Don't leave anything of value in your vechile there.
Do not hide your keys...the scum are watching.
Break ins are rife and the police do zero for you.
I speak from experience.
Hate to have any breezers getting ripped off through lack of a warning.

Just like with any beach in any country.

I'm sure if you asked at the club tent they would look after any valuables you had on the day.

If anyone is looking for Accommodation the Halse Lodge just up the road has some great deals.

This would also be a great place to stay for the Noosa Festival of Surfing if you are planning on coming up / over for next year.

Long range weather looks favourable at this stage. SE Wind (Offshore).

Swell could be dropping throughout the day. So get there early.

Bring it on!!

Looking forward to it mate. For those on the Goldie and Brisbane, this is worth the short road trip. The last 2 years have been great. Good vibe and lots to demo. See you all there.

yeh was a great day thanks to the exhibitors for having so many boards on hand...

while the strong wind did make it pretty challenging i managed to try:

the psh hull very interesting design
the naish 9'5 was really fast and tight
the coreban 9' fusion super smooth surfs itself
but the most fun in all this bloody wind on small waves was the coreban 11'6 ... never surfed a board that big before and never thought i would but man she just growls onto the wave and stays there just made me laugh !!

heaps of fun left the mals on the roof the whole day :)

Yeah agree the 11'6 Coreban was great on the day.
Also liked the Hobie 9'6 and the Hobie 10'6/5?
Naish 9'5 was stable to paddle.
DC 12'6 surfed well for a race board.

Great day with a great crew :)

Thanks Noosa Beach Boys. Good bunch and a great vibe.

So many toys on the beach was terrific. Didn't try them all and didn't find a board I wouldn't happily pay for.

9'5" Naish Hokua: Great board, really stable for a performance board. Great board for the bigger person who still wants a high performance board or for your high performance board in messy on shore days.

The DC 12'6 was fantastic and and surfed well. Great BOP board. The corban 12'6" was popular but didn't get time to get on it.

Geoff Breen's 8'6" Laguna was amazing to surf so responsive.

8'5" Naish Hokua was awesome. Gave me the incentive to keep the wait off.

9'6" Hobie: Great board. But I liked the 8'6" Hobie better. It just wanted to do floaters and was easy to land.

Ran out of time to jump on others.
Thanks again to the organisers
