<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">TassieSUP Winter Classic 2016 After our call out last week we can say that the "2016 TassieSUP Winter Classic" is now pretty well sponsored up, yes we have had a massive response without twisting any arms too hard from some very generous businesses, but don't worry, we still have room if you haven't had time to contact us, but do it now.
Remember, these business can't afford to support us if you don't support them, so next you need some gear make sure these are the guys your...dollars go to.

With prizes like that 2MT you will have another full house again this year.

This year I am going to enter so I get the full blown T-Shirt.

ET .. good to hear from you.

If you enter in all divisions

you could win two SUP boards

two wetsuits and

two paddles and

two pairs of booties

.. if you're lucky


can't confirm that until
our TassieSUP elders
finalise their deliberations.

and the other snag is that Lucky Lewis
pictured below won the big prise for
two years in a row ..



And that was just the lucky door prize .. and he won gongs as well.

PHOTO PACKAGES FOR TassieSUP WINTER CLASSIC

You've scraped the ice off your SUP, busted out the 5mm wetsuit and bought your new booties.
The only thing left to do is pre order a professional photo package to capture your bravado in all its glory!
TassieSUP has teamed up with world famous photographer Stu Gibson to offer discounted professional packages for competitors.
Stu has shot surfers from all around the world and had his work feature in mainstream and surfing press.
PLUS he shoots at 6 frames per second ensuring that he can make even your inevitable wipeouts look good!
For $30 Stu photographs all your heats and provides you with copies of photos taken at high res quality.
Packages such as this are usually sold for five times the price.
We do however require a critical mass of surfers to take up the offer to make it worth his while.
We ask that you please indicate your interest ASAP, with all payments to be made by the 18th of June, one week prior to the event.

To express your interest email benstockwin@gmail.com

2MT was seen lurking in the comp area at the weekend, looks like he has sorted the parking for the big day

You are right RR, I was in the area.

And after setting up the signs in the car park
I had a consultation with Peter, the LUFRA manager,
who understands, and he agreed to set up a spa in
the hotel BBQ area for general use.

He's a great guy our Peter, SUPs as well, and has cancelled
his trip to the USA just so he can be with us for the WINTER CLASSIC.

I don't have a spa photo but I suppose someone will find one and post it.

Sorry .. I was putting the grand daughters to bed .. it takes about three hours

.. there are lots of procedures to go through

.. traditional stuff like growling at the monsters under the bed

.. telling them about my best waves .. and what a gun surfer I was and still nearly am

.. and how we're having pancakes for breakfast

.. and how they have to take me surfing with them even when I'm on a zimmer frame.
