A cold morning for July's club day

From one end of the Surfcoast to the other we were greeted to a chilly Vicco morning




 As our luck would have it, the waves that had been hanging round for a few days had disappeared.



The fact that the sun was out (for a change) meant that everyone was still keen to hang around and have a paddle. It was great to see a few families being dragged along too.

Deano was the first to hit the water


Some big boards headed down the point

 MJ slid into a few

As did Woody

Warwick was busy testing boards

Heaps of  people just hit the ankle slappers out the front at Draino's 


 Kristi headed down the point too
 Lummers decided to go finless

We were wondering about a collective noun for SUPers as the guys who had paddled way down the coast mixed with those who had stuck around out the front.

 As we watched the action on the water, a young fella on his little BMX still sporting training wheels decided to add some Travis Pastrana style action and launch off the end of the beach 'runway' clearing the rocks head first and landing about 4 meters across the rocks onto the sand. Thankfully the only damage done was some sore aggots.

 As everyone dried off, Big Kev snuck out on Nick's new Quatro to catch a few lumpy ones on the point.






Thanks to everyone for sticking around and enjoying the day, cheers to the Melbourne crew for making the trip down. Congrats to John Lane for taking out the Ripcurl watch spot prize.

Lets hope we get both sunshine and some good waves for our next club day on the 9th of September.

BASS SUP, RD 3 Point Danger, 8th of July

We have a Bass SUP club day coming up on Sunday the 8th of July.

We will run proceedings at Torquay (Draino's /Pt. Danger) starting at 9:30 am.



Depending on conditions we are hoping to run some competitive heats, also hold an expression session too. The goal is to have fun and you can pick and choose what you feel like entering on the day.

There will be up for grabs a new Rip Curl Ultimate Tide master Watch, this will be drawn via a lucky dip. So you have to be there to win it..

If nothing else we will have a BBQ and a catch up.

Hope to catch up with everyone then.
