Hi All,

I will be over in W.A. for the week of the 16th-21st on sales trips to all the dealers.

I have spoke with the Auswind crew and have arranged to do a combined SUP demo on Saturday morning the 21st. June at the Dutch In @ Cottesloe from 7am - 10am. It will be a bit weather dependent, but probably a good chance to check out all the new gear in person. There will also be a SUP night during the week, but I will post confirmed times and day soon.

Regards,

JB

WM,

We'll be heading round all the major cities, and covering as much of the coast in between as we can, but it's a big country and time is out enemy. So we are flying to Perth, then flying to Adelaide, but I will probably drive from Adelaide to Melbourne and then up the east coast from there.

While we are in Perth, I will be paddling every morning I can also through the week, so I guess I will ride at Cottesloe, or near by, because thats were we are staying. So anyone is welcome to join me, I;m normally an early riser, so I will be out at first light each day.

if there is a glass off day with 2.5m+ swell running, you should try and drive an 1hr north or south ,,,i can think of a couple of spots where the wave will be long n clean......

i've got unlimited rdo's (unpaid)and hopefully will have a new board by then....

Saturday morning is still on. We will be at the beach as early as we can get up (we have a big night planned for tonight at S.O.S.) I am pretty sure that The Starboard guys are coming also, but I will give them a call to confirm.

So hopefully the NE wind will not be as strong as they are predicting, hope to see you all there. Aiming for 7:30am til about 11am.

Regards,

JB

just had a great session at scarbs / brighton - got 5 seriously walled up right handers - waves i would have even considered to be pretty good on my normal surfboard. plenty of little lefts and rights too - banks are good till around 12.00 when the low tide gets the better of it. Quite a few gutters and rips around. TONS OF FUNTO BE HAD - d

if the swell is similar or smaller you might want to head for that bit of the coast - to really giet he surfing feel.

For general newby action though - dutchies should be a millpond.

Yeah Im gonna give dutchies the flick JB.
The northern reefs or beachies are a better wave on high tide.
My fun hours are booked in for the morning only. Then its family time for the rest of the day Oops I mean

Hey JB when your in Hawaii next say hi to Sunny Garcia for me... hes an old mate of mine. Hes a really nice guy

Btw how did the demo go?
Miller and I went to 3rd car park. Dumpy closeouts and the weekend warrior crew got a bit too much so went for the very very sneaky at 1st reef. Saw Kitersi at his local and an unknown SUPer at metts.
Tide was way too high and the wind kicked in about 15knots NE so it was time to call it quits

LMAO I like you DJ. You are relaxed and have a real good sense of humour... not like those stuffed fwf shirts on the east coast
Yes I know John but not personally as I dont buy stuff from his shop.
So when are you driving your SUP mobile to the west DJ? Make sure you look me up. Im really a nice guy... seriously

Come to Gnaraloo with us in Oct/Nov this year?
Bring your windsurfing gear, surfboards and SUPs
You can stay at my place (or Johns from SOS) to gain the feeling back in your legs from the long drive across. Then prepare for the 12 hour drive north to The Big G

I'm sure there was a question here somewhere asking how I come to know John from SOS..but it seems to be gone now..or am I on the wrong thread.

Sorry I was a bit slow to reply....I am happy to answer if anyone still cares..
