12'6 only...Pitty
That crosses out pretty much everyone from QLD. Don't know if anyone even owns a 12'6 board anymore.
That's a shame. No one up here in qld even owns 126 at all. Most of the guys and girls in nsw also only have 14ft now too. Counts a large amount of people out who would support the event unfortunately. Make it up to 14ft and its a different story.
Who cares 12'6 or 14 ft
how about just support somebody putting on an event. Find a board turn up race surf have a few beers and maybe take some $$$$ away...
we shall see u there....
I was basing it all off the current state and aus titles,
possibly 2019 I can look at making more divisions, but have to start somewhere. I can't please everyone...
12'6 only. If someone needs I have 3x 12'6 boards of my own someone can borrow ?
Please Pohaku can't you change the rules, I only have an 8' surf sup and would really like to race. It would be unfair for everyone else to be on 12'6" boards so make it maximum 8'. No one else in Victoria has boards bigger than 8' either.
Holy crap Dylan
this comp sounds epic
thanks for the invite to spray insanities over the microphone for it
Lock Me In Eddie!!!!!!!
cant wait to head back down that way and hang out in and around where i was born at port stephens
and by the way all you Queenlanders, if you want a good board, then go and see simon at the Deep Factory in Burliegh he has a Heap of the NEW Deep Riot 12'6's that Lincoln Dews absolutely smashed everyone in the Tech Race at the Oz Titles a few days ago.
by far the fastest boards on the planet!!!!!!
I don't think any 12'6"s have been sold in NSW retail shops this year so I've got an old 2015 12'6" I'm happy to hire out for $500 for the day..
I've got a 12'6 x 25 Lahui Kai looking for a home. Just think - win it and it will pay for the board!
Just wanted to give give a shout out to ECS for this insane event. Can't wait to go up against the guns in the SUP surfing.
We need to support any event in Australia, no matter what level you are. It's not about winning, it's about meeting and socialising with a great bunch of people.
You can also learn a lot just watching guys like Kai Bates, Harry Maskell, James Casey etc.... and if you get to surf against them even better.
I have a mate who had never surfed before but started to SUP about 2 years ago, his progression is amazing and he has started to do comps, not to win or make finals, but to meet new people, watch & learn, have fun and support the industry that has given him so much joy.
I know comps aren't for everyone, but all the comps I do have a great atmosphere, we take the family and make a weekend out of it. So c'mon guys and girls, lets make this contest huge, I for one would love to see some new faces, you will have fun and maybe learn a thing or two.
Good on ya Dylz. This looks like it will be epic!!! I'd love to come but unfortunately will be on night shift both dates. See what I can do.
