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.

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.

Please tell me Clifton Ben
can young Stu Gibson photoshop other body regions ?

Enhancement of the pubis bulge region could be of benefit
especially in the cooler waters.

Could be a good selling point for these photo packages.

And remember .. It's the Journey

And this is part of our last year's road trip

To the TassieSUP Winter Classic.

www.facebook.com/splentale/videos/566762046759201/

Here they are, 2 of the most sort after trophies in international SUP competition, the "TassieSUP Winter Classic wave and race perpetual trophies, yes that's right, perpetual trophies, that means you only get to keep them until the next Winter Classic.
These have held pride of place in Crusin's best chook house for the last 12 months, but alas he has handed them back to be passed on to this years champions.
Crusin is the 1st person in history to be the holder of both trophies in the same year, a feat that we may not see again for a long time.

This is the wave map for comp day Sat@9am .. shows 2.5 to 3.0 m licking up the coast

which will wrap into Eaglehawk at 1 to 2 m .. perfect .. wind offshore all day .. perfect.
