Good to see so many sponsors getting behind these events.
I'll try and bring up the "other Shire hard men" and a few willing bodies from the Gong for the next series.
Yeh it was a cool morning. Some great paddling. Well done Sammy. Also a special mention to one paddler who made a classic finish. Hoping Casso got it on film :)

You blokes are all mad, it was a terrible paddle into the wind, but the ASN pre workout what did that do into the wind.............round some flippin big rock.........with even bigger flippin big houses and boats, there's no boats like that in the shire!!!!! and then coming back the wind stopped...........how does that happen the wind is supposed to build through the day.......oh and like it wasn't 5 kms it was 6.8 km false advertising I say...........and to top it off I only got 1 & 1/2 sausages..........bugger me..........and then won a paddle like i need another paddle.............

Nice mix of boards up front.
1st Naish Jav MC14
2nd Starboard Ace Pro 14 x 25
3rd Starboard Ace 14 x 25
4th F-One 14'. Looked pretty.http://rms.blastpaddlers.org/results/show/681
Just a bugger I had too run off before the sausage's were ready. Didn't sound like they lasted long in the end though.
Sam.
4th F-One 14'x 29 Looked pretty great board for the ballance challanged (me)
I can't believe that was your first race Mal. Awesome job and thanks for making the trip from the Central Coast. Almost travelled as far as the Shire folk.
Thanks Sam.
Not first, my first race was SUPA at The Entrance channel on a borrowed board.
Now i have my own Board
I did the Naish River Race as well.
So had a couple of races, but that was the longest, and i could feel it
Me and my wife had a great time.Love the whole friendly and encouraging vibe that you get from the Sydney sup race community.
Definitely will be entering more races.I better start trainning for longer than 5K races.
