Where is a good place to stay for accomidation close buy , able to take boards ect.
There is plenty of accommodation nearby TEATREA. There is a really good caravan park right behind the race zone that has cabins and there are plenty of apartments too.
If you go onto the Coolum Web site they have lots of links to Accommodation houses. You can go from Backpacker type right up to High End and anything in between. Most are walking distance to the beach.
Good Luck. ET.
Hay Swanie I believe you'd better get the piss bottle ready for the Ocean Addicts Power of the Paddle Surf Race. I was at the beach today and this little seagull birdie flew up to me and told me a very classic story. There's a few wonna be's, I'm the best 12'6” BOP paddler in Australia. But are on the juice TOO FUNNY like little grommets at the candy store. Puts Lance Armstrong to shame. I had some cyclists ride past me today in their clown suits I looked at them and yelled out F###en Drugos. From next year every competitor has to piss in a bottle at the Rainbow Sandals BOP Race.
Evidence would suggest there's more drug abuse on Seabreeze than there is in SUP racing.
To test you need an official group otherwise you open yourself up to other litigation if you make an accusation. Plus there is no follow through unless official organisations are used. To use a official group like ASADA for an amateur sport it is expensive. Around $3000 for 4 tests. To win on drugs is a hollow victory and i don't get why people do it in these types of sports. Then again that's just my ethics.
Though....
There is moves in Amateur sport to stomp this out as highlighted in the papers on Saturday and I am aware of testing plans in sports like ours that will be funded and random. As this is a Surfing Qld run event now... who knows who shows up????
Those out there in the sup community that are taking banned substances to improve their performance... At the end of the day your cheating and your starting to loose all respect and credit by the sup community.
It's only a matter of time till drug testing will be carried out and hopefully you will all be caught and named and shamed. It's only going to tarnish the sport and also your sponsors.
I hope this event runs well and all competiting are clean. If not , it's sad to see that the sport is taking this direction.
Good Story in the Sunshine Coast Daily this morning, in regards to the Noosa Tri.

Wash riding I would say would be cheating if it is in the rules that wash riding is prohibited but who reads the rules within there sports anyway.
Am i missing something here? who is on drugs? Few of the top guys and girls have already been tested at the ISA and all came back clean. Seems to be some one throwing around false clams of people on drugs without any proof what so ever!! Maybe the people winning are just training harder and smarter than the ones not winning!!!
I've heard i'm on the weed!!LOL but that didn't help me at all
Jacko
Remember folks loose lips sink ships Id be very carefull about accusing people of taking drugs , expecially on - line , and expecially on a little birdie told me. I thought about it though , because id really like to get to that can first and win 5 cartons of beer.
All us longboarders compete on the same level,hung over or still p-ssed,old,unfit and hopeless
