Held in conjunction with the Golden Days music festival at Coolum, the event is sure to be a sellout with the after party being held at the festival, and heavily reduced ticket prices for competitors.

As for the paddling event, Ocean Addicts have worked hard on the format, and Swannie promises: “This year will be different. As a committee we are working out the exact format to ensure all paddlers will have the chance at more than one race. Trust us you are going to love it.”
After the success of Jamie Mitchell’s Survivor SUP format in Waikiki earlier this month, the Coolum based event could even feature the first Australian version of the Survivor SUP format.
