Starboard Racing – Meet the Team, Demo the boards

We are planning a social Demo with the Starboard International race team this Friday morning from 7am at Dutch Inn Cottesloe.

If you would like to come along and talk SUP racing with Starboards International team riders Connor Baxter, Bart De Zwart and Annabel Anderson then come along. This is the perfect opportunity before the Dr race day to ask many questions of three of the world's leading racers about their boards and technique.

Not only can you gain valuable knowledge but you will also be able to head out onto the water with the team on the latest 2012 Starboard Racing SUP's. Some of the latest Race boards from Starboard have just been unpacked and this will be the first time on the water for these models in Australia.

Below are some models to try out

Cheers,

How good is it to see the interest and numbers grow in the SUP racing scene.
It was only 3 years ago when a handful of us went from Rotto to Scarborough on the old 12'6 boards.
Now look at it. We have paddlers coming from over seas.
What a great opportunity it is to talk and paddle with people like Connor, Bart and Annabel.
I'm hoping to make the 3 hour drive just to see these people in real life.
Hope to see you all there

It was good to get out on the new boards, certainly some very different new boards in the range this year.

Connor, Bart and Annabel are all definately entering, they are looking forward to it.

Should be a good race.

Hopefully the Starboard Team can get to the Goldy the following week for the "12 Towers Ocean SUP Race".
