The event is managed by Surfing Victoria in partnership with SUP VIC. 

Held in the popular holiday destination of Inverloch, the festival's center piece will be the 12km Open Ocean Marathon along the picturesque Bunurong Coastal Drive from Cape Paterson to Inverloch.

Both the Marathon and Technical Race are key elements in the selection of the Victorian State Team heading to the Australian SUP & Paddleboard Titles later in the year.
