The Snowy McAlister Winter Surfing Festival is on again over the Queen's birthday long weekend (9th, 10th, 11th June) at Manly, NSW.
Registrations are now open and the SUP surfing division fills up very quick - so get onto it ASAP.

It's Sydney's most prestigious and longest running SUP event with past winners in the calibre of:
- Woogie Marsh
- Ben Apps
- Beau Nixon
- Glenn Turner
Thanks for the post! I have not surfed the Snowy since 1993 when I got a second in the old mal. That was one hell of a comp and I would be mad not to turn up for the 25th!
Hayden Swan, you still out there?
Oh. I know this is a SUP forum, but what is the go with the "log" division?
I'm going to this one. I want my title back lol.
Really good event if there are waves. I also love the parking fees. Whats it up to now $45 an hour.
I am in! Now it is sit back and see if we get a strong east coast low. In both 92 & 93 it went from a couple of feet Sunday to over ten on the Monday. Fond memmories from my youth. I am just not sure how I am going to get the SUP out if its crunching six feet plus close-outs like 93. I might start saving for a new leash and get some health cover! 
Other than Noosa, this would have to be one of the longest running SUP events in Australia!
Blast from the past - 2008!
cool vid, will be interesting to watch the level of sup surfing in 08 next to the surfing we see in the final this year (not taking anything away from 08) but the boards and styles have changed in the last few years.
I think it would be great to see Sup comps have a longboard style event as well as a short board style. Maybe 10 -12' boards and judged on longboard style?
Yeh Sam..12'6 would be a blast, surfing the 16'+ SIC on a beach break may be interesting though, have you tried it?
SurfershaneA I think the sup judging at the Snowy will be short board style surfing. Casso?
Classic vid, AA.
Woogie was ripping. He blew us away with his new contraption from Queensland - a SUP with a pointy nose. Who'd a thunk it?
Oh bugger!!! This comp is the same day as the QLD State Titles....
Hopefully we all get some nice winter swells on this weekend!
Shane.... Sound's like you were in Steel City Malibu Club back in the nineties.
The Snowy in them days was one of the best run comps on the coast. Always went down for a look but never competed. I'll have to make the effort this year and head south, instead of north.
