The purposes of SUP VIC Inc are to develop the sport of stand up paddle boarding throughout Victoria, and to encourage participation at all levels, across the various disciplines of the sport, including surfing, racing, down winding, and flat water cruising. SUP VIC undertakes to liaise with industry, retailers, government agencies, land managers, like-minded clubs and associations, and peak bodies at state and national level, to promote safety, facilitate demo days, organise family friendly events, promote junior development, and generally improve the standard of the sport through introductory lessons, training programs, skills and technique coaching, and high level competition. SUP VIC endeavours to be wholly inclusive of women, children, minority groups and people with special needs, and to provide a safe and fun environment for all of our members to enjoy the sport now and well into the future.
