Guys,
We have now added a BOP clinic this Sunday afternoon from 1pm to 3pm, location to be decided to obtain best conditions. This clinic will improve your ocean paddling and is not designed purely for those entering BOP events. If people are interested Downwind technique can also be discussed at the this clinic.
The Saturday flat water clinic after the Starboard Black Blade Regatta is now fully booked, but we do have some vacancies on the 7 AM Sunday Morning clinic.
Peter will have limited time available so if anyone is interested in either a 1 on 1 or a different clinic, let us know and we will see what we can organise
So give us a ring ASAP to book either of these clinics at Stand Up Paddle Sports on 9244 4446 or any late bookings on the weekend try 0417 085 400, but I will be unavailable during the racing and the clinics.
Peter Dories SUP Coaching Clinics

Sounds good, I would have been interested if I didn't have to shoot straight up the coast after the Starboard Black Blade Regatta.
I have Monday and Tuesday off I don't suppose you have anything planned for then?
P.S. Don't go sneaking any private coaching in before Saturday. 
Not to mention 21st in this years BOP California open men's final! Well done coach! Not bad for an old bloke!
Kent,
Unfortunately Peter is flying over on the red eye Friday night and flying back on the red eye on Sunday night, so Saturday and Sunday are it.
If the forecast isn't so good for the kite wave titles and you decide not to go maybe give me a ring and see what is still available on Sunday.
No training this week, just cold and flue tablets:-(
It's been all work lately for me, 8pm finish tonight and looking like the same tomorrow.
I haven't got a DWer in yet this season (on a sup that is managed a few on the kite) sold the Glide so so gotta get a new DW board then I'll be keen whenever it's on.
Look forward to catching up with everyone tomorrow at the Starboard Black Blade Regatta, should be fun.
We got the Perpetual trophies for the. Battle of the Paddler today they look very cool. Would look great on the mantle piece for 12 months...

Don't forget we still have some space in clinics with Peter Dorries on Sunday, so if you interested catch up with us at the Black Blade or give me a bell.
Cheers,
Ian
Was great to have Pete over here sharing some of his techniques and drills. Now it is time to practice, practice, practice.
Thanks also to Ian from Auswind for organizing to get Pete over here.
Thanks to the paddlers in W.A. for making a great week-end. Caught up with heaps of folks and had a great downwinder Sunday Arvo.
Highlight of the trip - Luc Longley paddling a 12'6, 25 inch board and not falling off.
