Looked like a great event ill b there next year.
id scrap the 5000m. allowing wash riding goes against the flat water sprint program.
Should be 2000m in lanes!
the 5000m and wash riding would b the only thing that would put me off entering.
The 5000m race was a hoot to end the weekend, even if it was hot as hell. The drafting was probably exacerbated by the slow, wide turns, so the leader couldn't kick clear. It was still fun either way and it allowed everyone to start together instead of heat draws.
But yeah, maybe 2000m in lanes would be a better pairing with the 200m blue riband event, rather than 500m, which was a little bit neither here nor there. Or at least 1000m.

It was a pleasure to have participated in Sup Fest last weekend.
The format was fun, well-paced, exciting and friendly. The venue was amazing and the non-sup paddling events were fascinating to watch.
Huge thanks to the Fuzzy & SA Sup Crew for hosting a meticulously run event.
Thanks Deano from Ke Nalu for having the vision to become the major sponsor of this inaugural event and also to Australian Canoeing for integrating Sup into a national title.
Hi Woz
Well done on the o/50, by all reports you were smokin'. Glad you enjoyed the weekend.
The AuSUP Ke Nalu SUPfest was created by AuSUP. We established a MoU with Australian canoeing to run our event. We arranged the distance lengths and age groups as well as the overall champion concept and sourcing sponsors.
The Partnering agreement with AC (MoU) has been a year long process and we are excited that AuSUP is recognized by both Surfing Australia and AC as the National advisory body for SUP. We saw a need for this style of event to appeal to the Flatwater paddling demographic. AC have been fantastic and we are very appreciative of them allowing us to feature in their National Titles.
Well done to Fuzz and the local Guys for hosting the event. Also to Paul for arranging sponsorship (along with Fuzz). Sincere thanks to Dean from Ke Nalu for believing in the event and getting right behind it. Big thanks to our amazing sponsors - this collection of board bands and shops really believe in SUP in Asutralia. If you want to get a SUP product from someone that actually cares about SUP look no further than the list of sponsors from the SUPfest - unbelievable effort!!
Thanks also for the guys and girls that travelld over for the event - we put this on for you, thank you for your efforts and smiles.

Geez the Vics did well!
I warned you we were bringing a pretty decent team over.

Vics did do well. We should have done a medal count?
We could work that out but the medals were just from Australian Canoeing so they didn't recognise all the categories, just Open Male, Open Female and Over 40 Male. When you factor in Over 60 Male, Over 50 Male, Over 50 Female and Over 40 Female (none of which AC gave medals for) then SA and VIC cleaned up.
the bar has been well and truly raised breezoids
Welldone to Fuzz and all involved in making this comp a reality
and massive thx to Australian Canoeing for letting us tag along onto a well oiled machine that is "their oz title and oz olympic selection race"
lining up at the starting gates was intense
and then watching them disappear under the water
and then watching the big rig weapons of mass sup-destruction rocket off into the distance as "i slugishly tried to get moving" was insane
