From watching the video, the event from last year looked awesome. I have to say when you Aussies put on an event, you definitely know how to do it. I couldn't believe all the different vendors how attended.

BTW, the food at the Cranky Cafe sure looked good.  ;)

Thanks for sharing this video from last year's event.

Great! It seems to be an entirely SUP oriented event. When this sport wasn´t invented yet, how it used to be?

I've been to every one.. 36 years this year..

It started off a windsurfing event that focused on wavesailing..

Then about 10 years later the kitesurfing joined in.. and about 10 years after that SUP was added.. We still have all three but SUP has really taken over..  8)

36 years...given your youthful gambolling on downwind boards, you must have been taken to the first one by your parents in your cot ;)
