Hey guys, Dez who run's blast paddlers is a good mate or mine and got behind the recent paddle for pete in a major way.

He runs time trails at various spots on a regular weekend basis, and we have been chatting about the inclusion of SUP into his events. He is keen as mustard to get the SUP crew there.

This weekend there will be a big one at the following. I cant paddle in it this weekend, due to grommets, but will be down there.

Event: 76th Balmoral Blast
Date: Saturday 7th August, 2010
Entry Fee: $10 per craft
Registration: 6:30 am - 6:55 am
Briefing: 6:55 am
Race Start: 7:00 am sharp!
Race Close: 8:30 am
Location: Southern end of Balmoral beach at the far East end of the car park
Course: 10km race - Fairlight Chinamans Circuit (conditions permitting)
Format: Time trial - run to Blast handicaps

lets get behind all these events...Looking forward to the day where there are more SUP's at these events than ski's :) ha

I hear you :) I will probably be able to pop in as I have grommy duties. nearly did a second run on tues arvo, but could not get a pick up from palmy :)

SPSC will be good, bring on some swell...

Good to hear Sam!

I would be keen if I ever get a race type board but not on a kid's sport saturday unfortunately.

I can't come but find some strange comfort in the family commitment comments above.

Do they plan to bring the Blast paddlers to QLD?
