The next Sup Vic Surf event will be held on the East Coast of Vicco on Feb 9th.
Exact location will be determined closer to the day , with a smaller swell it will be the beaches or if larger the event will be held on the reefs in Westernport Bay...
With the last event, the Autumn Classic, it was the classic of all classic events so far, with an all time swell, offshore winds and some pretty damn good surf'n going down by the crew.
With the warmer weather, everyone will be as loose as they can be, so this East Coast Summer Classic will be well and truly going off.
So do yourself a favour, put the date in the diary and make sure you turn up to this East Coast Classic Event.
That invitation also extends to all you West Coast surfers as well.
Details will be on the Sup Vic website shortly.....[
Sounds great MJ - looking forward to it.
We all (well those of us from down this way) know that it's a lottery at best trying to forecast Melbourne weather too much in advance, but let's hope it's beachies conditions as there are some great banks around at the moment and after this week's heatwave the water will be a few degrees warmer by then, too.
It may just be like today, a pleasant 43 C. I'd prefer that to 15 C though.
Sweeeeet!
Having the ability to move makes our chances of getting epic waves soooo much better.
You guys are the best! Thanks for putting it together.

One of my Nieces is getting married on the Saturday which is going to make a warm up run problematic but even if I have to drive down at midnight in my monkeysuit I,ll be there.
Just look for the bloke in the tux crashed out in the sand at Gunna with the cloud of flies buzzing around his head!!

Poster is out...
Poster Design by Teeps @ Digital Media Creations: digitalmediacreations.com.au/
These classic surf events that Sup Vic Surf hold would have to win the best and most creative Sup competition poster award in Australia... without doubt IMO.....
As for the actual surf comp, you would have to be a mongrel to miss it.... 
Hey Teeps, Great poster yet again!
Chris Clarke and is the other one Mick Smith (flipped)?
Is the surf locked in for the 9th or is it a see what conditions will be like and

Same deal as the Spring comp.
We've got the 2 dates and the call will be made in the lead up to the first date if it's going to be the surf comp or surf race first up.
Hopefully we score some nice clean beachies

Apologies, can't make this one.
Have fun people
Mick, after you being one of the stars on the poster too, next time ok..
Yeah I'm in as well! Subject to whether I can organise the Mother-In-Law to baby sit.
I haven't surfed the Gunnery for probably 7+ years!
Good Work Chris with the map, looks like you got it covered, Gunnery, car park and pub location...thats it.. really can't think of anything else....
see you there early for a great day...
The East Coast Summer Classic was held last weekend at the Gunnery surf break in Flinders.
Conditions were not ideal, however after consultation amongst the crew at Sup Vic Surf it was decided that the event had to happen. We had a terrific turnout with a record number of female entrants wanting to get amongst the waves together with a couple of eager juniors.
Whilst there were lots of blokes from both East and West Coasts that I must say, the calibre of surfers were amongst the best in Victoria that registered making the event draw a very difficult job to produce quickly in order to get the heats happening.
The conditions were trying at best with a slight onshore and dropping tide but we were blessed by the likes of our regular highly capable crew members and a few new comers like Scott and Sam Hosking, Andrew Hocking, Emma Web, Lucy Bell all stamping their claim of the best in the surf at the East Coast Summer Classic.
The low tide meant the BBQ was fired up early with lots of dont ask the contents sausages, cooked and eaten, I saw more than one person go back for seconds which may or may not enhanced their performance later on when the comp resumed.
Quickly through the requals and semi's to the pointy end of the comp with the Women's final being completed whereby Emma Web showed why she is one of the best female surfers in both the long board and Sup in Victoria taking out the coveted Summer classic and the Psup voucher for her efforts, well done Emma, all the girls did well , some of them out in those difficult conditions for the first time.
Also worth mentioning young Kenta Ferguson took out the juniors with his young mate Tom Grace showing that there is a bright future in the juniors in Vicco.
The Men's final took place, some really great surfing with Chris, Harry, Scott and Al doing their best to slash and burn every turn, cutback and rentry possible with the final winning margin as close as you could call with Chris returning to the winners dais with Harry, Scott and Al in those respective positions.
Once again we at Sup Vic Surf would like to thank all those who made the effort to come on down to the event, we also want to thank the Summer Classic sponsors, Peninsula Sup (Psup) for their support and providing lots of vouchers for the winners and place getters.
Chris, Dean, Stuey and I went to the pub for a few coldies and kick back with pride of a job well done....
PS, stayed tuned for some new exciting developments happening in the 2014 Sup Surf Calender, Next Event will be held on the West Coast, with the new Autumns swell promising to make the next event a Classic..Regards MJ
Hey Casso,
There was one of those quad choppers flying around, but no photos of surfing that I know of! I surf was average but surfable.
Here are a couple I took! The paddle out and the Gunnery!
Sorry if the pics are sideways!
Here is a clip that i made from last weekends Stand Up Comp at Flinders. .Not much surfing in it but gives you an idea of the conditions. This is my first time editing a clip[incredibly frustrating] and have only been flying for a month or so.I,m guessing where the gopro is pointing so i missed most of the good waves. Next time i should have it sorted . Hope you enjoy Barry
