I'm just doing a little research on the industry. Anyone want to have a guess as to how may SUP'ers (all formats) there are in Australia (and NZ, I suppose)?

Dunno. I don't know what the answer is. I just wanted to get everyone's thoughts/estimations.

More relevant is that fact that you've FINALLY changed your avatar-still needs updating to a shot of you on the DC 808 ripping one off the top.

This is good feedback to a silly question. Thanks. Might be better to do what some of you already have and have a shot at how many SUP'ers in your suburb, town, region (instead of trying guess the total Aussie population).

Mine - Mona Vale to Warriewood stretch = about 6.

Total members signed up to the Sydney Paddle Surfing Club already = 36 (plenty more in Sydney than that though).

only one at Moffats again this morning.

The most I have seen in the water at one time was the other Sunday arvo at m/ba river mouth
total 10

Through all the swell the last 6 months never seen more than 4 in the water at Noosa at one time.

5 at the state titles at Coolum

If Swanies figures are accurate , thats 170 on the sunny . There must be a lot of Stand ups on the racks every week end.

More activity in the distance /downwind/flat water races

Will we get like Dana Point , Calif? 50 SUPS in the water at one time.
200 in the battle of the paddle,

Having too much fun to worry.

I'd say 10 - 15 regulars in Mermaid Beach (Gold Coast). There always seems to be between 2 & 5 out at Burleigh when I venture down that way.

Only surfed an SUP once so far but we'll see how we go.

Good one Simon. Welcome to the 'Breeze. You should come check out the inaugural Sydney Paddle Surfing Club event at Long Reef Beach from 7:30am on Sunday 9 August. Or if you are really keen, sign up today at www.spsc.com.au

Hey Casso, I reckon i know 90% of the regular SUP surfers on the Tweed Coast by name, so i wrote down the names and it comes to 16 (14 male + 2 female). Plus about another 6 of the 14 guys' wives/partners who like to stillwater paddle in the creeks. The blokes include a former Qld State of Origin and Wallaby legend who is quite handy. Of the 16, 5 are pretty much on the SUP fulltime, another 6 are 50/50 SUP and shortboard and the other 5 are mostly shortboard surfers who get on the SUP from time to time for some fun. Hope that helps, good luck tallying up all these posts!
