Had some pretty epic SUP sessions in the last month at both Gunnamatta and Philip island scoring some nice swell for SUP riding..
Still waiting on the Fanatic 9”6 but can’t wait to go surfing on that when it comes in!!
Cup Weekend – Vic titles R2
Well Cup Weekend always feels like the start of the season, and the start of summer to me! It seems as though we just get home from Cup Weekend, then we are in Merimbula for the Mambo Classic and then before you know it it’s X-mas; so plenty of excitement in the build up!!
Cup Weekend down at Sandy Pt provided us with some nice jumping conditions on the Sunday waking up to Cross shore wind about 30knots and logo high waves. The first few runs were sick for jumping!
Unfortunately by the time the comp started the wind had swung more onshore and dropped off!
I made it through the expression session, and the heats to the 3 x man final where I went up against Andrew Hocking and Andy Ackland.
The wind dropped off and I struggled in the light wind getting beaten by Hock..
Unfortunately I was working so I missed the first round of the Vic tittles so I am out of the points for the championship..
Off to NZ to work this weekend, then next Fri myself, Al Mcleaod & Phil Chalko are driving up to Gerroa for a NSW wave comp. Then we head south to Merimbula for the 30th anniversary Merimbula Wave Classic – sponsored by Corona this year!
Next we shoot over west to Gerro & Margies for some practice over the X-mas break..
Then Feb back up to Gerroa for the Aussie titles, then April back to Maui! It’s a packed 6 months with hopefully lots of time on the water!
Lots of photos and videos to come
Stay tuned!
