This will be a great series of Surfing and Surf race events held by Sup Vic Surf.....

There has been some absolute classic Springtime conditions on the East Coast beach breaks over the last few weeks so with the warmer weather we are in for the best event so far this year, each one gets "betterer"!


Look forward to catching up with all the mongrel crew

Um Leroy...more a feral underdog, I reckon..

And us with you King Dog!!!

The whole sup thing is starting to develop a definite canine undertone, not unlike the rap language of the USA, ie. "What up Dawg?" "I be chillin Dawg". As for feral underdog, I'll get someone knowledgable to sniff your arse to establish your rank in the pack!! I've had the two best days of surfing in twenty years in the last two days at 13th. I've discovered a bank about a 600 metre paddle/walk from Ant steps(right). As for my hip (touch wood) I'll forgive the power that is for making the last four years of my life a physical and psychogical nightmare as I appear to be blessed in my recovery so far.

where are the pics

good stuff
cheers matt

Great to see a comp on the East Coast and it should be a smoker!

With 2 main comps on the West Coast and 2 main comps on the East Coast now something for everyone.

Huey hopefully you will smile on us again.

Kristi and I will see you there for sure.

SUP VIC is pleased to announce the Mornington Peninsula Spring[b] Classic SUP Surf Comp & Surf Race.
[/b]Building upon the success of previous surf events, this is sure to be one not to miss.
The Spring Classic will be split into two separate events and run on two separate dates, Sunday 13th & Sunday 20th October.
The surf comp on one of these dates….surf race the other.
Surf conditions will determine whether the surf comp or surf race will be held on the first date (13th Oct), the other event being held on the following weekend.
So keep both dates free so you don’t miss out!!
We also have permits for a backup date of Sunday 27th October should conditions require rescheduling of one of the first two dates.
This is to ensure we get the best possible conditions for both events.

Looks like there could be a bit of swell around for next Sunday. Perhaps too much for the open beaches.
A long way out still for the wind but hopefully at this stage abating W turning NW.

Pretty stoked we have a holding period for this event

Latest BOM forecast for Sunday 13 October
Winds: West to northwesterly 15 to 20 knots turning southwesterly 20 to 30 knots during the day.
Weather: Local hail and thunderstorms with stronger squalls.

At this stage based on this and all other available forecasts, our best option is to run the surf race this Sunday 13th Oct subject to the timing of the wind change and storm activity.
Surf comp will be either Sunday 20th or 27th Oct.
Gotta love our crazy Vicco weather
Stay tuned for further info Friday arvo / evening.

Just a reminder that Sunday October 20th is Round the Bay in A Day - cyclists of all shapes and sizes - so stay well clear of Point Nepean Road.

woohoo, can't wait, please tell me water temp is 5 degrees warmer in western port than west coast.
havin trouble wearing wettie after two weeks boardies and vest.

It's looking to be a epic day if the forecast comes through!

Yeeeeooooow! Can't wait!
Is it true everyone gets to surf a minimum of 2 heats?

If anyone is keen...I'm hoping to be down that way tomorrow. PM me if ya want to get some waves.

Yeah mate
If ya bomb out in the first round you get a second crack in the repechage round.
Minimum two heats for everyone with only a few others in the water in what's looking like epic conditions....YEEEEEWWWWWW

hoagie said..

Any idea when the comp will start? I see low tide is at 7am.

Rego at 8:00 - 8:30
Likely to get first heat in the water around 9:00 but will depend on swell and tide.
If the forecast is correct you'll be able to surf the Hump right through the low tide.
Get your pre rego in before 6pm tomorrow (Sat) arvo.

Hate to rain on the parade as I hope to give the comp a crack but it looks like there is a Super Grom comp on as well this Sunday at Leo. Check out:www.triggerbrothers.com.au/w/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=540&Itemid=100053

If this is the case I will certainly give the comp a miss as I don't have enough skills to dodge a busy Leo line up with kids!
