To all novas and competitive SUP Surfers and Racers.......
The Port Stephens Country Club Southern Cross SUP Festival is on again!!
For all of you in the know this has been the pinnacle of Marathon Racing and Surfing the past two years in a row, with 40km downwinders. Lets all hope for the same conditions this year.
There will be plenty more information to follow in the coming days, here is a taster to get you all excited....
Dates:
15th - 16th May: SUP Surfing
16th May: Technical SUP Race
17th May: 15km Marathon SUP Race
18th May: BOP + Teams Races
Location: Port Stephens (Shoal Bay)
Looking forward to this.
Just one question though: I thought the "technical race" was the BOP.
If anyone is in need of an extra board or two during the event or if you're travelling from interstate and can't fit both your race and surf board on the racks or on your flight, SUP Hire Australia has boards available for hire on site at the Port Stephens Country Club, including 12'6 and 14'0 Falcons and ProWaves. www.suphireaustralia.com.au see you all there.
Looks like your in for northerly winds, so I am guessing Birubi might be on the cards?
If you can, could you give us a bit of notice about where Laird's meet, greet and surf will be? Still on Saturday?
No drafting allowed in the marathon race!!! that will be new and hard to police....

It's happened every other year particularly along the flat section to the finish. . Maybe no drafting other than in your own class but it would be hard to police for sure. It's looking like a course race rather than a downwinder at the moment.
