Sorry Scotty, had to red thumb you mate, thats another person you have just "produced' into the line up.......... ![]()
Congrats Scotty, its awesome to have one of both! I'm sure your little girl will love having a baby in the house, as well as yourself.
Congrats Mate,
Sounds like a job welldone by all. All the best to your family. Another little paddler is born.
Cheers Angie & Jacko
what speed are you guys averaging on flat water?
For the over 40's you can enter on a 14 footer but if you want to enter in Open or Pro as well you must be on a 12-6 max....clear as mud.
So if you are a crusty elite athlete and fancy yourself as a chance in 2 divisions you have to be on a 12-6 and do 3 laps , over 40 is 3 laps so you can't enter amature and over 40. amature is only 2 laps.
Prizes will go down to 5th place in the 40's. For all those without race boards don't worry as it will be a disadvantage in the predicited sloppy N.E conditions , my call is the over 40's will be won on a Surfing SUP![]()
You have got to in it to win it![]()

And don't forget about the SUPSA Cash Can ..... first male and first female to the dedicated can and taps with the paddle after the start in the Elite Race collects $200 cold hard cash to put on the bar at the Kirra Hotel ..... but don't forget, you have to finish the race to collect the cash.
The Kirra Challenge Race course has changed slightly from last posted course plan, and also a few changes have been made on the website regarding race rules and info.
I can't alter the 'Events' and 'News' posts on this site, so visit the link to site below to check out changes.http://www.greenlinepaddlesurf.com/Green_Line_Paddle_Surf/Latest_Stuff.html
Below is amended course, allowing for a beach start and still having an inside turn (now called the SUPSA Cash Can thanks to the SUPSA crew) on the first lap to put on a good show for spectators.
See you there Sunday,
Scotty
I don't think you will see any hire race boards , due to the carnage around the cans. I have just come fromn Kirra there are fours breaks to get through ![]()
So conditions not looking as clean as earlier in the week with the northerlies (seems to be the norm for comps on the Goldy). Definitely will make it interesting though, especially considering the variety of boards that will be there giving it a crack. I think board choice will make or break some, but practise, training and experience always win the day.
If anyone still needs a board give me a pm or call to arrange. Still have a 14' and couple of Novice boards available but will need to organise before 7 in morning.
The crew from Endura have supplied some product (bottles included) to hydrate all the thirsty paddlers, which will be available at the sign-in tent before and after the race. We will have water available too.
We will be down there early in the morning and should be set up and ready to go by 7-7.30 for anyone keen for an early sign in to give time for bit of practice.
See you there,
Scotty

It was a great event. So stoked I entered, did no good, a bit dissapointed with some errors but safe to say that it planted a bug for me.
Must say that I was kind of shocked how competitive the amateur division was.
Got to watch the finish of the pros though, what a great morning, when's the next one?
