hey i've just bought myself a 14' sup and am wanting to get into flat water paddling/downwinders/long distance and maybe even racing if i get good enough down the track... not sure where to even start..never done a downwinder and looking for fellow paddlers who don't mind a new guy tagging behind (probably a fair way behind to start with lol)

Hey mate, theres a facebook page called Perth sup I think which people organize paddles on. Also check out supwa website.
