Cya next year, come on over.
Some photos to get ya frothing for next year, grab a coffee and check all out on the link above..... photo credit: Georgia Schofield, Georgia S Photography, @georgiasphoto on instagram.
4km distance race (70 competitors), 1st male, 1st female - riding Red 12'6 Elites. 8km distance race, 1st male, 3rd female, riding Red...12,6 race
Impressive to see these boards at the top well done red.
Yeah I'm sure they go alright with the right paddler in these in-shore short estuary races. Actually probably anywhere with a good paddler (!)
You don't know how the red 12'6 elite boards went in the 15km off-shore distance downwind race, or day 2 surf races do you? would be interesting to compare
What is the black board A.anderson is paddling an old ace yeah? Doesn't look very lahui kai to me 
Nice pics.....I suppose most of these sup people are big city folk ?
But definitely gives one a different perspective of sup in nz

went to 300 % zoom and looked at number 17......I am thinking Tony's brother but maybe you need to give me more clues?
I was there (not photogenic enough to make the cut in the photos) and there were a couple of crews down from Kerikeri and Whangarei.
Get into it Gizzie!!!
No. 17 Would be Shane Murrell.

Spec Savers you need to go there
Is that you Tow ball.......in the number 17 shirt? 
If it is actually Tony I am totally unsurprised to find he is not a winner as I never see him practicing 
It wasn't just city folk this year, had a really good spread from all round NZ. Obviously a lot from Auckland, but also contingents from Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington, Bay of Plenty, Hawkes Bay, Taranaki, Taupo, and as mentioned a big contingent from further north; Kerikeri and Whangarei. 230 entrants in all, ranging from 8 years old to 78 years old. That's a pretty good spread!
Top placed Red Elite 12'6 in the Technical racing was 8th.
anyone from gisborne? Towball is pretending that it is he himself who is number 17......but I have my doubts

One of the best boards I have purchased and many thanks to the store who provided the information before the purchase
Love it when dealing with people that know what they are selling
