Hope everyone has been scoring some epic waves. It’s that time again, time to amp up for our next comp.
Even though conditions were small for Bass SUP event number four, with one foot waves at Ocean Grove, we made the most of it and had some fun.
Winds are looking favorable so let’s hope we get some swell for event number five which we are excited to announce will be on Sunday the 11th of December.
When – Sunday 11th November;
Start time – 8:30 am (for briefing) on the water by 9:00am;
Where – First car park on Ocean Grove side of Barwon Heads Bridge, right of Raff’s.
We are hoping to run a new format. We have had requests to run some heats, so it’s time to run our first comp….. with a twist. We have decided to run it with a two man team format.
How does it work????. Two people will be put in a team together. There could be an ‘A’ level surfer with a ‘C’ level surfer. The Heat will run for 15 to 20 minutes. The team will be scored on a total of 4 waves, 2 waves from each surfer. The goal is to work together and get the best score you can.
The judging will be graded to suit your level of surfing so the ‘C’ level surfer may get a good score for a clean take off and a couple of good turns, while the ‘A’ level surfer will still have to ‘blow it up’ to get scored well.
You will be competing against 1 to 2 teams in each heat. The goal is to get everyone participating, so there will be no elimination. You will get to surf 2 to 3 times and the highest score wins. It should be EPIC…
Don’t forget to slap on some sunscreen and leg ropes are compulsory.
Also, after the comp is done, we will be heading around to the river for a paddle, our Christmas BBQ and AGM.
So come on down, we want everyone to help shape the future of Bass Sup and get more people involved.
We are hoping to have a calendar of events planned for 2012 early in the New Year. If you have any feedback on formats for events or locations that may be suitable, let us know.
