Bass SUP Club Day











Conditions has been great in Victoria with an epic 2 months of swell.
Mild weather has kept the water temp somewhat manageable and the 4/3 steamer is still in the garage. The Easter long weekend saw the best string of waves to hit
the Victorian coast in years and I took full advantage of it.

The Bass Coast SUP Club, a newly founded club based in Torquay held their 2nd event on the 7th of May and conditions were almost perfect. On arrival I was welcomed
with small 2ft glassy peelers. The guys were setting up the event site with a BBQ and refreshments and it was soon time to hit the water.

The format for the day was an “All In Expression Session” so everybody hit the water running. There was plenty of love about and I got to share tonnes of waves with a really great bunch of people. Everyone was stoked to be out there whether they got a set
wave to themselves or shared it with 6 others.

As the day progressed people were in and out of the water, taking full advantage of the BBQ to re-fuel for their next session. I was excited to see such a large cross section of peopleon the water, some ripping, some just starting out, some on big boards, some people swapping boards...etc etc. The one thing everyone had in common was
the size of their smile at the end of the day.

Thanks BASSSUP for a great day! www.basssup.blogspot.com/ <

I have been dialling in the Coreban Nitro 8’5” and I was blown away how well it went.
In the small mellow waves it generated and carried speed that I haven’t seen before in a small performance board. All on a basic set of medium Future Fins. I’ve always wanted a 2 board quiver but who needs 2 boards when the Nitro does it all!

p.s. This is not an ad, I am genuinely stoked in this board!
