Okay one and all.
The first newsletter is being compiled this week and will be emailed out by next weekend. Please get us your email contact details in the next couple of days so we can get you on the contact list. Please also send us anything you would like to include in the newsletter - including any boards or equipment you have for sale and/or board reviews or any offers you or friends have that may interest other sup'ers around the country.
Regarding boards/equipment you may be selling - all we will do is post your board for sale and your contact details for anyone on the tassiesup list to contact you for further info'.
Didn't look like I was going to get a wave today so took the 12"6' for an upwinder, after an hour of upwinding I hit a beach, only to be greeted buy chest high waves breaking over what must now be Tassies first artificial reef. When I was there a few months ago 2MT was cleaning up some rubbish that had washed up on the beach, after some big winter swells washing round an old hot water cylinder the beach has been reshaped and this has also combined to reshape the bank, it was good before, but looks like it will be even better now, can't wait to give it a go when we have some swell.
Well - planning has begun on the "Tasmanian World Sup Race Invitational".
This event is going to be open to all who get themselves on the "tassiesup" email list.
It will comprise both flatwater and open water races with classes for sup surf boards as well as sup race boards. The sup surf classes will be all about fun and be short courses and the serious sheep station races will be for the 12.6 racers in open water over both short and long (not too long mind you-) courses.
Dates, location and final class details will be posted as soon as we have a full committee meeting and nut it all out, but be comforted by the fact that it will not happen until after the thaw 
The overall theme for this event is FUN & FAMILY - yes there will be a couple of serious offshore races for those that are into that kinda thing, but on the whole it is about getting together and having a bit of friendly competition and sharing a few laughs and getting the whole family involved and paddling in some of the worlds most stunning locations.
Keep an eye on this thread for more details and to keep right up to date shoot us your emaill address at tassiesup@gmail.com and you will be kept in the loop.
Hmmm Just so happens I know of a very fast and very cheap 12.6 race board for sale !!!
If there is a 12'6" BOP board that is
faster than my tank tested "blimp nose" model
then I'll buy it.
I thought 12'6 boards were old school.
Should 14 be the new boards of choice for us Tassie boys for race and DW. Makes sense to me as they are faster, handle DW'S much better and are just as surfable as the 12.6 bop boards. They do everything a 12.6 does and better plus they do more.
I dont have a 14 footer boss. Just thinking why get a 12.6 when a 14 does more and better.
some nice waves were had at the mecca bowl this morning, 3 supers & a longboarder, at least the water cant get any colder now, does keep the others out of the water though.
myself and no 1 scored good park this arvo, we saw 60mT in the carpark but it was a bit cold for the old boy we feel
there was some nice head high peaks on offer
i took 2 boards down to compare, my carbon 8.10wp and the psh9.6 hull ripper.
overall it was fun park with a small crowd
more 2 morrow[}:)]
Got Roaring Beach, Nubeena, today.
Low incoming tide, light offshore.
Swell 2' overhead and settie.
There are banks but it was like a lottery
trying to get some shape with down the line action.
The big takeoffs were great.
Just me and two shortboarders.
Might go again tomorrow on a higher tide.
Any takers ?? ...

ginger sup will need to get rid of that starboard and get a stungun before he has any chance of getting anywhere near bozo.
