Given the level of non-support by standup surfers for Surfing Vic contests and the current age of kneeboarders, we have the chance to be the biggest division (like the Vic Titles this year).

Let's make it a kneeboard contest with a few standup heats to fill the gaps between heats or last heats of the day.

Dream heats: 8' Bells with Cadwell, Koefoed, McClure, Pommie, Meathead and all those other underground Vicco rippers that we never see at contests taking it up with Farrer, Steen, Baden, Kyle, Matt and the other suspects from further afield. Forget the world's - this would be hot! About 2000 years' kneeboarding experience in one place!
