Question:
Australia or OS?

Rules:

Indonesia is out (don't ask)
Gold Coast, Byron Bay (been there too many times, not interested)

Swanie — Thu, 24 May 2012 18:16:55 +0800

Everyone is welcome to this and we would like to see many people from other regions come and join a day of fun on Race Boards. Race Boards and Surf SUPS will be on Demo.

We have put the invite out to all Shapers, Shops, and Distributors to have their boards at Kawana Lake on the 17th of June 2012. (if you are a shaper / shop / distributor and did not get an email please do not feel excluded as you just need to send me message and I will send you the info.)

We expect to have a large range of demos at the Lake for all to try. This is giving a fantastic opportunity for you to try different brands on the same day in the same conditions. You will also hear direct from the shapers, shops, distributors about all the pro's of their boards. Who knows you might even strike up a good deal with one.

So you think you're fast???

weiry — Thu, 24 May 2012 17:33:48 +0800

Hi Peeps,

It gives me the greatest pleasure to introduce you to Loris, possibly Australia's oldest race paddler. Loris has been paddling with us for 2 months now and after trying several boards, she felt the Fanatic 12'6" x 27 3/4" Red Rocket, Narrow carbon was the board for her. She also chose a the Quickblade Carbon/FG in red 90 paddle.

At just 67 years young, Loris has begun her training for this years Classic Paddle in Perth, a gruelling 5km sprint race in flat water from Point Walter to the Left Bank in Freo.

Loris is already paddling more than 5km as her standard training and will be amping it up to get her times faster for the race. She is also a keen swimmer and cycles as well. Loris is our "Little old lady from Pasedena" Look out for her on the start line at the Classic Paddle, she isn't going to be taking prisoners!

This weekends race in Hawaii

aussiewahine — Thu, 24 May 2012 06:49:17 +0800

This Sunday May 27,2012 the North Shore Lifeguarding Association will be hosting a fundraising race to help raise money for George Ramos. All the proceeds from the race will be donated to George to help him pay for his medical expenses. He is currently undergoing chemo therapy treatment for stage 4 cancer.

Since the late 1980's George has been competing in paddleboard races at an elite level. He has consistently placed near the top in almost every race he competed in. He has paddled in the prestigious Molokai to Oahu race every year since its inception, a record 15 times. His training regimen is legendary. A weekend training run for George would be a paddle from Sunset to Haleiwa back to Sunset and then do the whole run over again approximately 30 miles without taking a break or drinking any water!!

The race will start at Sunset Beach and end at Waimea Bay. The race is open to all paddlers including divisions for SUP, One Man Canoes, traditional prone paddleboards and surfboards...

King of Molokai

aussiewahine — Thu, 24 May 2012 06:01:49 +0800

We all know Jamie Mitchell has won 10 titles but Oscar Chalupsky has just won his 12th title in the surfski race. This is a huge effort to win ahead of the likes of clint Robinson and dean gardener. Makes you wonder who is the king of Molokai and the greatest ocean paddler of all time and will we be mentioning the likes of Connor Baxter in years to come?

Do I need a SUP specific leash?

Slab — Thu, 24 May 2012 02:09:22 +0800

Is it okay to use a standard Longboard leash for a 9ft 6 SUP...or do I need a stronger leash? Not using it in big surf...just waist high.

New Racing Format

Goochi — Wed, 23 May 2012 10:04:43 +0800

Hi Peeps,

On Sunday we had the privilege of doing demo's and Exhibiting Stand Up Paddle to 300+ Paddlers at the Canoeing WA race event in Bayswater. One of the things we did was to trial a new race format we have been talking about for a while now.

Pursuit racing - Similar to cycle pursuit, we laid out two inflatable marker buoys just 15m off the shoreline and set them ~40m apart. One rider starts at each end adjacent to the marker buoy. Competitors race in a figure 8 fashion around the buoys. The winner is the paddler who puts the nose of his board ahead of his competitors tail at the beginning of an over take. A time limit of 4 or 5 minutes can be set for riders of equal fitness and speed in case a clear overtake is not possible. It is easy to see who is ahead after 5 minutes at the turn buoys.

This racing is flat out sprinting and requires excellent kick turning ability as well as the ability to start and accelerate quickly, trim the board on the fly and fast paddle c...
