2022 Port Phillip Cup & SUP Vic Annual Club Presentation

The  Port Phillip Cup was one of the club's first events and has been on the calendar for all 13 years. The 2022 Port Phillip Cup will once again be held at the Chelsea Yacht Club.

This event has something for all club members and paddlers, so bring your friends and family to enjoy the stoke. ALL entrants, club members or non-club members, are required to enter online. The Port Phillip Cup is an 8km Race (around inflatable race-buoys), with a beach start and finish. There is also the Port Phillip Cup 4km Social Paddle for those looking to get on the water for a more leisurely paddle, whist still mixing it with the race crew - the Race and the Social Paddle will take place simultaneously. Beyond these, we are holding several other SUP activities; see below.

This includes the requirments for attendees of not attending if feeling unwell on the day of the event, physical distancing on the beach and around the registation desk, completion of an 'event attendance form by an offical at the registation desk, hand sanitising on arrival and when attending the rego desk.

Safety on the Water:

Safety on the water is always top of mind with SUP Vic. As such, all paddlers must wear a leg rope during all PPC events. Racers and social paddlers must also wear a high-vis top during the actual race/social paddle. Due to covid regulations, SUP Vic will not be supplying drinking water or sunscreen – please ensure that you come equipped with both.

NOTE: In compliance with our SUP Vic Covid Policy, entry will be on-line only. Those who may wish to enter on the day, will still be required to do so on-line (can do via a smart phone). On the day entries incur an additional ‘late entry fee’ of $10 per adult paddler. 

Finally, please note that only registered Race and Social Paddlers are permitted onto the course during the race/social paddle. The PPC 8km Race will be run strictly in accordance with the SUP Vic Race Rules – see these on the SUP Vic website.

For SUP Vic club members, the event entry fee is $30 - free for junior members 16 years and under. The entry fee for Non-SUP Vic members is $40, which gives them Day Membership for the event - $10 for juniors 16 years and under. NOTE: SUP Vic annual membership fee is only $50 per adult, $100 family.

As always, SUP Vic reserves the right to change the event to the 'inclement weather fall-back date', which is Saturday 19 February.
