The 2011 Onboard Robe Easter Classic is on again! Running over the Easter weekend from the 22nd to the25th April, we can promise a great weekend away with a combination of Wavesailing, Kitesurfing and SUPing. The event format is a simple 4 day expression session with an emphasis on waveriding and just having a good time. SUP waveriding heats and Downwind race planned. Also a social paddle for the ladies on Sunday morn, a wine ta...sting tour and a sports specific stretch sess to unwind.
Riders of all standards are encouraged to take part!! Sponsored by Onboard, Coopers, Redbull, Neilpryde, Cabrinha, Fanatic, North, Slingshot and the local guys at the Robe Bakery, Robe Butcher shop and the Robe Hotel! Apart from the riding, the traditional Friday Night Party at 3rd Ramp promises to be a big one with, Free Coopers and Redbull for all participants!!! Stewie is organizing a taxi to ferry crew from Robe to 3rd ramp on the night so call the store for further details!
Entry this year is $50.00, including a Coopers Showbag, Free Coopers and Redbull, BBQ lunch and the 2011 Robe Easter Classic Hoodie!!! Signing up is from the 10th of March. To ensure that you get your size and colour hoodie you want, I recommmend gettng into Onboard soon after that date.

Brendan,
This year, its looking like the sup will be at 3rd ramp to decide the finalists and provide some fun/intermedate level conditions, then the finals at Stonies Rise which is a regular shortboarding spot, obviously conditions dependant. Late dates for easter so hopefully some good swell and light winds.
Cheers,
Scott

Hey OG
There were three women last year in the Sup and I'm nearly positive there will be double that this year.
The more the merrier ( and we don't stand out the back discussing knitting either...lol)

Be an in the water, all weekend, weekend. (maybe stop for a minuite for a pale and pizza).
Some quality waves around the other side too!
Get on it for sure.

Hey Scotty, is Stonies Rise a left or right hander?
I've been to robe probably 15+ times for new years and a few Robe Easter classics.
Would have to be one of my favorite places. I was probably last there around 2000.
Yeah from what I remember it was always a great event, just like the Mambo on a smaller scale. Kegs of beer, waves, driving on the beach to the spot you chose to surf.
Good times!
Is the golf course still there?
