Noosa Surfing Festival (from Jan and Feb newsletter)

This year our club is assisting with the SUPs Super Sunday. This will help promote our club in the region and more importantly give our members a 25% saving on entry fees. You will receive a seperate email from me with the special entry forms for this event that will include the clubs discount. YOU MUST be a financial member of the club to get this and yes they do have the list of names. It may be worth joining our club if you are not financial to get the discount :-)

Win a World Surfaris/Ocean Divine Maldives surf holiday

Quite simply, this is the best competitor draw prize we have ever offered. A week for two on the magnificent Ocean Divine, surfing the glorious atolls of the Maldives, flying in style with Singapore Airlines…I'm drooling as I write this, and it's all courtesy of Shaun Levings and his team at World Surfaris, and Ocean Divine. You can read all about it on the website. Remember, one person in about 450 is going to win this puppy, so the odds are better than Lotto, and you can earn extra chances in the draw by filling out the competitor survey (coming soon) or running up a loyalty account in the Beach Bar. There will also be plenty of fantastic consolation prizes including surfboards.

The big Maldives surf trip prize will be drawn at the presentations on Saturday 16th, but throughout the week we'll also be conducting a Happy Hour Bar Draw for surfboard prizes, so even if you've lost your heat, you can still be a winner at Noosa 13.

Surftech SUPS Super Sunday

Because in the past we've had complaints from the stand up community that they can't take time off work to hang around and watch surfing all week while their event is decided, we've dedicated opening day Sunday to the completion of three divisions of SUP surfing and the 5K battle of the paddle race on Laguna Bay, all presented by Surftech and co hosted by the Sunshine Coast SUPS Club. After the race, we'll complete the afternoon at First Point with the Crick's Celebrity Surf Off and the incredibly popular VetshopAustralia.com.au Dog Surfing Spectacular, ahead of our traditional sunset opening ceremony and party featuring the Band of Frequencies. It will be a great opening day and we urge all competitors to participate in the ceremony and paddle out.
