Charlotte resident yoga master<br />

at Bondi SUP strikes a pose with<br />

Pipe master Gerry Lopez<br />

WHAT’S SUP WITH YOUR<br />

DOWNWARD DOG?<br />

Yoga masters of Sydney’s eastern and southern<br />

suburbs can now take to the water to attain<br />

their perfect state of spiritual insight and<br />

tranquility. Both Cronulla Standup Paddleboard<br />

School and Bondi Standup Paddleboard School<br />

are now running standup paddleboard yoga<br />

classes.<br />

Both discipines are recognised as being<br />

great for building better balance, flexibility,<br />

coordination, endurance and strength. By<br />

combining the two, the benefits are said to be<br />

even better.<br />

Former Hawaiian world champ surfer Gerry<br />

Lopez couldn’t resist a pose when he was<br />

recently in town visiting Todd and the team at<br />

Bondi SUP. The lovely Charlotte, resident yoga<br />

master, took him through his poses.<br />

during workouts, multiple attachment rings for<br />

exercise tubing, a dry storage area for personal<br />

ROLLICKING WRECKS<br />

Now in its eighth year, the Noosa Malibu<br />

Club’s Wrecks and Relics annual over-50’s<br />

longboarding event is booked for the<br />

weekend of 23-24 June.<br />

This year includes a new division - the<br />

over-69 age group, for those old farts that<br />

still have it in them.<br />

“It’s a gruelling two-day event of non-stop<br />

action, as we try to remember how we<br />

did it when we started riding the waves<br />

in the 50’s.” says spokesrelic, Bob Wood.<br />
