Hi Guys & Girls,
The course for the Greenline SUP Race at the Hyundai Malfunction will be decided on the Sunday morning at the debrief at 9.30am.

There will be two course options to be considered.

1) Start next to the Air Sea Rescue hq and race along the Cudgen Creek, around a buoy before returning to the starting line then running along the beach with your paddle in hand to finish in front of the spectators at the main surfing arena in front of the surf club. Approx 5 ks of paddling and a 500m run.

2) If the surf is flat, Start next to the Air Sea Rescue hq and race along Cudgen Creek, around a buoy before returning out through the mouth of the creek. Paddling along to a buoy and in to the beach for a short run to the finish. Approx 5 ks paddling and 100m run.

The decision will be made with competitor safety & comfort the main priority.

what day is the race on mate ?

Hey Sean when are the first Sup heats.

Can anyone let me know if there is a Female division in the Racing? So far i know of 4 girls that i know want to enter the unlimited or 14ft class for girls but they all want to know if there is a girls division.

Cheers Jacko

does it really matter????

idealy it would be great to have all the classes, but as time and money are the biggest factors in hosting an event, especially for a newish sport i guess we have to take what we can. Only will more come to the sport if more participate. its kinda the chicken or the egg theroy, which comes first??? the competitors or the compettion???

girls competeing in this event can still go in it and treat it as a race, and even get times done for the women only...sure they may not be first accross the line, but is that what it is really about?

There is a trophy & $100 for the first lady to finish the race.
Same for the first O40's paddler.

Some of these big Stand Up chicks would wop me.

They have shoulders bigger than most men.

chuck

and some of ""these big Stand up chicks" would have great pleasure doing so... big deal if we have bigger shouulders than most men... its a by-product of doing a sport we love that involves those muscle groups... you dont see many good paddlers out there without a strong upper body...even with females.

Cool, i entered so someone should have a easy heat!!!

Is there a junior division as well?

Keahi

Not for you i hope??

Keahi No Jnr division this year but maybe next if there is enough interest.

You need to be registered by 9.30am on Sunday morning NSW Time and then there will be a debriefing.
Racing will start at 10.30

what about an over 40 division??
