The 2022 Surfing Victoria State SUP Marathon & Technical Races will be held at Phillip Island on the weekend of 2/3 April.

This is a Surfing Victoria event and not a SUP Vic event. Surfing Victoria reserves the right to run the events on either of the scheduled days, based on the best weather/conditions forecasts for the events. Entry/registration is via the Surfing Victoria website or the following links, below.

Surfing Victoria has registered several course options for these events – pending weather/surf conditions. If you want to be in the Vic state team at the 2022 Nationals, this is your opportunity. Entry to the Nationals is strictly via the Vic State Titles.

Finally, please consult the Surfing Victoria website for entry terms and conditions, insurance, etc.

Past runs of these events have been great - fun, testing and a great vibe. They are open to all entrants, irrespective of SUP paddle history. That said, you need to have the appropriate paddle fitness for these events.

The Marathon Race is traditionally run over 20kms and where possible, as a downwinder. This is an open ocean event, so paddlers need some experience of open ocean paddling. Entrants are required to wear a leg rope and PFD as well as carry a flare and a mobile phone during the race. Surfing Vic will of course have several safety boats on the course during the event, sprad amongst the competitors.

The Technical Race is over approximately 4kms and involves paddling out and in through surf. It is a really fun event, but competitors should have have some experience paddling a 14' board in surf - you have 6 weeks to get out there if you haven't done this before. Leg ropes compulsory. Maximum board length - 14'.

See P52 of the Surfing Australia 2022 Rule Book for SUP rules.

Time to get out on the water and your SUP and get that fitness and experience under your belt for these great events.
