Been sup person for about a month - partner Carol has a 10'6" barry bennet and I am waiting for a 10' renegade by rod hocker - been loaned an old model by him to learn on -- love cruising the local lake and have cracked a couple of knee high waves - is there any thing suitable for us at your competition?
This was such a awesome event last year, Scotts Head is the perfect setting, the vibe was everything stand up paddling should be.
Well worth the trip down/ or up, the pet friendly camp ground is right on the beach, bowls club next door and a perfect Sup wave off the point.
Definatly a weekend for everyone
Have to agree last year was well run, great vibe for the event the surf club provided lots of water safety craft for the racing!!
We have 5 or 6 from our Club "SUP Central" going up for the weekend. If you are thinking about giving racing this is a good friendly event to start.
Hi Stehar
the bop sunday race will have a 12ft and under division for guys that are just getting into paddling or dont want to get a race board
the 12ft and under will do 1 less lap than the the over 12 ft .6 race boards
so come and have a go and have a try on some of the demo boards that will be on offer to test paddle 
The weather is looking good and slight sw wind
for the guys heading to Molakai
I have put a 25km race in for you from South west rocks back to Scotts Head
so should be a good training run for the rest of us Grassy head back to Scotts 7km the 25km race will start an hour early
any questions give me a call

There is going to be a under 12' section in the BOP on Sunday so if you want to give it a go you can without having a race board.
I will have the STARBOARD Demo trailer there for the weekend so I will have some extra boards and paddles if someone wants to have a go in the under 12' section.
This is always a fun weekend with the give it a go attitude so come and see me borrow a board and give it a go!!!
I may have some spare starboard race boards I will not know until I see what Starboard rider show up...After that I am open to bribes..
See you all there Rod

Unfortunately not this year 
Too many long walling waves go unridden up in that beautiful part of the world. One of my favourite spots on the NSW coast!
PERFECT family surf spot! Mum and the kids in the corner. Dad at the point and the big kids down the beach charging beachies on their short boards!
My daughters first wave ever was at Scotts! Yeeew! 
Priceless!
Beautifull photo of your daughter ,Im sure it wont be long untill she has a sup paddle in her hand we will miss you this year but look forward to seeing you next year ,the point is back and the swell has picked up again today 3 to 4 down the beach
