Gunnamatta, VIC/AUS (Tuesday 16 January, 2017): The stakes for the Victorian Open Series presented by HIF have increased this year with the overall winner in both Mens and Womens divisions receiving a 7-day Maldives Surf trip thanks to The Perfect Wave Travel Co.

Surfing Victoria CEO, Adam Robertson, expects a solid field of experienced and young competitors at the opening event.
 
“I am looking forward to seeing the level of talent throughout Victoria increase to another level this year. We have some fantastic surfers from past champion Jack Perry through to young local surfer Max Burton.”
 
“With some the chance to surf at the Rip Curl Pro on the line as well as a trip to the Maldives, the surfing will be incredible to watch.”
