The Middle Harbour SUP Challenge

well done and nice sponsors on this paddock
this looks like the wimbledon of sup and I might make an appearance oneday and do the sheep race.

To view the 5km course, jump onto the event Instagram page. " The Middle Harbour SUP Challenge" There's a great little fly over if the course.

The 10km course won't be released until the day. Will you need a flatwater or a bump board?

We are extremely excited to announce that one of the top female paddlers in Australia will not only be racing next Sunday but she'll be running a kids' clinic as well. Come down and meet Karla Gilbert and watch how fast she is on the water. Karla is one of the nicest paddlers you'll ever meet. The level of elite paddler at our event just jumped up a notch or two.

Nozza's unlimited fun class is looking more and more appealing by the day!...only kidding!

I am beginning to think that unlimited should mean 17' 4" and not shorter or lighter than at least 17 KGs
That board of your looks much smaller and lighter. 16' and hollow ,no.
I also carry a chair but i sit down for the last Kilometre so i don't fall down.
I was thinking that i might replace my crappy stainless steering wire with some go fast spectre like yours but not sure if that would disqualify me from the "Gentlemen Paddlers Association".
Training would have been a very loose way to describe my ambling drift around the harbour. You might have noted that i drifted down tide and wind to Balmoral sat on the beach and waited for a wind change to be blown back up to the club. Total time 6 hours.
I asked Sam if there was going to be a cut-off time for the 5km paddle and he said the free beer starts at 2pm so i reckon that is my self imposed cut-off.
Any way I am a betting man so last one back to the bar shouts first round.
What is Helmy paddling, He should give us a handicap start, say 3 beers before leaving the sand.
Tried desperately to paddle today but to much smoke which I judged as terribly unhealthy for a finely tuned athlete like myself.
I guess tomorrow maybe.
What sort of paddle do you use, as i may be able to get you disqualified on a technicality or some thing
See you on the start line

GREMMO HOMES joins as a major event sponsor of The Middle Harbour SUP Challenge.

The support we are getting for our event has been sensational. For an event like ours to move forward into the future we need support from outside of the SUP industry so we're really excited to welcome David and the team at GREMMO HOMES on board as a major event sponsor. David was keen to support our event early in the piece and his involvement along with the other non SUP industry sponsors has enabled us to provide our competitors with an experience not normally had at a SUP event.

Gremmo Homes is owned and operated by four brothers, who are all involved in the building process. Michael, Andrew, Richard and David maintain a desire to provide homes for their clients which are unsurpassed in design, quality and individuality.
