As surfers reflect on their hypnotic tubes from Tropical Cyclone Alfred, we thought it’d be a good time to remind you that you could earn yourself $5,000 AUD and a number of prizes including stays at luxury surf resorts for getting the tube of your life before the end of this month.
The Cooly Kids Classic Keg Contest, run by well-known surf filmer Simon ‘Shagga’ Saffigna, encourages tube hunters to submit their best clips of them getting coned between the start of 2025 and 31 March for a chance to win a number of prizes. The idea follows on from the success of the Only One MP Classic Cutback Comp which Shagga ran earlier this year.
Entries will be judged by Joel Parkinson, Mark Occhilupo, Dean Morrison, Bruce Irons and Colleen Deane. Anyone can enter. All you have to do is post your best barrel clip to Instagram and collaborate with @coolykids.surf on the post. You can enter as many times as you wish.
Check out the full list of prizes below:
| Division | Prize |
| Under 10 Boys and Girls | TBA |
| Under 16 Boys | Seven night stay for two at Telo Beach House |
| Under 16 Girls | $3,000 accommodation voucher for Ocean Plaza Resort |
| Open Women’s | Seven night stay at Latitude Zero Surf Resorts |
| Open Men’s | Seven night stay at Latitude Zero Surf Resorts |
| Masters Women’s | Five night stay at Komune Bali |
| Masters Men’s | Eleven night boat trip aboard Orca Laut Charters in the Ments |
The winning filmer in each division will also receive a $300 Euro luggage voucher from DB Journey. The surfer who wins the best overall keg throughout the contest will also win $5,000 AUD on top of their division prize. The overall winning filmer will take home an eleven night boat trip aboard the Orca Laut Charters in the Ments.
