im so excited i might even go out.any one got a 7/5 steamer??? Booties /hood and heater.
Shaping up to be a spanker on Thursday.
Stoked to see everyone supporting the Event.
Big thanks to Sparks and the Lonny Board Riders for helping out with the Plan B permit and also to Brian from Soul for his thoughts for alternates. Makes it easy when we all work together.
Dont forget to work in with others in the water as its a public holiday and there will be a lot of crew around pass on some ALOHA if you can.
Please assist by staying out of the sand dunes as they are totally off limits, no people no boards no animals no exceptions, the area is a breeding ground for the Hooded Plover a threatened species only a few breeding pair left in this area.
Huey be kind to us and FUN FUN FUN will be had by all.

Will there be an announcement on location today, or do we just check back in here for further updates?
just being the dad ok
.... firstly bring you own refreshments or support the local shops which are a few K's away, get there really early to sign in and avoid disappointment and... bring the correct money for your event selection...bingo everyone will be happy
the conditions are looking almost as perfect as you could wish for..
OK I'll bite
What time is early?
Bare in mind it's not light until about seven.
Gotta do the dawn service with the young bloke so don't see me being there until at earliest eight.
Ah well, if I'm too late happy to judge a few. Should be awesome by the looks of things!!
Cheers

Great day today, very tough conditions but everyone soldiered on. Well done to Courtney Dalton for taking out the men's open and Lucy Bell taking out the women's. Everyone that entered the water gave it their hardest and most also copped a hiding including myself. We also had a short Bop race later on down at Queenscliff which was a welcome change to the close outs at 13th. Well done to all the crew that also did the race after surfing all day.
Thanks to all the guys at Sup Vic for running the day, I won't name names but you all know who you are, massive effort in such a short time.
Ditto what Chris said
Great to catch up with everyone and good to see some new faces.
Pretty healthy turnout all things considered.....jeez that Bradke is a big bugga....and can surf!!
Cheers

Best Surf(SUP) event so far. real waves.!
Thanks SUPVIC
Crap conditions late, but that was also test of fitness.. FN hard paddling..
Was stoked to surf with all you crew...:)
Stoked for my brother Troy (3rd)
More importantly..
Massive respect for Christys bombie assault last week !
That is what it's about!
Aloha
Courtney.
Hey Phill, I think if you ask Hoagie, he'd tell you that he is a smidge over 6' 10".
Hey guys, it it true that the SUP Vic surfing titles are no longer open for entries??!!
Thanks Mick.
Would be great to have SUPVIC run the event...?
Great job yesterday guys.!!
Thanks again.
Courtney
Thanks again to all the people who put this on. Great work Phil and looking forward to seeing some more pics in the coming days. I'm sure it will take a while to edit them all, but saw some great rides and spectacular wipeouts.
First time that I've entered a SUP/Surf contest and it was great to be out there and also watch what everybody else was doing.
Big cheer for al the girls for their effort in very trying conditions.
Can't wait for the next one.
Well done to the Sup Vic Surf team for putting on such a great "Autumn Classic" event yesterday.
Lots of credit due to all the participants for embracing the opportunity to paddle through a pretty sizeable shorebreak and sets to put on a classy display of Sup surfing. As witnessed yesterday, Vicco sup surfing is well and truly up there in standard and a good match with the other States in all age categories.
It will be a good result for the Vicco surfers, when that is recognised at the National Titles, with equal representation of entrants in all categories is achieved.......in the not to distant future
Looking forward to the next event, the "Winter Classic" stay tuned......
Just spent 4 hrs loading photos
Hoagie got some good ones of you standing tall
and many others
if any one wants high res let me know and as usual they are free .
Also about to post a Little piece on you tube of some of the fun
Tomorrow looks blown out so we are going to kite early then hit up merricks where its a bit protected. Long board titles at pines sat Good luck neon leon.
Awesome stuff Sean thanks for all the hard work behind the lens
I want to see the wipe out reel it will be mind blowing!
