I would be keen to bring my boards down if I can fit it in with when I am coming down next from up north.

Would love to Tony but probably not till February sometime, sorry. I am on holiday with the family most of January and plan to be SUP'ing and kiting in the following locations if anyone wants to catch up for a demo. I will be at Peggs Beach near Stanley on the 6th & 7th of January, Bicheno from the 15th - 20th of January and Marrawah from the 25th till the 29th of January. Should have some Fanatic Allwaves by then and I have a Starboard wide point 9'5" you can try as well, along with a range of Naish paddles.

Cheers Ben Taskite & SUP

PM me if you want to catch up!

Benk, if huey is smiling on us maybe we could include a downwinder in the arvo.

Better put some rail tape on

Yes, you're on the ball.......

riverider just called me into his office

told me to stop throwing silly numbers around

He suggested FEB 8

Tides just right for the river etc

Yes, Feb 11 sounds good

It's a Saturday

But we will have to bounce it off Riverider.

I don't want to get another call into the office.

As far as bringing boards along .. well .. bring everything

The big retailer/stockists down this end of the island are not involved in this type of activity.

We do more deals out of area or with on-the-beach entheusists who have contacts.

Brian from Bicheno ... he brings his stuff down here and does demos and workshops
an he has a go but he lives a hell of a long way from here.

Hope Brian and his mob can also make it on the day.

February 11th might be a goer. Tony I have 8'10" & 9'2" Allwaves ordered that should be here any day. I could bring a 12'6" Fanatic race board down too if any one is interested in going for a spin.

i can't the 11th but 12th would be good ?

also no one is stepping on anyone toes as this is just something where we are just meeting up, its not been run by anyone and everyone is welcome, just making a date and venue.

i also have a 12'6" fanatic, what if we run a match race, best southerner paddler against the best from up north over 1km, the northeners can buy us a slab of cascade when we win, or if buy chance the north win we would give them a voucher for a slab of boags !

Had a working breakfast with Riverider at the bakery, after checking the swell.

Looks like the big South Tas Demo Day .. STDD .. will be on the 12th FEB.

At the Carlton River mouth.

Tide is perfect all morning and remains good up till 2:00 PM.

We're keen to have a race for the big boards.

Riverider is doing a lot behind the scene.

There are some interesting developments ... should be a great day.

Hope the weather gods are smiling.

Hello Nick

Hope you can make it on the day.

Swell .. yes .. it kicked

Just like the forecasters said it would

I had another look at low tide and it was going off.

Mixture of sup, short, long, clubbies, boogies and fence palings .. EVERYTHING.
and everyone having a ball.

We ARE talking about the south tas demo day.

SUNDAY 12TH FEB.

Bring your own used gear for sale.

Retailers and manufacturers all welcome.

Surfing and racing.

The biggest SUP demo since Ian Grose came down 12 months ago

with a van full of Starboard goodies.

What will you be bringing to the demo ?

i am bringing

Suplove 8'10" challenger
Fanatic 12'6" fly race
Starboard 12'6" cruiser (this maybe for sale)

That's a good idea DJ

We'll have a think about it.

TL

You could buy a new board Riverider

But which one ?

You would have to go on the trip to find out.

looks like we have a clash with the "Hobart Cup Race Day" but for all those race goers you should be able come to the demo and then have time to frock up and get to the cup.

if anyone has a board for sale (in tassie) they are welcome to email me an add for it and i will put a copy of it in the "showbag" that will be handed out on the day.
