I vote Kyron!!!! He's gotta be the best sup surfer in Tassie!!! Just look at any of his awesome vids!


I agree ! Our best and most fearless SUP rider !

Don't sell yourself short there Skeghead, we could see you pull something like this again to blow the judges away and give you the title 2 years running.

"TassieSUP". From what we can gather in this thread it appears that the Queenslanders rely on videos posted on Seabreeze to select their team, so we aren't quite sure what you are trying to get at, can you please clarify this for us ?

Not sure where you gathered this from but I was at last years Qld titles and the following people were ALL at the event and qualified for the Aussies.

Open Men 4 spots:- Keahi de Aboitiz , Jackson Close , Geoff Breen & Justin Holland
Open Women 2 spots:- Jen Ryan & Shakira Westdorp
Over 40's 2 spots:- Myself & Steve Richardson

So who on this list are you saying got through on a video NSW because they are the host get extra spots and can post a wildcard.

It's great to see Tassie coming to compete and that your "2013 TassieSUP Winter Classic" will be your selection for the Aussies and if I manage to struggle through again I look forward to catching up with you guys for a beer or 3

Cant argue with that , sign him up tassie sup


KYRON can't be considered for selection
until he has a tassieSUP hoodie
and competes in the TassieSUP Winter Classic AND byo Demmo Day.

Since when were DVD's used to win surfing comps ???

Next thing you'll be playing Test Cricket by submitting
DVD footage of your best strokes and balls etc.

God save us ..


well if i was you id be sending him a hoodie


PYROS .. they're just revving you up .. see above re videos

High powered negotiations are now taking place and the

There are NO board size restrictions. I'll have everything from 8.2 to 10.2 to cover all possible conditions.

WHILE ALL YOU GUYS ARE PONTIFICATING

skeghead and i are are doing a fiji, pre-comp training camp.

it's day 3 and we've hired boards from andrew at beachut resort.

got a good deal for 7 days

it's andrew's birthday ..HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ..

we're staying at mango bay resort which is 3 k's down the coast

from beachouse

we got a full-on session in at dawn today on the high tide .. glassy

head high plus and grinding ontothe reef

we would have prefered it without the grinding

but you've got to take it as it comes.

few scuffs on the reef but good outcome considering.

we hadto paddle 3k's to the break so by the time

we got backto mango bay we'd had a good wotkout.

today we've got an appointment with the mango bay

surf ghru .. who has a boat .. and will give us a full

training calendar fot the remainder of our stay.

no crowds .. just us and one short boarder.

Sounds like you are just trying to blow the TassieSUP expense account, won't do you much good surfing in 30C water when the " TassieSUP Winter Classic" will be run in 10C

quite right RR

the heat is getting to us

watertemp is same as urine temp

spoke to surf mango guhru and he put us right

re best breaks.

turns out there's a break strait out front at the right tide

which we got am today

hard work

washed over reef a few times .. 16 .. !!

steep, lipthrowing take offs

and wibblywabbly surface conditions

hard work .. short intense rides

had short periods of glass.

in all .. totally different to carlton river superbank.

I'll take the warm air and water while I can get It RR . 2MT has taken to taking off well inside of where I feel comfortable and needless to say it has not ended well at times with him seen having a close inspection of the lovely coral . There is also a fish wearing one of my contacts out there , I think my eyeballs were sticking out further than usual as I took a dive fore the shallow bottom . Anyway we have survived another day.

Carlton rivers original no.1 & no.2 were spotted at the super bank this arvo putting in some training in some good waves, looks like they will take out the teams trophy again this year going on their present form!
