India Robinson and Tully Wylie claim Victorian Open Titles at URBNSURF

Surfing Victoria are pleased to announce India Robinson (Jan Juc) and Tully Wylie (Jan Juc) have be crowned Victorian Open champions at URBNSURF in a surf-off.
 
Due to COVID restrictions, the top 9 surfers in both Men and Women battled it out in a 2 hour shoot out at the URBNSURF Wave Park in Tullamarine.
 
Competitors were selected via results in the Phillip Island Victorian Open Round held in April as well as 3 wildcards selected by application.
 
Each competitor was given 2 hours free surf at URBNSURF with everyone of their waves filmed. They were then later judged and every competitor was given a score for their best Left and Right on both Turn and Barrel settings – leading to a total score out of 40.

Both surfers have now proven their abilities in the man-made waves at URBNSURF Melbourne after claiming the 2020 Melbourne Pool Party – the first Australian wave pool event.

“I’m stoked to take out the Victorian state title this year,” said Wylie. “Its been a weird year, but it was super fun to get to surf at the pool for 2 hours and show your surfing in different wave settings.”
 
“That was such a fun night,” said Robinson.” It’s amazing to claim the Open State Title for the first time and to do it in a surf-off at URBNSURF makes it even more memorable!”
