How was the weekend? Did you get any waves? Was there more of a traditional BOP race this event? When is the final in Mandurah?

Hi all,
Results, photos (more to come soon) and some commentary thanks to Surfing WA on Round 2:
"The weekend also included Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) heats and racing. Considered to be one of the fastest growing segments of the sport, SUP competitor made their way to Denmark in record numbers.
In the SUP surf divisions; brothers Rick and Jake Jakovich (Gracetown) were unstoppable winning all their heats on route to the final. Rick was in blistering form in the final, opening the heat with an excellent 8.00 point ride and was then able to back it up on his final wave with a 7.00 to finish with a combined total of 15.00 pts (from a possible 20). Finishing in second was Jake Jakovich who came into the event as one of the hot favourites after winning the opening event in Yallingup. The two brothers now share the ratings lead after both winning an event each thus far.
Placing in third was 2011 SUP State Champion Brett Mason (Yallingup) with Rahn Goddard (City Beach) in fourth.
The Jakovich brothers power turns on their forehand and backhand, combined with their use of the paddle will surely see them as contenders come National Titles.
Amanda Griffiths (Cottesloe) won the SUP Open Women's final from Margaret River's Genene Berry in second and Michelle England (Scarborough) battled injury to finish in third, in what was WA's first ever women's SUP event to be contested."
