Great concept. What happened to Coreban' Team Rider Woogie Marsh, who was in all the Ads?!? He rips and had some great result in Hawaii last year.
I am not a "Woogie Marsh" replacement thats for sure. Just your average bloke who discovered the sport of SUP a bit over 1 year ago and got hooked.
I came across the COREBAN website and sent an email regarding the Ambassador, not even expecting a reply.
Well I got a reply and now I am on the team. Stoked to say the least.
It is a great idea by COREBAN to get the punter like, me not just the "pro" riders to spread the word because we are in the water down at the local beach or lake doing it.
My first wave last year at Freshwater Beach. I was hooked after that day.
I look forward to posting more about my ride with COREBAN and SUPn.
Welcome to seabreeze Greg and congrats on the ambassador role.
I have wondered for some time why Coreban very rarely get a mention on seabreeze so I posted the following:
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/SUP/This-brand-rarely-gets-a-mention/
Looks like it might all change now. Look forward to your posts.
p.s. I have noticed more coverage since my post so I guess Ivan Van Damme owes me a free t-shirt.
Welcome to the 'breeze Greg. Hope you enjoy your new boards. I just got back from a run on the Port Hacking on my Alpha. Still in love with it after almost a year.
And good luck with the Coreban Family.
Great Greg! Congratulations and score one for the punters! So I guess Woogie Marsh is still riding for the
m?
Welcome to the team Greg.
Sorry to say though that you are not the first Coreban ambassador in Oz.
In WA Kite Surf SUP have Theresa McKirdy on a Coreban 12'6" and she is killing it.
Wish you luck with ur new role but be warned Theresa is an easy act to follow (to mix the metaphore) - thats what most of the field do most often - but a difficult one to beat.
kiteSUP. now that sounds like fun. I guess you could do it in lighter winds huh! show us a video. love to give that a go.
That's the perfect example why SUP boards are so much fun. so versatile.
......and yeh you are correct what chance have I got against a kiteSUPn Coreban chick.

Thanks for the Welcome to the team. I'd like to add a big thank you to Daniel from looktosea.com.au for his photographs. Check out his website, some great stuff up there.
I'll put my hand up for the melb ambassador role, if I can drop past and pick up the 8'5', 8' 11", 9'6", 12'6" and a 14ft, also probably should have some paddles both for surf and flatwater as well and I reckon that should just about have it all covered See you soon, OK,....thanks Bruce
Here is a photo from the State titles weekend, on the Coreban 12'6 Alpha Race.
