Dan has arraigned for a paddle steamer surfing comp to be held in 2012..

I can imagine paddlers spaced up the river so after about 400 meters one surfer drops off as another drops on and the judges can sit on the back of the boat.

surprisingly enough i happened to be on board the Captain Proud, a side wheeler out of Murray Bridge only last week.

as you can see you can


surf with a buddy on both the left and right hander although getting the old girl to go faster than 4 knots might be a problem. nice conditions though with the eveving glass off

Probably wouldn't want to be doing that right now, you would look like a giant lure for the man in the grey suit!
