The Victorian Flat Water Championship Series consisted of five races over the 2011-12 summer:
Dec 4 - SUP VIC / Starboard Great Melbourne Paddle – Green Point, Brighton Beach
Jan 22 - THE ZU Spirit of ZuMania Race – West St.Kilda to Port Melbourne
Jan 26 - SUP HQ Port Phillip Cup – St Kilda Beach
Feb 12 - SHQ Race To The Cerberus – Sandringham Beach
Apr 15 - RPS/Starboard King Of The Cerb – Half Moon Bay / Black Rock

Points were based on a Surfing Victoria model, with each competitor receiving points for each race they completed. The top three results for each competitor across the five-race series counted towards the end results.

Congratulations to all that entered ANY of the races, a top effort, and we look forward to another exciting and challenging series in 2012-13.

We are aiming to up the ante next season with longer courses, as the general level has improved across the board, and we will be aiming to make the series more relevant to State and National titles standards, bringing the race lengths to 8-15kms+.  

Keep an eye on the SUP VIC website as more is announced, and of course any announcements will be posted here on the 'BREEZE.
