Last year we saw pumping conditions throughout the competition, and we expect epic waves again in 2024. We invite all surfing fans to join us and cheer on many of the country’s most talented athletes as they battle it out in the hopes of being crowned a national champion.”
Port Macquarie Hastings Mayor Peta Pinson said it was now surfing’s time to shine in the Port Macquarie Hastings.
“The Port Macquarie Hastings region continues to ride the crest of the major event wave this year, and I am thrilled to once again welcome the Australian Surfing Championships and its competitors as they barrel into town come late July,” Mayor Pinson said.
“This competition has become a real mainstay of our region’s sporting calendar, growing larger each and every year. With an abundance of suitable surf and shorelines that stretches for miles, it is no wonder our local and visiting competitors love competing at our brilliant surfing beaches. I’m looking forward to the action-packed competition and wish all competitors and visitors a warm welcome to the Port Macquarie-Hastings.”
