Just received this info on the QLD State Titles from Surfing Queensland...
2012 will see Surfing Queensland expand the range of paddleboard and stand up paddleboard opportunities available to the state's best exponents of the rapidly expanding discipline.
The 2012 Surfing Queensland SUP & Ocean Paddle Festival will be activated over the Queen's Birthday Long Weekend (June 9-11, 2012). The three-day festival will provide the exclusive qualification pathway for Queensland athletes aiming to compete at the 2012 Australian SUP titles in the disciplines of:
- SUP Surfing
- SUP Technical Sprint Racing
- SUP Long Course Racing (Xcel Open Ocean Paddleboard Race)
The Pathway
1. 2012 Surfing Queensland SUP & Ocean Paddle Festival
2. 2012 Australian SUP Titles (August, 2012)
3. 2013 International Surfing Association Paddleboard & SUP World Championships.
Qualification for Aussie Titles is based on the results from this event and allocation is:
SUP Surfing: 4 x Open Men, 2 x Open Women, 2 x Over 40 Open
SUP Technical Sprint Racing (12'6 class): 8 x Open Men, 4 x Open Women, 4 x Over 40 Open
SUP Marathon (14' class): 8 x Open Men, 4 x Open Women, 4 x Over 40 Open
There will be other classes available for the marathon (Snapper to Currumbin) but the 14' class will be the qualifying class and will include a longer course within Currumbin Creek (rather than the usual finish of the XCEL race).
A special offer of $165 is available to competitors who enter all three disciplines (SUP Surfing, Sprint Racing & Long Course Racing). Simply enter all three components of the festival in your respective division and contact Surfing Queensland via email
