Surfing Victoria chief executive officer Adam Roberton said he was looking forward to seeing Victoria’s best take to the water.<\/p>\n

“The Victorian Open Series is an amazing opportunity for our surfers to get a chance at going up against the worlds best at the Rip Curl Pro, but also for our up-and-coming surfers it is a great chance to learn from the states best surfers.<\/p>\n

“Good luck to all surfers competing this weekend and across the whole series.”<\/p>\n
