We had an amazing weekend with a great bunch of people!
The sun came out for two days, the surf was perfect for much of the event and we managed to score waves at 3 separate locations. Fox River provided some great 'Stand Up Paddle' action (SUP's) for most people this was the first time they'd ever tried this out, awesome!
We intend to do it all again next year.
Everyones invited!
