Count me in. I'm staying in Inverloch from 27 - 31 Jan so Inverloch or Philip Island would be good option for me then.

Yeah the island provides lots of options. Kilcunda through to Inverloch area and eagles nest can cater for all winds as well. (Inverloch bar this Sunday at 12pm onwards looking good - due to tides, wind & swell)

Even the eastcoast & 13th will be good spots for a gathering as there are always so many banks that it makes it easy to find a slightly fatter one with no surfers.

I'll get a calender out and post some possible dates tomorrow.

Yeah I surf down Cape Patto way a bit and there is never big crowds even in the middle of summer. PM on it's way.

Hmmmm.... give me a day to think about this one to see how it pans out. Inverloch is convenient for me on the w/e. pm me your name (I'll feel like a dick pronouncing Bnaccas over the phone) and your digits and I'll let you know. I've looked at the area between between Inverloch and Cape Patterson hundreds of times over the years and would really love to get down there and experience the surf there.

Hey Oliver I did a ride along the 'mini great ocean road' not long ago.. The stretch between Inverloch and Cape Patterson and here's a few pictures.



Here's looking out at Inverloch and the waves in the far distance past the inlet.



There are lots of spots along the way to Cape Patterson like this.. We had a great windsurfing comp here once (low tide and no waves this day).



The road is fantastic now.



This would be a great spot.. I think it's called Eagles Nest.



Don't worry about me.



It's a great piece of coastline.



Imagine this spot on a good swell.



Getting down to the beach may be a problem in some areas.



Some spots are easy.



Cape Patterson is one of my favorite spots.. There is a great bomi that breaks out off the point here.



Ant just past the Cape there's Kilcundra (sorry about the spelling).



Anywhay..... Sorry about the hi-jack.. Back to talking about the surf events.

That's great news Matty.. Any idea what month..and who the main sponsors will be.

A comp at Bells Beach should bring some international SUP'ers.

A down-winder from Bells to Fisho's would be a hoot with a group also.

Do you mean a sup surfing contest? I am keen to go In one .

(Putting grip on my new board tonight - looks pretty damn good!)

Take some photos - share them with us ... please.

Heading to Inverloch bar (1st pref) tomorrow morning around 8ish but if swell a bit small will end up at Kilcunda, probably cemetary car park. Will be my first surf on my new Oxbow 9'6".

How'd it feel?

OK...we are hitting the water again for a post Xmas SUP Surf.

Boxing Day - Kilcunda area will be around 2ft to 3ft with low tide early.
So if ya keen get down there at around 8am. I was down there last week and
there is heaps of banks around. I rekon park at the bridge car park and we
could maybe paddle down along the beach picking up waves along the way.
** For those who don't Kilcunda is about 1:10 drive from bayside area.
Who's keen?

Sunday 28th - I'll be in the water. Stay tuned for details.

Cheers & Merry Xmas

I think you'll find that the traffic on Boxing Day to Philip Island is completely clogged up. Last year it was bumper to bumper from Grantville to the turnoff to the island - luckily I was coming from the other direction. A good idea would be to take the turnoff to Koorumburra/Wilsons Prom and then head to Wonthagi once in Koorumburra.

Uderstand but last year I left at 7am and got there in no time. I rekon if you left around 9am or 10 you could get held up but 6:30am when I plan to leave should be all good. I have 2 mates keen at this stage plus anyone from here.

Hi Brenno ,

Sat will be off shore but small 2 footer's if your keen for a wave at Torquay.

Bring down your new camera !!

Rich
