Now this should make the cover shot of the next Australian Paddle Surfer Magazine!!!
Next Sunday SUPSA will run it's first champions day, note the plural "champions", it's for a reason. When starting out (again) back in March of this year, we wanted to make the days as family friendly as possible and over the year we have seen that happen with Mums, Dads, Kids and even Grandparents coming along and enjoying good times and having a fantastic day. So everyone who has come along and participated in having fun throughout the year, your a champion!! So it was obvious that our second last event for the year should be a day for all the champions.
Below are the three races we are running, one course for the serious racers, a course for the paddlers looking for a seriously fun time and also a race for teh biggest champion, the kids that have got out there and tried something new and in the process have got hooked on SUP.
The Serious Racers will have a Mens and Womens class, as will the Serious Fun Racers. The kids will go in two age groups, up to 12 years of age (boys and girls go as one) and then 12 years of age and over (boys and girls go together).
SUPSA is donating a trophy for the winner of each race (kids included) and the prize pool starting to come together as well with the following already on board;
- Flametree Park Hair Design
- Von Piros Productions
- Greenline Stand Up Paddle Surf
- Zurich Insurance Australia
- Queensland Fire Service (We have two copies of the Fire Calender for 2010 personally signed by Mr August.... stoked!!!)

The prize pool will no doubt fill up over the next few days so watch this space but in the meantime anyone wanting to donate please feel free to contact me here or on [email protected]

This is truly shaping up to something HUGE!!!

Can any one enter this event?

yes

as long as you pay your membership fees on the day, so you and SUPSA are covered by Insurance. Those wishing to enter who are not SUPSA members please PM me so we can sort out.

Chris

Hey Chris, it was a pleasure to meet with you today and really enjoyed the chat

Happy to support the club and look forward to seeing the winners of our prizes in-store, good luck guy's and girls. I'll, more than likely be working on the day

mac

See I am not really the grumpy old longboarder (who dose not exist) as Lacey stated

mac

hey chris,

do you need another bbq so we can burn some snags instead of boiling them. got a smaller portable one i can bring.

cheers, darryl.

wouldn't be the first bbq to promote alcoholism!!! will throw mine in the ute just in case there is a crowd and cooked snags are scarce.

Guys and Gals, am absolutely blown away with the support that SUPSA has recieved over the past year and now I am just totally gob smacked.
Mark Waldeck (alias Lacey) has just offered up his Starboard 7"2 as a prize for this Sunday to the best overall performer in the kid's divisions.

That's right, one little nipper will leave Palm Beach Parklands on Sunday the proud owner of a new (used) 7'2 Starboard Stand Up Paddle board.

Mark, thanks for that buddy, absolutely fantastic!!!!
Chris

And to think I was just about to PM him and offer him $650 for it, so close!!!

Hi All,

Sorry I won't be able to make this one as I am only arriving back from China Monday morning.

SUPSA has really appreciated all of your support this year. We will be having our end of year meeting next month as well as the AGM. Chris and I are extremely busy at work and we could really appreciate some assistance on the committee next year.

Please don't be afraid to put your hands up as we really want SUPSA to keep on going from strength to strength next season.

Take care
Mike

Now that sounds like an offer I can't refuse,if you'll have me

i'm flat out coming to terms with a club that would have me as a member, little lone 62mac being on the committee- just kidding

Good luck to all on Sunday we fly out in the morning for PNG , there is a few Von Piros shirts up for grabs on Sunday

Thanks Mac I picked up a 7 foot tall inflatable green thong today , I reckon we will get some funny stuff with that in the surf.

Now, for the kids there is something really special on top of all of this. Mark Waldeck has very generously donated a STARBOARD 7'2 Stand Up Paddle Board to be awarded to the best overall performer in the the kids divisions. That's right, a little nipper WILL leave Palm Beach Parklands on Sunday the proud owner of a new Stand Up Paddle Board, how good is that. Mark will be watching the kids events very closely.

So don't forget, 8.00am registration at Palm Beach Parklands and we will get the kids events away first at around 8.30am.

Good luck everyone but most of all, hope you have a fun day.

Bugger Bugger Bugger!!!!!

CAN EVERYONE NOTE THAT WE WILL POSTPONE TODAY'S EVENT DUE TO THE WEATHER. THE SHOWERS LOOK LIKE SETTING THEMSELVES UP TO COME IN WAVES FOR THE DAY. IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE FAMILIES AND KIDS TO RUN THIS IN WET AND CLOUDY WEATHER, AND IT'S NOT FAIR ON THE SPONSOR'S TO RUN ON A DAY THAT WILL SEE THEM GET ANYTHING LESS THAN MAXIMUM EXPOSURE. I WILL GO DOWN TO PALM BEACH PARKLANDS AND HANG AROUND TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT SHOW UP BUT IF YOU CAN ALL SPREAD THE WORD IT WILL BE APPRECIATED.

THANKS CHRIS
