Pity I live in Dunedin...
Interesting notes re 14' class which I think is a good idea.
"SUP – 14 Footers
The 14 Foot class is designed for The Bigger Paddler. Although an official weigh in won't be held, this class is for paddlers over 90kg as of Nov 15th 2012. It is a new and experimental initiative to encourage the larger paddler to be involved and compete on a level field with the lighter and smaller paddlers. This class will do a 3x Lap, 4.5km course."
