I think SOS are trying to get the latest 08 Simmers in time. Will be great to see those. The Simmer Icon was the choice of Victor Fernandez, who finished 2nd in the world in waves this year. Strange you don't see more of them around as they obviously work, so looking forward to seeing some in the flesh.
Bender, The drive up will certainly be worth it all the 08 gear from all the shops and you can try most of it, definately worth it. Add to that a marquee for the rest of the family to keep cool, a few freshly cooked snags to keep your energy up and some tunes with words from Rob Goyen.
The forcast is for a SE in the morning great for some of the bigger stuff building and swinging to over 20 knots Southerly. All time...
