I'd have to agree with those names but no Connor in the mix. He'd be pumped to try get back on top.

Also, what board is under Jakey's feet? LE or MC?

Yeah no doubt Conner will be in the mix and a few others too like Beau , Jacko but i could only pick five Im pretty sure Jake will be on the LE.

with luck, and you need luck in this race, kelly could go all the way this year.

he's been on fire at training and he's got a super fast board under his feet

You could pretty much name the top 10 and anyone of them are a possibility to win. Hopefully it is the Aussies who dominate and maybe the odd kiwi.

Lincoln and Kelly!! Can't beat an Aussie clubby, especially if there is a wave. If its flat I think we'll see some dark horses coming through.

I am interested to see if there is swell how they all go on the narrow boards. Could it come down to who falls least?

I'm tipping Danny Ching for the win surrounded by Aussies in the top 5. I hope I am wrong though on Danny.

i agree, guys with clubbie backgrounds just kill it. most of the top aussie guys do have that background. jacko being a notable exception.

they look at it in a different way then most of us from surfing backgrounds.

i tend to think the more surf there is the better the aussies will go

Kelly has been smashing everyone and anyone at training and is pumped for this one. If conditions are rough he'll be very hard to beat. That new LK is a rocket especially in the rough.

No live web cast this year,,a feature length cable TV show to come later , good idea to get the normal people to watch the race,I don,t know many normal people getting up at 3am to watch SUP Racing. I,ve said it before,,how good would the Ecstine brothers,Ali Day or Kenny Wallace go racing SUP?

Kenny Wallace did some cross training with our training squad a few times last year and yes he's very fast. He'll frighten a few people if he ever takes up SUP racing.

i'm not sure whats going on. another guy in our group has his name up there too and he said nothing about going there.

travis was adamant he wasn't going, he wanted too, but in his words he is no where near that level atm

Danny wins followed by Kia and then Connor... Then Slator, Mo, then Jamie with his damaged wrist.
