When – Sunday 6th November (This coming Sunday);
Start time – 8:30 am (for briefing) on the water by 9:00am;
Where – First car park on Ocean Grove side of Barwon Heads Bridge, right of Raff's, (location of first event).

The Weather is looking all time with offshore and 2-3ft of swell

GSI DEMO BOARDS

GSI will have 3 race/tour boards plus 9 surf SUPs and new 2012 Trident paddles all available for Demo.


We are going to run our normal expression session format with a follow up BBQ and flat water paddle on the river (18W).

If there is enough interest from the more accomplished, competitive SUPers we will run some short heats for them to push each others surfing and put on a good show.

Don't forget to bring sunscreen and leg ropes are compulsory.

BASSUP

Hi Phil, didn't see you on Saturday cause I got caught up at Raffs Demoing the new 9'6" Allwave. The best surf I've had in 25 years. Matt 18 and I got down at around 1.15 and stayed out till around 4.30 cause it was just such fun, even with the strong wind. If your'e looking for a board to hot dog on Phil, this is it. It was more stable than the 10'2" Paddler and twice as loose. Now I gotta find some money and buy the 9'2"!!!! I hope to bring two or three of my four groms with me on Sunday (Maybe 4 if the sullen 16 year old wants to give his new 6'8" fish a try), dependent on the Witches decree's. Look forward to seeing you then.

Hey Leroy,

Rich and a few of the guys got a wave there too about 2.30 it was clean and offshore with rights and lefts all over the shop.

Interested to see and surf the Allwave when you come down. I have heard the Allwaves rip but havent seen one in the flesh at this point!

I was supposed to return it on Wednesday, but I'll ring RPS( That fantastic Melbourne Institution) and see if they'll let me keep it till today week. If they have it booked in for another demo with someone else I don't like my chances. I can only but ask and tell them I'll be flogging there excellent service and brilliant products at a Bassup event. Are you reading this Warwick??

I spoke to the magnanimous King Warwick of RPS who checked the books and said I can bring the Allwave down to OG on RPS's behalf. Remember this board can also be used for Windsurfing (though why you would do that I don't know). See you Sunday Phil barring a curse of immobility (custody issues) from Madam Beelzebub.

Casso,

You know what demo days are like we are usually so run off our feet trying to organise and run the day its a little difficult to do the extras.

If we get some resonable weather and a few additional helpers then happy to do a live broadcast on the weekend.

Phill

Leroy has my express permission to caretake our Fanatic AW 9'6" for your event next weekend.

Leroy rates it! I'll be interested to see what you think about the green beast Phill?

I've put a couple of mates on them who surf well and they're rating them compared to what they were previously on.

Hey Warick,

I'm in the heavy weight division so it will be an interesting excercise.

I have been talking to a few people and they give the allwave a huge wrap so happy to put some crew on it and get you and Quinny some images.

Sands you're welcome to take photos of me tomorrow , I'll be at Raffs around 6.25 am tomorrow, but if thats not working I'll check out OG and then PRK. On Sunday come down and have a go. You won't regret it. My mate is riding a Starby 8'5" Pocket Rocket. Except for the stinger and the lack of Volume in the Starby they look the same. Probably out of the same factory in Thailand. As I said Phill this 9'6" is more stable than the 10'2" paddler!!!!! I'll let you ride them both. The Fanatic is about half the weight and around 25% more manouverable. That's why I'm going the 9'2". They surf like a Fish, 2 ft shorter IMHO. Either I had my best day of surfing since I was 25 or this board is GOOD! King Warwick is spot on!!!!!

Hello All,

The latest swell reports are predicting smaller waves for Sunday , so we have a back up plan as its going to be a warm sunny day, perfect for a paddle!

If the swell is too small for the area right of Raff's as marked on picture below, we will move to Ocean Grove main beach (left side of boat ramp) where we ran our last event.
This is a perfect site for all skill levels, here's a few pic's from the event ran there……….

Mmmmmm
Just home from a 50th at the OGrove SLSC
Better bring a BIG board, a really big board!
Something comfortable in the six to twelve inch range.
Ah well, see you all there. I'll be the one swimming off the hangover!

Dead right, I was hoping for some overnight leftovers at 13th before the sesh at about 6.00. The SE chop was nearly bigger than the swell at around 4ish.
