In a bid to provide the state’s Male Masters and Female competitors with additional competitive opportunities in 2012, Surfing Queensland is bolstering the Queensland Masters Surfing Championship and Girls Surf Slam Queensland Championship to a combined two-event series.

The two-event series will crown Queensland Masters State Champions across the O/35, O/40, O/45, O/50 and O/55 Men’s divisions as well as female competitors across the Open Women’s and O/35 divisions.

Queensland’s Open Women’s champion will still receive a coveted spot in the trials of the 2013 ASP World Tour Roxy Pro event at Snapper Rocks.
