Epic effort Stuey. Well done mate. I can see you pausing for a few micro runners or at least mind surfing that bay reef.
Huge task done just in time before the swell. Legend.
Thats right guys that is KP and me mind surfing it. :) Kissa glad to give you a couple of weeks good cornflakes. Marty I programmed the paddle so that I had a day or two up my sleeve for bad weather or gear or body failure. From Penrith I began to watch the coast weather very closely and asked everyone to pray for south winds. My ocean karma was enough to give me a golden downwind day and made Maroubra to Fishermans 30km. Still sinking in doing that crossing in 4 hours with stops to stretch out quad cramps. I paddled into a northely two days later and only averaged 2km an hour. It was actually a bit of a grind and hard on the body. Today was sorting through gear and checking for next time. Am going to do a mini adventure on the Nepean on inflatables soon. Thats invite only. Long way to haul someone out. Full wrap soon.
Great article here about the health of the Georges River by the Leader : www.theleader.com.au/story/2155246/marathon-paddle-to-fight-pollution/?cs=1255
This is my opportunity to thank the many people behind and in front of the scenes needed to pull SupExplore Sydney together. And we made it in one piece alot richer for the experience and importantly raised awareness about the reduction of Marine Debris and Tangaroa Blue. And thank you all here for following and your encouragment and support.

Cheers DJ. I thought you would like it. Especially my patented "wheel fin" and "SupExplore Sup Harness". ;)
forgot to thank Jason Prosser for his help with the Biolyte stove (it is wicked) and for joining me from from the bridges to Botany Bay Sup Club. THX mate was a lift to see you.
Awesome effort Stu, have been working away and couldn't follow the last of your trip.
People like you do things like that to bring an issue to the attention of others. You have done so in an amazing way.
To paddle 350km and walk 50km is a huge effort, you are to be applauded for the personal effort you put in just to make the distance, but to bring attention to an issue that needs focus is a huge bonus.
Well done.
ET.
Cheers ET thank you following
if you are inspired to document a beach clean 4 times a year with a club business team or individual get in touch with tangaroa Blue, no sweat if u do not.
