Ok SUP Nuts, only 10 x days till the Noosa BOP race.....
I know of about 40 plus paddlers that are going and haven't entered.
I will be doing beach entries on the day but it will cost you a beer after the race. It's a major pain in the ass if 20 turn up last minute and I'll get very drunk that night!
So if you are going can you please ENTER BEFORE the 5th March..
To dangle a carrot, I'm going to give away as a lucky dip prize this Kenalu Paddle bag to one lucky entrant who signs up before the 5th March...... Cheers Jonesyhttp://www.kenalu.com.au/products-page/accessories-apparel/double-paddle-carry-bag/

Noosa BOP…... Update.
I’ve had a lot of people contacting me recently regarding the amateur course at this years Noosa BOP race.
The course isn’t set in stone yet and I’ll be making the final decision when I’m setting the buoys one hour before the race.
But I can say if the surf is very small and the weather conditions are excellent the amateur course will be the same as the pro course only one lap shorter.
Please keep the enquiries and any suggestions coming in.
Cheers Jonesyhttp://www.noosafestivalofsurfing.com/nfos15/sup-race-details/
Question
Hey Jonesy.........What's a pro and what's a amateur and who decides that in this years Noosa BOP race.
"Whats a Pro ?", bloody good question. Maybe it's how many sponsor stickers you have on your board Ha Ha Ha! No seriously it's up to the individual and what they think they are capable of. Each person can decide if they are ready to go in the Pro event (surfing in and out of waves, beach run, 12'6 board and up to 7K in length) or the Amateur event (any board length, mostly in Laguna Bay, maybe small waves, maybe beach run and 4-5K in length)....... hope that has answered your question. Cheers Jonesy
UPDATE
Mondayitis has you by the scruff of the neck, But Doc Jones has good news.
The RipCurl Maroochydore shop have kindly sponsored the Noosa BOP race.
I've got 4x $50 dollar gift certificates to give away and 3x prizes.... :-)
So my prescription is, take 1x Noosa BOP race entry form, compete and let the next 5x days roll on.... Happy days!
