THAT ’ S A WRAP Can you imagine paddling into the finish with over 100 paddlers , back to your beloved home town of Torquay with hundreds of other supporters and press waiting for you on the beach ? This was the day when Brendon Prince entered into that small band of incredible people , raising awareness for something close to his heart by doing something that no one had ever done before .
The emotion , tears and happiness was felt by all followed by pizza and beers at the local rugby club !
Family , friends and supporters all felt the joy and love radiating from Brendon ’ s family . As always , he had copious amounts of time for all – so many hugs !
What was Brendon looking forward to ? His family , his own bed , popping the kettle on for a cuppa and paddling with no route or destination .
We feel blessed to have shared this special day with everyone who was there – it was a truly beautiful day . Well done Brendon ( and of course your wonderful team ), your name is now etched in the SUP history books .
