"Dawn Patrol" The favoured catchcry of the dedicated surfer. There's nothing quite like paddling out in the cloak of dawn to greet/worship the sunrise. It also means fewer crowds which equals more waves! [Except if it's absolutely pumping and the carpark is filling from 5.30am] That's the theme for our next Sup Vic Surf Social. Why you ask?? Tides largely determine when and where we can go to find a wave. The location will be determined and broadcast Thursday 7th November. Phillip Island, Inverloch & Mornington Peninsula are all in the mix. This will be our last surf social for 2024. The onset of Summer sees swelling, crowded breaks not conducive for group sessions. So here's your chance to meet the crew, get a few tips and launch into a few waves. Mark the date in your diary, book your tickets and looking forward to sharing the stoke with the SV membership.        Social paddles included in SUPVIC financial membership https://supvic.tidyhq.com Leg Rope essential.
