The Rip Curl Pro URBNSURF presented by Pirate Life, a World Surf League (WSL) Qualifying Series event, will happen on Saturday December 10th and see 80 male and female surfers from across Australia and Oceania compete. This is the first time a Qualifying Series event has been held in a wave park in Australia.
Surfing fans are welcome to come and watch 40 men and 40 women carve it up on the left and right, while live music adds to the summer vibe from The Lawns, bringing the park to life.
URBNSURF will work with Surfing Victoria, Surfing Australia, and the WSL to deliver the event as well as a live broadcast streaming across WorldSurfLeague.com, the WSL’s YouTube channel, and the WSL app. Fans can check out all the action at URBNSURF with general admission entry tickets starting at only $10 to watch all the action in the waves, listen to live tunes and enjoy a range of other activities happening in the park.
Local surfer and recent Phillip Island Pro QS1,000 Men’s event winner Tully Wylie says he is “so excited to compete for qualification points in a World Surf League event at URBNSURF. I was lucky enough to compete in the first event held in the lagoon and know how epic the experience will be for competitors and spectators. No doubt the event will attract the best surfers in Australia given its significance but the Victorians will have the home-field advantage as we train here so much with Surfing Victoria.”
At least all competitors know they won’t be grovelling..
