SUP Vic's 2021 STATE SUP FESTIVAL

                                                    ******    NEW DATE    ******

Looking for a fun weekend beachside getaway combined with the opportunity to compete in the Victorian State SUP Marathon and Technical Races or to just get on the water on your SUP?

Then head to Phillip Island for the 2021 State SUP Festival. Beyond the State title events there will be opportunities for all SUP paddlers with some flat water paddling, SUP surfing, wing foiling, etc, on the programme. NOTE: This weekend is open to all SUP paddlers and is not limited to only SUP Vic members.

The State SUP Festival includes a SUP Vic Social Night for all on the Saturday at the Ramada Resort, Phillip Island - get your tickets below. The Social Night will also be the venue for the 2021 Annual SUP Vic Trophy Presentations. It would be great to get a BIG group of SUP Vic members along for the SUP Vic State SUP Festival weekend and the SUP Vic Social night, irrespective of whether or not you want to compete in the Marathon and or Tech Races.

We have discount accommodation rates organised for those who book at the Ramada Resort - quote SUP Vic when you book. We are also holding a $100 accommodation discount draw for SUP Vic members at the Social Night at the Ramada Resort. Only stipulations are that you have to be a paid-up SUP Vic member and in attendance at the draw at the SUP Vic Presentation/Social Night at theRamada Resort to win. Purchase a (free) ticket for the draw below - strictly only one ticket per adult SUP Vic member.

REMEMBER, the State SUP Marathon and Technical Races are your (only) opportunity to qualify for entry into the 2021 National SUP Marathon and Technical Titles. So if you are a serious competitor and have your eyes on the National SUP Titles at Phillip Island later this year, get your entry(s) in via the Surfing Vic website - https://surfingvic.com/events/?summary=all

The State Marathon Race is held over approximately 16-18kms and will be run on the 'best course for the conditions'. The aim is that the marathon race is held as a 'downwinder'. And the 2019 National Marathon Title race was a downwinder to remember - one out of the box! (14' foot and under boards only.)

The State Technical Race is approximately 4km long and is run on an 'M-shaped' course in and out through the surf. 

Venues, times and days for the State titles events will be based on optimal conditions for both events and will be finalised on Thursday Sept 2 with the latest forecasts. Both events also offer some great spectator opportunities to see the state's top paddlers in action.

There will also be flat water paddling and SUP surfing opportunities along with a wing foiling session, all scheduled on Friday and between the State title races on Saturday/Sunday. Given we will aim for best possible conditions for the State title sessions, the times and places will be promoted via Facebook/website during the weekend.

We are hoping that people who elect not to enter the State titles races can still get involved by acting as volunteers for these events. If you can help us as a volunteer, please 'order' a ticket(s) and let us know - you can email us at info@supvic.com. Your assitance will be greatly apprciated, as we cannot run these events without volunteers/marshals!!

As the State titles events are Surfing Victoria events, entry to the Marathon and the Technical Race is via the Surfing Victoria website - https://surfingvic.com/events/?summary=all. Please also consult the Surfing Victoria website for registration and race terms and conditions, race rules, insurance, etc.
