Gusty stuff by all who competed. Big Props to the SUPSA crew for putting together a really well run race.
Awesome stuff! Any more pics or vids to come? Great effort by the organizers and sponsers to see it a success. Well done to all those that went in it. I really wish I had gone in this one.......
Great Pics Rob, looked like an intense race with the conditions.
A question, why are the top guys all on 12'6"s for a DW race? I have just gotten hold of a 2nd hand 12'6" and love it for DW but I assumed most of the top guys would race 14s or 17s.
from my understanding, and could be wrong, is that BOP would be the biggest SUP race/prize pool. It is 12.6 for the main event. Some of the overseas events have gone 12.6 due to travel logisitics I think, so atm this is the most popular size and attracts the money. The ISA world titles has gone with 12.6 also...so I guess that means the pro's will focus on that size.
this is by no means a statement on best size for an event. IMO that would be 12.6 for surf/BOP, 14 class for flat water sprints and down winders and a unlimited class for DW....just an opinion
I woke up and had 2 things I could do....one was go do the race, the other some car stuff........I took the 2nd option and chose to destroy my truck.
troy mainly had the money on the 12'6 s because most of the guys would have had their 14'ers still in wa.
if you want to dw get the 14'er.
seriously, these guys are really good, most of us aren't.
asked travis about this one time and he said we are making them go fast.
the general public are still going to be off on a 14' er for starters
cheers
Good photo's Rob
Excellent work by the SUPSA Club. Great comments and a good vibe from all who support SUP racing.
Congratulations to all who competed under trying conditions as they got great DW conditions.
