The club had a team of 8 CCSUPC riders compete in the Scotts Head Paddle Games last week for another incredible 4-day event of surfing, distance racing, and socialising.
Another great event held by the Newcastle Stand Up Paddle Club who need to be recognised and congratulated for their efforts in prep and ex*****on – simply first class. Thanks for the use of the photos as well...
The team surfed strongly and we were well represented with 5 semi-finalists and 3 finalists in the surfing.
Chris Beaumont – semi-finalist 50-59 Under 10ft going through to the finals gaining 4th place.
Craig Caldwell semi-finalist 60-69 10ft Plus.
Paul Haile semi-finalist 60-69 10ft Plus.
Luke Fielding semi-finalist 40-49 10ft Plus going through to the finals gaining 3rd place.
Jon Simpson semi-finalist 60-69 under 10ft & 10ft Plus – going through to the 10ft Plus finals gaining 4th place.
In the racing Chris Beaumont continued to have all the fun gaining 2nd place in the 50-59 BOP and 2nd place in the 49-60 9K event.
Andrew Blackwell scoring 3rd in the 3K to round out the efforts in the water.
On the dance floor Paul Haile took out first prize with his harem in tow.
On the mic Andrew Blackwell thoroughly entertained us all during the surfing events.
Well done to all our competitors and thanks to our support crew, you’ve all done your club proud.
