With the 2011 Australian Titles just around the corner (21-24 Aug) it will be interesting to see who will become the next Australian SUP Champion.
Strangely, there has been a flurry of "JC" title holders so far (2009 - Josh Constable, 2010 - Jackson Close) - maybe that pattern will continue?
If you have the initials "JC" - the pressure is on!

I don't care who wins....I'll b at work sulking I had to pull out of the aus titles thanks to not getting the time off work lol.
My replacement better do well haha but then again I heard there struggling to get numbers.... So who knows who'll rock up. Maybe Egan.
Bring your rhino chasers!
If this forecast sticks, the opening SUP rounds on Sunday will be in triple overhead bombs at Town Beach, breaking about a kilometre out to sea off the river entrance.
There's a Port Macquarie forecasts here -- looking pretty windy? Whats it like in a stiff southerly?

So the way I see it unfolding is some of the best people will not feature in the Australian Titles for whatever reason or reasons.
I've read enough on this forum to make the above observation.
it seems like beginners are running this show. sup needs the best of the best to be competing to make the contest a contest. maybe if my dad cries to the right people often enough i might get in[}:)] only if its fat and small
so who the hell is going?
i know of
nixon
dan
casso
goatie
mandog
tully
the weapon
justin
keahi
jackson
lummers??????
who else???????
ps ....yewwwwwww......swell........yewwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!
Why don't you all just go surfing for what it is.
It's you in the ocean and what it has to offer on any given day. You might even get to share it with a few like minded poeple. Australian Champoin, it's just a title, wow your the best, doesn't mean much to those who surf becuase we love it.
I hope you enjoy your title whoever wins,
you are totally right waterhouse
the funny thing is
thats exactly what we do for the 23hrs and 40 mins of the day outside of that ****ty stressful 20min heat we surf against each other
we get to all hangout with other like minded stand up goatboat loving freakazoids and lay sh1t on each other as well as go surfing together but most importantly we drain each others eskies full of boooooze
in the end we all win!!!!!!
Ya see Dogman thats what I am talking about.
I am saving my ass off to drink myself silly and SUP my brain out at the Mambo or whatever it is called this year. I hope to catch up with as many of you aussie champions as I can and have a nice week in the water.
Bring ya red thumbs with you. I'll have a beer and a wave with them too.
