Reflecting on our Proud Surfing History

The entire three days will be a true celebration of surfing in South Australia, incorporating all aspects of our unique and inclusive surf culture. From board swaps to surf art to food vendors, the family friendly festival will have something for everybody, no matter how actively involved in the sport you are. For those wanting to give surfing a go for the first time, a range of surf schools will be operating on the Sunday.

Getting Social

Sunday April 28 will see a more social day take place with an inter club teams competition attracting SA-based clubs from Yorke Peninsula to Robe in the South East. Middleton Point will also host a twin and single-fin event and surfboard paddle race. On Saturday evening revellers will be invited to attend a ‘Stomp’ at a local Hotel, which will set the scene for a party-like atmosphere and a nostalgic journey harking back to the famous surfer parties of the 1960s. A surf movie night is also planned for Friday evening to officially launch the weekend.
