Thank you sooooo much people for your support. We had our first outing last week with a group of young Indigenous guys who full enjoyed the experience of SUPing for the first time.
On behalf of all involved massive thanks,
Ian "Robbo" Robinson

good one you mate. Happy to support as well when possible. Your doing a great thing
awesome effort!! to see people that normally wouldn't get the chance to paddle to get out there and be stoked on it is a great thing.I would hate to think would trouble I would be in if I didnt pick up that old single Fin years ago and give my life to the ocean.A true gift you are passing on well done.
Smokin work Ian, Andrew, Simon and Cam you guys have helped out so many people.
Fantastic to see.

Love it. Good work! We've teamed up (SNSW, MBK, MSC) & done similar programs with our South Sydney indigenous kids using prone softboards. Some of us have been talking about doing the same programs using SUPS insde Botany Bay. Robbo, your post has got me psyched again about this stuff. As I said- Good work!
Thanks for the words of encouragement people.Its been a long hard road of issues,with insurance,waivers, and gettting all the gear together, but have to give my boss a big shout out for letting this program happen,Go Diane your a legend!!!
Again thanks to all who selflessly gave to help,
Ian Robinson
