Red thumbs seem a bit rich?? Ant what Pete doing a good thing getting people into the sport advancing people already involved that intern gets these punters buying boards / new boards from the shops which gives them more money to pay for advertising on here.. Isn't that winning ?

It's basically about agreeing or disagreeing with a post or comment, green thumb (I agree or like) red thumb (I disagree, disapprove, hate your guts, hate you, like to cause friction, like a good argument or something along those lines)
you get two (2) or three(3) per day, just coz.
It's also an enomenus unamonus where no one knows who thumbed

Ok In the process now of organizing a Melbourne clinic.
Looking at the weekend after Aussie SUP Titles. How does that sound?
16/17 November.

Sounds great Pete. We have a race on the Saturday morning at The ZU but otherwise the weekend is clear. Maybe you could enter the race and kick our arse on the Saturday morning and then spend the rest of the weekend showing us how you did it.

Pete dont suppose you would look at organising something for the South Coast of NSW, that way us Canberra people could make the trek and get some technique hints :)

I was going to give you a red thumb for that PT.. "re Pete Dorries kick'n our arse's" but it got cancelled twice, one by the idea of the Zu Race and then one for the potential Pete's Clinic, so your one green up on the ledger...ok

Here is some footage from his Clinic on Northern End
Great feedback from people who attended and will be done again in about 6 weeks.

Funny some people feel that the cost is high! In Adelaide, I just wish we had the opportunity to go to such a clinic.

I thought it looked cheap to be honest. Compare it with a windsurfing clinic from someone equivalent to Pete in experience and you would be looking at a few hundred dollars I would have thought. Mate of mine is doing some virtual technique training and this is costing him heaps more.

I attended the session and, given that it went for almost 3.5 hours, I think it is definitely more than worth the money. I picked up a lot of pointers on technique and training, but in addition, found out from Pete that the paddle I was sold is completely wrong for me (for racing) and that what is now recommended (and used by the top racers) has changed significantly from when I bought a paddle 18 months ago.

I can't wait for an opportunity to do one of these clinics, I think I am now starting to get to the stage where I could really benefit from clinics like this :) And from the improvement that I have seen in other people that have done clinics with Peter I'd say the $80 is well worth the money.
