I have emailed the Mal club about adding the Ladies Unlimited & Ladies SUP Surf Heat and when I hear back I will let you know.

I would start trying to get a good following now (Ladies) as if they don't get the numbers they will pull the divisions that have the least attendance.

Thanks Jodie. I know there'll be at least 3 girls from the Gold Coast who would like to race on boards 14ft or bigger.

As for the surfing, if they held a womens SUP surf event I would be in it for sure. Maybe they could consider a womens division that's not a 'PRO' event, just to encourage the girls to get involved (there doesn't necessarily have to have prize money up for grabs). I'm considering entering the surf event anyhow, but it would be really great if we could have a girls division, and if the numbers are low they could maybe run a two-final format (to give the girls a chance to have 2 surfs) and take points from both to decide a winner?

Womens Surf category would be great. I would consider entering though I would have to save to come over from the west!

I totally agree ali cat! :)

There needs to be a womens sup surf division- there is definatley alot of interest and i think it would be great for promoting the sport to fellow girls.

There is also a limited number of entries for the SUP event if more ladies enter or the Ladies enter early - that would make a big impact.

So don't just write about it here get your entries in!!!!

you will find out the sup event is planned into the festival and they wont change the format because of time,sup to them is second class anyway but they know it is a big ticket event with luke and tc etc,girls,when we can get our event going,noosa beachboys sup club that is,we will have ladies and age division as long as we can get the starters,we are hoping for an event at noosa next year.for now you will just have to compete with the guys.be patient,your turn will come

Just heard from Phil

No discounts on second entries this year I'm afraid. Final schedule not set but races most likely Sun 14, SUPS surf middle to late week with finals at weekend.

last year they ran it all on one day which was great for all the crew that booked a full weeks accomodation.
