It's going to be huge.. It will be like a mini surf trip..

Are we going to eat baked beans around the campfire Saturday night?

This was a "don't miss" event last year and no doubt will be again. I'll get there one way or another.

Either way it's going to be a fine weekend.

I am keen to get into SUPing and am currently trying to decide on a board.

Let us know what boards will be available for demo, I am interested in trying out a couple of boards if available

Hi Sako,
We should have the list put together by mid this week, and then get it up here no later
than Thursday. Are you looking at a surf SUP, flat water SUP or an allrounder?
Let me know if you have any models in mind and I will see if I can round them up.

Cheers
Brendan

Hi Brendan,

I am looking for an all rounder. It will be used a lot down at Inverloch, on the inlet with my kids on the front etc... I would also like to have a play around in small surf.

I have had the starboard wide point and drive recommended to me, I'm just not sure if these boards will be ok with the kids.

Thanks,

Will it be possible to demo boards if I am not a sup vic member?

Thanks,

Spoke to Zac earlier today and we should have some Luke Short Design boards in the 8'6 8'8 and 8'10 range and a good chance of trying the 7'8 Hokua Naish so plenty of performance sups there,
also I'll have a new 8'8 DTM with me for those wanting to check out a Custom Sup,
its an impressive board quite different to the production boards,



Cheers.

Hey Lacey,
yer greens the only colour for the DTM sups as far as I know,
easily recognizable in the linup,
may have to check with Dan though,
I'm happy with the colour anyways,it looks sweet,
cheers.

The meeting time on Saturday morning is 8:30am - at the track to the surf beach at Ozone Street (and Surf Parade), as per Brendan's map, above.

For anyone who is down at Inverloch tomorrow night (ie Friday night), you are welcome to bring a beverage of choice and drop into the "SupVic house" after dinner to get the group together and the weekend started. We don't plan on a big night though, as the weather is looking really good for an early start on Saturday, let's hope we get a few nice waves to add to light offshores!!

More swell predicted for Sunday, too, so let's keep our fingers crossed!

I don't want to do a Cory (you know, the kid who posted the party details on Facebook and it turned into a riot), so if you want the address for the house pm me, Brendan (Bnaccas) or Camo.
