Yeah Laurie glad you could make it. What a hoot hey, and I had to miss half of it!

One correction-

Balmoral Paddle Surf Beach to Bar Sup Off


Serious 12'6 max - Team Naish
Not so serious 14' max - Team Fanatic

Awesome event with a massive SUP turn out, really great to see the sport taking off with amazing events such as the Corona bringing SUP on board.

The huge amount of demoing going down at the event and number of non stand up paddlers having a crack on the boards can only help to increase awareness and promotion of this fantastic sport.


Check out how the Stand Up Paddle Demo Tour went at the Corona, we also have links to some great videos from Matt@reflex films,
