Heads-up on a great event coming our way next month!

As part of the Sydney Pittwater Festival, the Newport Royal Motor Yacht Club is hosting the first Sydney SUP Expo and Scotland Island race - Sunday March 9th 2014

Six months in the planning this is going to be one big FUN FAMILY DAY with the details to be announced over the next week.

I joined some friends on Sunday for a 'Tour De Pittwater' to scope out the possibilities for the race and a bit of a play.
The Scotland Island race will be a big part of the event and as we found out, it is in a really beautiful part of Pittwater!



In keeping with a fun, family event there will be heaps of divisions and heaps of prizes, SUP Expo, lessons, demos, kids clinics and family time trials!
Plenty more will be added prior to the event, so if you love to paddle standing up, mark it on the calendar - Sunday March 9th!
Thanks to Jill, Jimmy and Boycey for suffering through a glorious morning, Sam and Dan for the creative GoPRo footage and Rob Brown from the RMYC for the boat and breakfast!

This is our first real attempt at a GoPro video (with lots of tips from Von Piros!) [i]We tried to capture the be magic of this end of Pittwater. Hope you enjoy![/i]

Thanks DJ, getting the thumbs of from the GoPro aficionado of Seabreeze is quite something!
I think shooting from a boat made a big difference.

Kissa we were stunned at how beautiful it is over there. It was a magic morning!

Cant wait till March. We are getting some great support for this event! It is going to be a big day of FUN of SUP action!

Rego for the race will be opening shortly.

How long will the race be AA ?
Got some cobwebs to dust off.
By the way, you know they are using these helicopter GoPro thingys in QLD.
Filming from boats are old days now.

Sorry Scotty , a bit slow on the uptake here!

The Scotland Island race is 6k and the short fun course will be around 1k.

To help blow off the cob webs you can warm up in the Time Trail through the Marina!





Working on getting the Go Pro in the air for the event!
