The GF and I are thinking of heading down for the big event this year.....can someone please advise where the best place to camp is - we have a campervan which makes us pretty self sufficient but its always nice if there is a hot shower around - so a camping ground is fine by us. We would like to be close to the beach for ease of access. Any help would be most appreciated so we can book a spot early.
Also I came across this the other day and noted that the big fella from the yellow board company maybe coming - any truth to the rumours?
Thursday 25th - Sunday 28th November 2010
30th MAMBO MERIMBULA CLASSIC
The world's longest running, wave sailing competition
The Mambo Merimbula Classic, incorporating the Naish Sup Sessions, will be held from Thursday 25th to Sunday 28th November 2010.
It's the 30th annual event and the Merimbula Sailboard Club are expecting to see Wave sailors, Kite surfers and Sup surfers from around the world.
The club welcomes participants of all ages, and with all levels of experience, to join in the four days of action and fun, both on and off the water.
99% confirmed that some overseas visitors from past will be coming back. Robby Naish of Naish windsurfing kiting and now SUP fame coming over from Hawaii with Randy Naish.
I was thinking about Mambo today as well. Anyone know what the timetable for events is yet. I have a mates wedding on the weekend but I am keen to get down during the week if anything is on.
Guys, the actual competition runs everyday with SUP each morning. It is pretty 'freestyle' around that with missions each day to local breaks.
The Beach to Bar SUP off will be on the weekend and I am sure there will be plenty of DW's organised this year.
Its going to be HUGE! Definitely worth crossing the ditch! 
See you guys there again this year.. It's gunna be huge.
I think Robby and Randy Naish were there last year.. Didn't anyone else see them.. 
Don't stand too close to Casso if you've got your arse hanging out of your shorts.
Let's hope we get a big Q'landers turn up again.. Don't let Marty take the 17.. 
Is Ben Dover (Jake) still paddling?
Every morning started like this.
And every wave was a party wave.. .. Let's hope it's a bit bigger this year..

Mambo is a smoking event,
Its the spirit of cooperation and good will that brings the vibe to it.
The BBQ food makes master chef creations look like romper room for cooks but you do need a Jenny Craig voucher and beef up the springs before you head home.
DJ I hope you have a couple of DW cooked up for this year!
Looks like there is a SUP fishing comp on too (more details to come).
As usual it will be demo board heaven
Couldnt recommend it enough!

Daughter #1 spending 2 weeks in Japan in September.
Daughter #2 and wife want to holiday in China in 2011.
This separate holidays thing starting to look attractive.
I heard a rumor that it is no longer the "Mambo" event, just the "Merimbula Wave Classic".
Angie, you holding out on us???

Corona are giving us a heap of beer and $10k to spend on limes.
Robbie Naish has to go to Thanksgiving but Randy,not having any religion,is coming over.
The Balmoral Boards beach to bar and back to beach again relay is on again Maybe we should re-name it the Bal Immoral B2Band B2B.
There's a 30th birthday party on Saturday night with prizes for oldest comp T shirt and a fashion parade..the 30th party will also be on Friday and Thursday and Sunday nights as well.and if in Merimbula early its on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday.
This year Seabreeze is sponsoring the weather so the waves will be six feet and tubing.Glassy mornings till ten then nor'easters to 25knots then SUPs can have Bar and wave sailors can carve the Bar to beach section whilst the kites can go ape down the beach.
Happy hour is from 3 to 6pm.
If you haven't met him yet SUPpers Uncle Craig is coming so be on best behaviour
We are doing our very best to try and get the any of the Angulo boy's to come, Josh, Mark or Ed! They've just come back from Bali where they were testing the 2011 range of SUP's. Were hoping to have them with us at our Angulo Display. Hopefully we'll have an answer soon (fingers crossed).
Not long to go now, think there is a sizable Vicco crew coming up this year!
Just wondering how we will stack all these + 2 x 14'0 boards on the roof and still be able to speed thorough the drive throughs on the way?
Details, details
