Who's idea was this, running a SUP comp in the middle of summer, it's only ever been done in the middle of winter in Tassie, just crazy and it's got Long boarders !
We will see SUPers casting aside their paddles to compete against the long boarders and long boarders picking up paddles to compete against the SUPers, should be interesting as well as the full program of events planned.
Our friends at NSP have very generously donated a SUP & a Longboard that will be given away in the random draw on Saturday night to 2 lucky entrants.
Just a note to our very supportive past sponsors, due to the short time frame and a very busy time of year for you we have left you alone this time, but don't worry, we will be looking for you support at the "TassieSUP Winter Classic".


Anyway guys, get you entries in and your accommodation booked as the Lufra is already filling up at these prices.
Lufra has released rates for NSP TasSURFfest, just call Lufra Reception on 6250 3262. Budget Hotel Rooms reduced to $100, apartments reduced to $150 for two, or $225 for Spa 2 bedroom apartment for up to 4. Better rates for two night stays. MAKE SURE you mention NSP TasSURFfest 29th to 31st Jan to get these exclusive comp rates.

TassieSUP .. what a brilliant idea .. running a comp in the middle of summer ..

unheard of .. two questions:

Will the comp be held at the famous Eaflehawk break shown below ??

Will the longboarders be invited to share the bubble baths with the SUPers ??

Results of the board draw.Michael Paxton won the draw for the longboard & Lewis Freeman won the SUP, but Lewis won a SUP at the winter comp also, now Lewis being young and foolish decided to swap his new SUP with the older and wiser Michael for his longboard.
