Hi Guys,

I am going to run a SUP Fun Day at Ocean Grove Main Beach on the 13th of June 2009 starting at 9.00am. All welcome so bring the kids as well.

We were going to run it as a comp but quite frankly the permits, insurance and 50 other issues are doing my head in! LOL

The event details are in the SUP Events Calender at the side of the Forum Page.

Use the link to log onto my site and leave your details in the feed back form just so we have an idea of proposed numbers for the day.

Hope to see you there

Hey First Point,

The local longboard club SOUL have been fantastic and I really appreciate their help and support.

With the insurances etc people either have to become a member of Surfing Vic approx $55 or a member of the longboard club to be covered. Then even with a small entry fee etc to cover basic costs per head your looking at maybe $75 plus.

We wanted this to be a fun day for people to come down try boards and bring the family along not away to invest Kevin Rudds cheque!

I have been told there is even worse issues with the flat water paddling on the Barwon with rescue craft required etc.

If we run it as a fun day with an expression session every one wins as it is just a social event.

Best regards

Phill.

For the Barwon flat paddle you just need someone with a little experience to follow the last person down the river to make sure everyone is alright. I could volenteer as I will be last anyway!

Thank You,

To all those who have responded via the feedback page on my site including the people from QLD.

I have had serveral questions about what skill level you have to have to attend.

The answer is:

Everyone of all skill levels as well as those who have never paddled before, kids, wives, husbands, partners, grandmas, granddads and friends are definitely welcome!








These are my 3 daughters Kristiana 13, Shaynesha 10 and Niki (11111111) This many the ones are fingers = 8

They are the hosts for the day or so they tell me and will do the meet and greet in the car park!

Apparently Kristi is also Rich's Photographer media adviser and official enterage???? ( I wish she wouldnt talk so fast)


The purpose of the day is to have FUN FUN FUN FUN.

There will be some experienced paddlers on hand to provide help and suggestions and relate experiences both good and lessons learned I am sure.

I am doing a clinic on how to remove a Methane Paddle from nether regions once it is wedged there by a wave. (Not for the kids to watch)

If the people I have met from the site so far are any indication then it will be a total blast!

Come and enjoy some OG hospitality.

Thank you also to those who have said they will help with the BBQ etc that would be great.

Camo,

Hope you make it , i'm please to see people are bringing the kids with them we will have a few surprises to ensure there are smiles all around.

Kristi said something about sand castle sculptures and other things.

All the kids (big and little) are going to get a pic on the OG Groms page of the site to show thier friends at school they can SUP.

Special prize for the most creative sup flat water and surf move.

Ideas include: The cockroach, the Quaszimodo (Mickey Munoz) etc so think hard.

You just have to get the creative thinking caps on and practice.

I hear there will be Pirates riding sups on the day!!!!! arrrrrrrrrr.

Go wild remember FUN FUN FUN

Correct FUN is what it's all about !

Matty from Global Surf Industries has kindly offered some demo boards to use for the day , these boards are perfect for learning the basic's with plenty of volume.

There may be some brand new models available to demo out also from McTavish !!!

Get down to the OG .

Rich,

Thanks so much to Matty from GSI and yourself for supporting the day thats awesome.

I have never seen any of the McTavish Sups so that will be really cool.

I heard a whisper that there may even be a 16ft flat water machine there on the day.

If people want to see our well kept secret and just how beautiful it is down this way then check out DJ's "Beautiful Barwon" thread.

We have secured some live jackets and I have 4 gath helmets for the kids as well.

Nesha wanted to post the Vid so that other kids can see you can rip on a SUP.

Oh and Nesha reminded me to say " Even Girls"

Again come down say hi bring the kids and lets have some FUN on the 13th June

Aloha Phill
