Just a local Comp that went down over the long weekend. For the last 3 years they have included SUP into the mix and have had some big local names. These guys have great prizes so will be good to see what the place getters get this year.
I was luck enough to get down to take some photos on the Semi Final day.

What was nice to see or hear was the crowd. It was almost like everyone stopped to watch the SUP and there was alot of UUU & AAAAARRRRR's when a big turn, hack, wipe out or attempt at a Heli were tried.
