Hey Jeremy,

I'm pretty sure there aren't any hire places in Tassie.
We are a bit small and most stuff is ordered for immediate delivery, so not even shop stock to "take for a test run".

Sorry

However if I'm wrong it would be so cool

hi jeremy, if you are going to be around the carlton area let me know and you can borrow one off me.

I think this link will give you Brian Hughes' contact number - awesome guy and a wealth of knowledge. If you have any trouble getting in contact with him, PM me and I will track down his number for you.

i may be wrong but i thing the Red Herring surf shop in hobart may do rentals or if not they would be able to sort you out with who does. They are affiliated with a surf school that i think has SUP's

Hi everyone.

Hey fellow Taswegians, great to hear there are a few more SUP riders getting about in Tas. There are about 10 of us now on the NW coast! It might be time to have a fun event and do some downwinders soon. Coles bay to Swansea in a NE could be fun.

If anyone is looking at getting a downwind board, I have a Naish 12ft glide AST for sale in the buy and sell that would be perfect for someone wanting to get into their 1st downwind board at a great price. Asking $950 but very negotiable. I have a 9ft Naish mana there as well for $1200 but again very negotiable for anyone wanting something more high performance in the surf.

Give me a call 0417 144 994 keen to catch up with more Tas Suppers

I can drop off in Hobart too.

We kind of have one forming inside the Tasmanian Kitesurfing Association because those of us who started it are all now mad keen on SUP. We could spin something off though. We have just ordered an inflatable buoy to do a BOP race around too when we have a Sup event! Keen to do more soon.

its about bloody time we got a mention down here in colder waters. a sup club would be great to bring tassie up to date in sup world. i think the mainlanders would be niclely suprised with the standard . bring it on north v soulth surf comp

Ahhhh - I've started doing something those KITERS do - ahh now all hope is lost.
