Gerry's the man no doubt.
But I still feel for Matt Johnson when he got shown up by Gerry in that picture theatre.
I know it's a long time but it was very embarrasing for Matt in front of his family.

Sorry Bernie, I got a bit sidetracked there. Sounds like a great start to the day. Belly must be stoked. Go Ozsup. Great exposure.

Of course he's the man ... he was in 'Conan the Barbarian' too ... that's him on the right ... google him - he was Subotai

Well done guys, especially with the great Sydney weather. Saw one of the crosses while I was having my week-bix. Great turnout and great exposure for you. NSP have to send you some new boards too... You can't buy that exposure on national television.

Could be a challenge in place for another SUP crew to get on Sunrise!!

Well done

When he was casting for Conan he was searching for an actor who reminded him of Jerry Lopez and then decided he may as well.get the real thing

Unfortunately the pink board was busy paddling on a dirty river in the Shire this morning. Bummer.

Recorded it on the IQ box and fast forwarded through every bloody Jacobs weather report from 6am til 8:30am. Loved it, and how good is the exposure for Belly and Sup in general ?
The best part was when radio shock jock Ray Hadley was chatting with Karl and bagged Jacobs for holding the paddle the wrong way. Jacobs was holding it the correct way and egg on Hadley's face - you joke.

Thanks to all who came down to support the OZSUP Crew at Rose Bay today! What a great way to share the stoke and spread the word about SUP. Stevie Jacobs and the TODAY Crew were great sports and really did our sport proud in showcasing some of what SUP has to offer.
What an honour to meet and paddle with a true gentleman and visionary, of not only SUP, but Surfing et al - Gerry Lopez. Everyone was really stoked to meet him and he took the time to chat, take photos, sign autographs and paddle with the whole crew. Thanks for sharing your time Gerry!
Whilst the OZSUP Crew led by Belly and Seppy hosted the event, many other businesses from the industry joined in - thanks to Carve Surf (Froggy and Robbo) for the awesome clothes and sunnies, and great to see the Bondi SUP Crew there as well (nice yoga Charlotte).
Here are a few of the photos from this morning, check the OZSUP fb page too.

Thanks for value adding with your input tortise ... appreciate the spirit you bring to the sport and your total lack of elitism. What a heavy burden you bear for the rest of us tardos, we apologise for being such dullards! Appreciation of the ocean, enjoyment of the sport and fun was pretty much the aim of today. It was a real treat to meet Gerry ... I doubt it would be the same with you.

Scotty88 consider that tortise was successful in his fishing trip! Happy for him to try and reel me in ... YEEW!!!

Hey Tortise you must be s*&% hot, you can pick someone's ability from a few photos.

Why don't you post a vid of you ripping and we will all make a judgement call about you.

Mind you I think most people already have.
