Looks same as last year though they have added racing should be really fun though as last years event was really well run .... I can only speak for nsw event though
Thanks for link paddleman. awesome news for sup.
NSW has good conditions last year. Judging was really good and event was really well run.
Can't wait for this.
Don't know about elsewhere but the racing in Vicco looks like it will be held in and around the Mecca for surfing in this part of the world - the Bells Beach - Torquay region. How good is that?
Combining a pathway for SUP surfers and racers from club level through state titles, nationals and international competition, and combining that with the gravitas and professionalism of Surfing Australia is exactly what the sport needs.
It's also good to see someone take the tough decision in terms of setting standards for board length. No doubt some noses will be out of joint with Unlimited class boards squeezed out, but it's pretty clear they've done this to ensure the next phase of national and then international competition is not compromised by airlines refusing to carry 17 and 18' boards.
Really looking forward to this event!!!
Now to decide what 14 foot board to get
Lucky QLD titles aren't until June.
Cool , now all we need is a regular comp scene winter & summer season. Summer twilight comp any one? 5.30 PM start fun sprint race series , come on make it happen someone.
Seems like all the sup vic crew are just interested in floating around the bay , there is a whole other side to the sport . Why are they focussed so much on flat water paddling ? If they truly want to progress the sport why wouldnt they focuss on both sides ?
If you don't win these state tiltles you can always go and try at SUPaustralia events
Hey Leigh, come down to one of the flatwater races, you are most welcome. Expand your horizons.
Fact of the matter is that to be able to do some flat water paddling during the week on the Bay allows many of us (yes, in SUP Vic) who like to focus mainly on surfing maintain some fitness. Makes the surfing better on the weekend. But then, you start getting into downwinders etc as well as flatwater, and you realise how versatile SUP is as a water sport. It's all fun.
No wonder the sport is growing.
Sounds great, BOP style race at Yallingup beach will be pretty interesting
.
I noticed on the SUPA website there is a WA state championship in Mandurah in Feb. Can someone in the know tell us if this is still on, how to enter and which beach?
Cheers

How good is is going from virtually nothing to two state titles, world cup events all here in WA, maybe we might catch up to the rest of the world.
Yeah, it's pretty cool! great to see so much racing - I hope I can get enough home leave.
