Looks like 2 years running

Sunshine Coast SUP Club comp day tomorrow at 7am at Maroochydore. Club points up for grabs

Club Presos with beers and BBQ follows and then maybe up to Coolum Coast of Origin Presos.

We need a bigger cabinet

Come on Swanie, I know you guys flogged us in the SUP division, but the official SUP points were only 46-26 (longboard points dont count for sup even if you kicked out butts in that division too!) so were weren't quite as bad as it looks.
At least we won one heat

Congrats to all the Sunny Coast crew, winning every mens heat and the finals, good to see everyone having a bit of fun in a friendly comp atmosphere, regardless of all the inter-coast banter.

SUPSA's got a lot of catching up to do for next year!

Here's the write up by Surfing QLD:

I stand corrected. Apologies for the inflated score. I was told the score on the phone but was told how well we did in the long board division as well. Be interesting tomorrow. I wouldn't right the gold coast off but they have their work cut out for them. We have some great grooms on the scene in short board.

The comp was on the sunny coast I gather

I wonder why one of the BEST surf sup guys on the GC and Australia was seen both today and yesterday free sup'ing at Rainbow Bay,go figure

Also the Mali Masters longboard comp was on this weekend at Rainbow Bay with some of the best 40 + longboarders in QLD

I did not win the trip.

Gold Coast, Queensland, Monday 10th September, 2012: THE Sunshine Coast secured their second consecutive overall World Surfaris Coast of Origin Interclub Series title, outpointing the Gold Coast 365-points to 285-points, with a dominant display of surfing over the weekend at Coolum Beach.
Despite wins from a fighting Snapper Rocks Surfriders in the Shortboard Tag Team component and overall Shortboard Club Championship, it was the depth of the Sunshine Coast across all their Club's that proved the difference in the end.
Every Sunshine Coast Shortboard State Challenge competitor pockets $50 each for their respective club, winning the Sunshine Coast Shortboard vs. Gold Coast Shortboard competition.
Snapper Rocks Surfriders effort was not in vain, with the Southern Gold Coasters walking away with $500 for their triumph in the Shortboard Tag Team component.
The Sunshine Coast's Longboard and Stand-Up-Paddleboard competitors set the tone for the weekend, handing their shortboard counterparts a 33-point lead at the beginning of the final day, before the champion Coast's shortboard contingent built on their momentum to take home the title once again.
Running from September 8-9, the World Surfaris Coast-of-Origin Interclub Series showcases the state's most talented Club surfers across shortboard, longboard and stand-up-paddleboard (SUP) with the Sunshine Coast super-team claiming Queensland's Boardriding Club surfing supremacy for 2012.
Over 20 Queensland Boardriding Clubs from Noosa to Coolangatta converged on the Sunshine Coast, with upwards of 200 competitors vying for the title of Queensland's best surfing coast.
The seven-event World Surfaris Coast-of-Origin Interclub Series sees surfers of all disciplines (Shortboard, Longboard and Stand Up Paddleboard) and ages, represent their respective Boardriding Clubs, their region and ultimately their 'Coast' – uniting Queensland's grass-roots surfing community in an amazing interclub competition.
