What a great day! How was yours?












The BOP race was crazy! Lots of carnage. Most people took the Naish ONE inflatable option which made it even more fun!







The display of surf craft from the 30's through to the 90's was one of the best collections I have ever seen in one place.



Thew Kombi display was a hit with the kids old and young.

The Patagonia live T-shirt printing was a big hit - pick your print, your own colours and swipe - you get your own custom Tee!






Smiles all round - especially from Lana who won the SUP ATX board in the draw!
Everyone who entered the Dukes paddle Challenge went into the draw to win the board, a race paddle, board bags and other goodies.

We still have one more big SUP community event to look forward to in Sydney on [i][b]Sunday March 22nd - the Sydney SUP Expo and Scotland Island Challenge at the Newport Royal Motor Yacht Club.

Stay tuned for a great family day out on Sunday March 22nd with more goodies to give away![/b][/i]
