Just found this on our local newspaper's web site. Video of the race yesterday. I didn't realise how close the finish of the mens was for second place. You can see Woogie coming in and running up the beach with Danny (yellow paddle) in the background dropping his board and losing a place as they crossed the line. You can definately see the need to put a handle in these small race boards if the finish requires a beach run !!
Thank you Sue, I assumed he had a to be a stong paddler to beat Danny and Woogie.
Does anybody else think carrying the board across the finish line is a dumb idea. It looks as if Danny lost a place because the Penetrator is easier to carry. Surely leaving the board on the beach and carrying the paddle across the line is enough.

Sorry guys i couldn't get any more, but what video i have is posted here.

Where is the actual finishing line , if it's the first set of flags Danny was still in front but there is 3 sets of flags and was it actually offical the boards needed to be carried across the line , either way it was a great finish and a great sprint by Woogie from the water that must have burnt like hell.
I just heard that all of the SUP surfing heats, reps right through to the final are all on tomorrow (Tues 17th). Can anyone entered confirm that....if you took your laptops to Noosa ? What a great day it will be if it is correct.

Funny today how the PA guy was going on about woogie winning the race yesterday???
Dale and I may do a run up to double island point later in week if anyone up here is interested. Great sup wave and well worth the trip.
N/Castle sup, I've heard good things about dbl island pt, how far is it from Noosa ? and on what conditions does it work best.

What joke running it al today when the swell is expected to double by the weekend - 8' predicted Sunday!!
AA
Thanks Sue.. More pics please.. .. 
Also pics of the comp would be good thanks.. 
It looks like a real grovel.. 
.. I agree AA.. They should have held off with the final and run it on another day.. A day with better waves.
Maybe they should have sent the women out today .. 
.. Is it a double elimination format?.. Do the loosers get another chance?
DJ
I would have sat all day near that as well Fantastic view right there, awesome shape as well great pics!!
running the finals today was probably just to get it out of the way,although it is a festival of surfing i think the organisers,not the noosa malibu club, still treat it a a second class surf sport,well it wont go away and with the standard of surfing right across the field we are in for some good contest aus wide,so if sup is being planned for a part of a longboard comp give the finalist some credit and run it the same time as the other finals,sup is as spectacular to watch as a good shortboard comp,the crowd today were stoked to see a new sport with so much talent.with sup surfers from 15 to 35 plus in the finals our sport is safe.
awesome day
apart from the lack of waves
congrats to dane wilson as he was tearing all day long
stand out performances of the day go to
keahi in round 2 absolutely tearing it to bits with the smoothest style all the way to the beach and totally dominating his heat
luke egan round 2 laying down a solid performance on his backhand in tricky groveling conditions
woogie in the repocharge going to town smashing the biggest gnarliest hacks of the comp one after the other sending the critics on the hill wild (very nice work!!!)
casso in the repocharge pulling out all stops and unleashing the lastest move that will take the world by storm "THE CASSO" i exspect casso to do a special sucker cam video to show it off to the rest of you crew in the near future so look out...lol...
and the biggest standouts of the day go to the lovely ladies tanning up a storm on the beach in front of the crew
we didnt see much surfing i'll give you the tip...lol...
later dogman
Jeez,
You would think that this sport will learn from all those from water sports backgrounds like surfing, windsurfing etc and stop running comps in such poor conditions. Every comp wants a result but no one wants to see that stuff. Imagine how disappointed those who travelled interstate must feel? Its ok to have fun events but wow, are any of them worth taking seriously? What a joke. Better off spending your money on a years foxtel than going up to Noosa as far as the wave comp is concerned. Might as well have pulled out the bush biscuits......
I agree.. 
It would be different if it was the last day.. but even then they should extend it..
..but to run it in those slops on pretty much the first days is a bit crappy in my book.
Was JB (Mr Naish) there?.. anyone notice?
DJ
I know Lummers had a new move that he'd be busting to show everyone but he could not have done it in that mushy small surf.
