Hi All,
Im a recent convert to this suping business and am totally hooked. After purchasing a fanatic ray a couple of months ago I've been out fairly regularly doing 8-12k runs in the canning. Usually a loop front the mt Henry to Riverton bridge and back early on a weekend morning. A little frustrated at the moment as I can't seem to average more than 6-6.5 km/h (according to the tomtom gps) over that distance and I don't feel like I'm dawdling - I'm giving it a decent go! I'd say my stroke rate is over 50 per minute and trying to use good form. I consider myself reasonably fit.
Does anyone else paddle around there who'd be willing to come out for a paddle earlt on a weekend morning and give me a few pointers? Are there any Sup clubs / groups that use the canning regularly for training looking for a keen newbie?!
Cheers to all for any replies / pointers to improve speed!

Goochi,
Thanks for the response. Sounds like a great event, I'll try and get up there!
i think there used to be a SUPWA pod that trained around deepwater point although I can't find any contact details on the website- do you know if it still exists?
cheers

HI Jaffa
Yes there used to be a Deep Water Point Pod a couple of years ago. They now train with Fremantle. There are two pods at Fremantle, training 0530 in the morning.
1. Bicton Pod - Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Meet at Bicton Baths
2. Fremantle Pod - Tues, Thurs & Saturday. Meet at Swan Yacht Club
All levels, All welcome. (Fremantle can be a bit more intense on a 12' board though - but if you like to train hard it's great!)
