Hey Phill, The 8'10" will be there but I'm not sure about the 8'0".
It starts at 10am, see original post for details. Will be good to see you there!

DJ, Shoreham is the name of the town, Pines is the break. We have to use the name Shoreham so people can find the place as The Pines isn't in the Street Directory.

Town??.. It's like one shop isn't it?.. .. anyway it's a great place to have a demo.

Phill it will be good to see you and your family there.. .. I should have the grip masterpiece on my new snow board done by then..

Here's a better map.

www.whereis.com/vic/shoreham-3916/14-beach-rd?id=B6BE7A952C06F

If you use a GPS the address is:

Beach Road, Shoreham, Victoria

Beach Rd is at the bottom of the dip in the 90k zone.

High tide is around midday and the reef is pretty much bare two hours before and after so if you want to surf at the Pines you need to be there between 10:00 and 2:00.

Hi OG,what is Kristi's current board length, the one in the video

Yeah the day was planned around the tides. You would know this Gorgo but for others that don't know tide is critical down there as the wave heights can vary up to 3ft between high and low tides.

Tomorrow SHQ will provide a full list of boards that will be available to demo on the day.

Hey Rod,

I will wip that young wipper snapper into gear, hey one more board 46 ha no problemo.

Pass the prescription drugs!

Phill

That sounds great - I just want to add a couple of small personal requests.

3m swell
0 - 5knott NW wind
SUNSHINE

Who is going to be coming down?
Bring some friends cos there is going to be plenty of boards to go around!!

I'm planning to come on Sunday, to demo a few boards... sounds like it's going to be a great day!

however I also want to try a board test with a difference....

My new work car is a Toyota Prius (yeah I know I can hear you laughing ) and I don't think work will allow me to put on a set of roof racks.... my Starboard 12'6"will stick out a bit :)

So I want to find a board, floaty enough for a 90kg person that will fit in the inside of my work car...

At the moment I can fit a mini mal surfboard (8'6") with room to spare and if I go windsurfing I can fit two sailboards (Carve 122/FSW101) in with masts booms and sails etc....

For it's size it has room but the question is will it be roomy enough for a SUP????

Any suggestions on what to try on Sunday will be appreciated.

Cheers
Rick

PS I would mainly use this SUP for down the coast in the waves
