to give a longer race board a go to see if I like it and can get to ride some swell lines?? Any spare or am I too late? I can still bring my Starboard 10.6.

The 17ft sounds cool but if it's to hard to transport down I'll paddle any a 14dc will be fine. I am really looking forward to it.

I've seen him in action on the 17 and lets just say he was steering the ship not you.

That is really brilliant. Thanks ChickenStix. Been wanting to try a long board for a while so thanks everyone for helping here. Not sure what the system is so do you want me to pick up a board from Swanny at 3:20pm? Or, should I just meet at Port Beach? Please let me know where I can help. Really looking forward to it and nice to hear a few other girls are coming down. Too much testosterone in the water can't be good.

I reckon i might make it this time.
Meeting at Swanny is usually the go KM, we can then car pool up to Port so most of the cars are at the finish point.

Hey KM, if you meet at Swannie at 1520, and leave your car there, then hitch a ride with one of the crew heading up to Port. I'll have the board at Port ready to go.

Hi Stimo, I will be at Swannie at 3:10 with my car and one board - can offer a ride to Port if anyone needs it. Please just let me know. ... also if there is anyone else with a small board (I have a 10'5" carbon Starboard Drive) - maybe we should start a bit before 1600 ... ?... just let me know - you guys are organising it and are doing a great job - I don't want to interfere, just want to help . Cheers, Nadia
