Hi all,
Make sure you tune into the Stand Up World Series Final this weekend.
Live stream will be on their site, http://watermanleague.com/stand-up-world-series
Forecast is looking amazing!
Saturday is Long Distance 18km with solid swell 20knots downwind.
Sunday is Sprints with 10ft plus on the forecast.
Cheers me on as I aim to get my World Title! There is only a tiny 2000 point spearating myself and Lina. Who ever wins here will win the Title for 2014.
Jake is aiming to win here and he can move up into 2nd for the year.
Hope you all can watch the action from home.
X Angie
Best of luck Ange I am sure you can do it!
Hopefully jake claims 2nd overall for the year!
Hopefully Jacko gets some luck for once and smokes them all 
Downwinder sounds fun!!
Shortcourse sounds like it will be full on! Will be great that it's streamed live!
Been a great series to follow all year I've enjoyed it

Somebody needs to tell Jacko his leggie is on the wrong foot
I think you are wrong Mac.
It's not on the wrong foot he is standing with his back foot forward.
ET.

Haha nice pick up!! I cant stand the coil leash draging in the water so putting it on the front leg stops that
With a soild 15 ft today this is going to be a very interesting race just to get out to the start line. Sounds like the whole race will be live so might be some good action as we come through places like pipeline and stuff!!

The feed sucked , I think Kai , riggs , mo , jake?
Yep and 17yo Fiona Wylde first Women. Naish cleaned up.
Classic how they cut the feed after the first girl
First time they've attempted live feed from a distance race, but not sure they'll be doing it again after that. Pretty much no mention of the girls or anyone outside the top few guys until the finish and then didn't wait for the other girls to finish.
They've done a good job with the pre-race talk and interviews for the women's showndown leading into the event but kind of fell off the bandwagon with the race coverage - especially when the men's title was already decided and the women's title is on the line!
Fiona 1st, Angie 2nd & Sonni 3rd
Not sure yet where Lina finished or how close points will be between her and Angie heading into tomorrow.
(BTW Waterman League have put an apology on their facebook page about some problems with the live feed. From watching, or trying to watch, it we all saw it wasn't great, but at least they're trying something new and not leaving it to 3rd party coverage like BOP. Can only improve from here.)
Yeah at least that had a crack at it , hopefully better next time. Well done Anjie on second looking good for world champ
Tough race with what looked like it was going to be a unreal DW but it didnt really end up like that and ended up being alot harder than it was ment to be.
Jake lead for most of the way but not taking any water really hurt him at the last part, it was a tough call to take water or not as if it was as good as it looked you would not need it but when it turn in to a tough grind in parts it really took its toll.
Ang lead right up to the last 1km up wind part and i think she is the first to admit she sucks upwind and Fiona got past her the best part for Ang is Lina ended up in 6th giving and a good buffer for tomorrow.
I was going pretty good sitting with Kai and just behind Jake and riggs for quite a way then it just seemed to get hard and i dropped of the pace when i finished i realized my board was full of water guess thats what happens when i trust Jake to fix it i think i limped it 12th.
All learned lessons and now getting ready for a big day of sprinting tomorrow which should be super fun in some good sized waves.

bloody hell mate, you can't catch a trick.
haha my own fault for not really checking the repair work which wasn't done by jake by the way!! for me it does not really make a difference as i'm way down the rankings this year anyway.

Your lucks gotta change Jacko! And Jake might get some brains
Nar its not a lack of brains. Young blokes think the're invincible
