Great series organised by Greg Mickle at Sunset Surfski. SUP are included this year for all 3 events, the final race in the week before the Doctor so interstate guys can get over early to participate in a run.

Ian from Starboard Australia is putting up prizes for the SUP divisions:
Female Open 14'
Male Open 14'
Open Unlimited (>14")

Absolute blast to be involved for this year. Get along,these are tightly run events and the organisers are really excited to have SUP involved.

Hey Stimo, the entry form "starting and age categories" appear to contradict each other? Can you advise which category to register in?

Should that read sup division rather than divisions?

There are 3 divisions:
Open male 14'
Open female 14'
Open Unlimited

The entry portal is pretty straight forward, it's just catering for the surf skis multiple age categories and handicapping (waves). We are used to seeing 'divisions' instead of 'age categories'.

Hopefully there might be some ladies!

Shame shop hours are 10-5 Stimo, so if Galvo is in it who will be in the shop?

Bit of a shame it starts so early and not half an hour later, I imagine it would get more people entering.

I'd have got my choice of a lift home or taxi money if I'd taken a gimp mask and a cattle prod...
