Wish I was was rusty. Saw DJs pictures and it looks like a nice place. Hope for swell.

WHOA!! Hasn't this thread taken a different direction.......gee and I wonder why??

In the end everyone paddles for different reason, maybe the social aspect or just to push hard and earn a few extra beers on the weekend or maybe to increase fitness for their downwinders and for a small group that race at the elite level, regardless of why we all have or goals and a love for this awesome sport.

Whether you pay for training or not, whether you have a coach or not isn't the point, the key to success, motivation and bringing a group of like minded, passionate people together on the water is following a successful structured program.

So how this whole thread started was that we are running a free program designed by Mick Dibetta in Currumbin creek specializing on the 4 main energy system to increase anaerobic fitness, there was some interest from the Sunny coast so we offered to share it because at the end of the day the more people paddling faster the better it is for everyone.

But if you really feel the need to pay then please bring some money with you on Saturday morning, I'll buy a couple of beers that arvo at the surf club then donate the rest back to your local stand up club. See ya bright and early on Saturday

Awesome session and it has fueled the desire on the coast to get a group training together. Counted 24 there today.

Massive thank you from the Sunshine Coast.

Don't ever remember paying for the great waves I've caught

Big thanks to Kelly for sharing his training tips with the sunny coast crew and also for bringing my nice new board up for me

Im sure he didnt let you in on all the Goldys secret training techniques

How would you know!!!
you turn up once a week and sit at the back of the crew and watch everyone What a great session to the dedicated this morning with the (phamton of Coolum Photos) Lockie running the session!!!!!!!
Dont want to talk out of school but a certain top paddler turned up late and missed out on one lap and there was a silver van seen going south prior to training!!!
Go figure!!!

Wow. You blokes are spoiled up there. We don't even have proper flat water to train on, let alone resident guns like your Pete Dorries and Kelly Margetts able and willing to coach and train a group.

Hey Sunny Coast crew Sondra and I will be back up your way this weekend, so if anyone is keen we'll be doing a surf session 5am Saturday ( I know it's early but we've got a lot to fit in) from Cotton Tree jetty. Hope to see ya there

hi kelly, always great to have you up and learn more , is it a surf session, ins and outs and 12'6 or more longer stuff and bring 14ft

Another great session from Kelly this morning. Awesome turnout (apart from Swanie sleeping in.... Meow).

Really appreciate the time and knowledge donated from both Kelly and Sondra. It's just what the sunny coast needed.

Cheers

Yep 100% correct. Got there as they were packing up. 16 hour day prior might have had a bit to do with it.


Seriously.... Love what Kelly does and if I could talk the Sunshine Coast Council to offer him enough to move here I would. Your crew is bloody lucky to have him.
