I'd be keen to take a look Brendan.
It would be good to know at what times the Sups will be in the water.

I rekon that would be hard to know. But they will have a set schedule or running sheet so once people are in the water it should run to plan. So it just comes down to when the first heat hits the water.

I'll go check it out.

I've just been speaking to the guys at the NSW Longboarding Association and they don't know anything about SUPs at the Aussie Titles. They are definitely not running SUPs at the NSW State Titles.

Brooko, you should get involved.

I entered and I'm faxing a mates membership form and entry form today. We are both not that good and will be on our backhand so I rekon we will look like kooks! But it should be fun and if we get a good turnout then there's a chance that we will get an event to ourselves next summer. Those were the words of Max from Surfing Vic.

I want to speak with him again to see if we can run more events under the Surfing Vic banner. I'd be keen to organise/help organise.

Nah, I missed it this year Brendon, got too much happening at the moment, anyway the way I surfed today I would be the kook (on the 9 6") I did go better for my second surf, too much time out of the water with constant onshores and crap wind down here, gone from surfing twice a day to twice a week

Hey breezers,

just doing a yell out for those who havnt entered yet in the vicco titles. This is open for any one, this will be the first major stand up surfing comp and will be a great thing to be part off.

Surfing Victoria will still take entries, it really not hard to twist there arm as this is new for them as well.

Matty.. It's too short a notice for me to organize the time off work. (I work weekends).

I might come down for a look on the Saturday morning before I start work.

I've asked the guys at RPS and SHQ and none can make it either.

Is Jan Juc the main comp location at this stage?

I hope it goes well and you get a good turn up for the first one.

I can see it being like past windsurfing comps when the conditions are crap.. We used to say.. "When in doubt..send the women out" .. only now it will be "When in doubt..send the SUP'ers out"..

Hey Camo ,

There was x 12 total SUP competitors so round one was four heats of x 3 sup surfers in 20 minute heats , first and second place go through to semi's on Sunday ...that was (Day 1) Sat.

Sunday (day 2)
Same thing with the x 8 surfers through round one in two heats of 4 people.First and second of each heat made up the final 4 .

DJ ,
The reaction from the Longboarders was awesome they were really Stoked to see us out there having a crack in those conditions.We have now broken the ice for future comps here in Vic.
I think Matt Lumley actually one a SLAB of COOPER'S beer for "Best wave of State Titles Comp".

Was that right Lummers?

Yeah conditions were really hard. A mix of onshore and a weird rippy side chop.
Everyone did well just to get out there and make poor conditions look ok.

Next year will be bigger and better I'm sure.

I found the spirit of the SUP competitors to be outstanding.

I would like to thank Rich for his assistance in getting Surfing Victoria to allow my daughter Kristiana (13) to compete in the SUP Open Division. And a big thankyou to Max Wells for allowing to happen.

It took Kristi 19.5 mins to get out the back in the conditions, but she never gave up and to her just competing on the day was the main goal as she loves the sport.

Kristi's little sister Nesha (10) caught her first 5 SUP waves today at Cosey Corner Torquay and told Kristi to watch her back.

They both want to push for a Kids Division next year!

DJ the kids and I would be keen to attend any of the SUP events and would like to host a fun day for all down at OG with a BBQ etc.

We have access to both river and surf so if the wind is up plan B is always available in the river for a flat water sprint or 2 or a kick turn and nose walk challenge!

We have some custom cut paddles and life jackets for the kids as well because my youngest is 8 and she loves to sup.








If only I could convince my wife to SUP, looks to the heavens and laughs!

Catch you in the soup
