Victorian Longboard Titles on Phillip Island over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>More than 70 of the state&#8217;s best surfers took to the water in a bid to claim vital ranking points towards the second round of the series at Point Impossible, and the Australian Titles later this year.<\/p>\n<p>For the Open Men and Women, a spot on the 2024 WSL Bells Beach Longboard Classic is on the line.<\/p>\n<p>Competition started at Shelly Beach (Cat Bay) on Saturday with small clean waves, before shifting to Surfies Point for finals day action.<\/p>\n<p>Amongst a stacked field of competitors, 20-year-old Bea Conroy reigned supreme and looked to have regained the power which saw her win the Open Women&#8217;s state title two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Conroy begun the women&#8217;s final with a strong 7.67 (out of a possible 10) and asserted a strong lead from early on.<\/p>\n<p>Reigning state champion Molly Powell (Anglesea) fired back with some magic of her own, a 6.27-point ride, however, was unable to catch Conroy as the heat came to a close.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_128865\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-128865\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption
