2014 Stand Up Surf Shop King of the Cut

The Ultimate SUP Downwinder-Downunder

The $16,500 Stand Up Surf Shop - King of the Cut is held along on the beautiful Peel Coast line where the famed  powerful and consistent West Coast Seabreeze blows perfect, un-interrupted runners like an endless conveyor belt.

In it's 3rd year, the King of the Cut is run by SUPWA and proudly sponsored by Stand Up Surf Shop and presented by Redink Homes.

 

Divisions:

In accordance with the SUPAA Rule Book, there will be a Male and Female Pro Class (the old 'Open' Class) that will compete for the allocated prize money regardless of age group. A competitor is classed as a Pro Class competitor if they have finsihed in the top ten of a SUPAA Pro event (Top 5 in this particular event) or if they elect to enter the Pro Class for this event (thereby becoming ineligible for their age group). An Unlimited board is eligible for the King (or Queen) of the Cut (first paddler home), but not for the Pro Class prize money (14' only).

All other competitors will register in their age group (still remaining eligible for a Pro Class fininsh). Age group trophies are allocated,  but not prize money.
