You aren't heading down south this weekend Lach?

Nah Cam, as much as I would like to - have committments on the Sunday morning in Perth. Good luck to all of you, could be some interesting conditions .

Have you seen the BOP course? By the looks of it they want us to paddle back out through mains at yalls!

We're you bin wessy !!!! No drinking partner again , floaties all good mate I am in for the DW run wind looking not to good now have a few new crew coming down have board from stand up surf shop thanks Galvo again good luck with the surfing just turn and go it works for me

Hi Chickenstix, Keen to join in again this Sunday but keeping up with the crew is obviously a problem for this SUPPER. Any options? I"m thinking I don't paddle to the Port groyne and/or hop out at Duch like Ann did last week? Just not cluey about the transport system so not sure what options are really there and how it would work. Very content to use my 10.6 board too. Also, looks like there might be some other smaller ocean training sessions around so if these Sunday DW are best kept to the 8km that's cool. I'll work at building up my skill and fitness and join in again when better up to it. Not an issue. Kylie

Hey Kylie, good idea about dropping the paddle up to the groyne, and depending on how you feel, you could pull out at Dutchies, or keep going to Swannie. If your car is at Dutchies and you go thru to Swannie, we can drop you back on the way home. Maybe text Sal and we can fine tune on the day.

Hi Kylie, I am happy to keep you company at your/our pace, as I too am a 'leisurely' paddler

see you at Swannie 3.20 yayyyyyy finally...its true, its true Lance

Great run today 15 starters 4 newbys all paddled well doc Pete paddled in first from back good time 39 minuets think Sally took out the girls with rest all close by with testing shore break . The stagged start worked well with most finishing at same time ,thanks loch for boards and galvo for board for cross fit Jac first DW and smashed it out look out girls , Long weekend next week so of hunting waves

What a great run !! 18-23 kn from the S/SW with a reasonable swell to boot. Once again we had some first timers join the crew, and everyone did really well. Good to see China, Jackie, Kiwibro and Mark T have a go - sounds like they will all be back !! Jenkz was land based after his recent brush with the doc's knife, and it was great to see him out and about -can't wait to see those photo's of the dice with the Swannie shorebreak Jenkz ! Stimo did his best to turn his brand new ( first run !!) DC14 into the Swannie Pylon, but both came thru unscathed - except for a little dent in the pride maybe. Amazing to see how fast some paddlers are improving. A few weeks ago paddlers that were struggling are now flying down the course. Once again Stimo provided the beers ( you are a very generous fella Stimo, I don't believe what Rog says for a minute ). Have a great week everyone, and a Long Weekend coming up !!

First downwinder yesterday and will definitely be back for more. Great to have a paddle with a supa crew of guys and gals with the same interest in SUP. Thanks heaps to Loch for the lend of a board and Stimo for the refreshments and for organizing. Have to get Mrs Smith down to even up the girl/guy ratio a bit!! Cheers & see you in a few weeks.

Some of the shots from Sunday... Stimo's pride n joy The ever growing group The finish

Great shots.. Any vid? DJ

Stimo may have some from his Go-pro.

ps. Thanks Jenkz for the great photos. Excellent. ... and to Ian for the 'paddle at my pace' offer. I'm feeling more comfy about this whole thing. Brilliant.
