"It shows a real change in acceptance for this to happen and we need as many people as possible to attend even if you dont surf to show support!"

Spot on phil, meet a guy a couple of weeks ago in the car park whilst [b]soul was having an event, and there was big engouragemnt to join this weekend. So if you can get down there do it,
Ps I can't go due to family stuff, but will try and get down to the other events with bassup
cheers matt

Can't hardly wait!!!!

Thanks to everyone who came along for the Soul Day, ended up being great fun! The spirt the day was run in was awesome even in quite trying conditions at times.

SUPS surfing against long and short boards is a real eye opener to say the least. In windy conditions the paddle out is definitely in favour of the prone guys. Paddling on the advantage is with the SUPS, in staying on in 25kn+ cross shore I recon was about even.

Sparks AKA "Sparkles" was the stand out and took out the SUP Division with Kristi coming in second.

Rich, Revvin and Co took some keen new comers to the Barwon River for a lesson and then went on to the spit for a great session in clean conditions and had a ball. Lucky bastards.

Huge effort by Anthony Brown top longboarder who paddled out on a SUP for the first time in near impossible condition and gave it an all time go. Didnt phase him one bit, hes up for another run in better conditions. He then paddles out on a shorty and came second in the SUP / Short board heat just to show us he can surf anything.

The whole day was all about fun and that showed from start to finish, it was a real credit to Brian and the Soul Commitee.

Topped of with a few bears and some talking story afterwards it was an fantastic day.

Thanks to the Soul Guys for including BASSUP in the event which I believe is now going to be done Annually.
