its over, great day, great weather great people and some waves, better if you got in early before everyone turned up !
good mix of people, some tried sup for this first time and loved it, caught their first waves, one old bloke hadn't caught a wave for over 20 years, they are all getting boards.
some were looking to down size and found just what there were looking for, they bought all will be buying boards.
some have worked out that they love the boards they already ride and don't need to buy a new board (i'm one one of these)

to the thankyou list for the support, these guys sent tshirts, hats, legies, stickers, key rings, brochures, samples, boards or just helped out where they could.

also forgot to thank the punters that brought their own boards for everyone else to try, out of over 20 boards that we had there only 3 of the boards were demo boards.

This summer our water temp out off the coast was higher than Sydney beaches.

The outgoing tide flows out of shallow estuaries, which are like solar

warming ponds.

In the winter it all goes pear shaped and estuaries acts as cooling ponds.

Lots of good winter surf, no crowds, and for sup in colder seasons we wear 3/2 wetties most of the time

4/3 for about 2 months of the year
