The world’s largest female surfing event returns to Kingscliff Beach in New South Wales later this month. Seas The Day festival attracts crowds of up to 12,000 people and includes a women’s tag team surf contest, free activities and a number of talks and workshops hosted by ladies in the surf industry.
Chris Mater, Surfing Australia CEO, said: ‘After such a successful event last year, we’re excited to host Seas The Day for a second year running in what will be even bigger and better. Current and former Championship Tour surfers are set to join professional longboarders, free surfers, icons of the sport, and female athletes from across the country, at the festival. Many will be speaking in the festival hubs as well as competing in the celebrity surf challenge and fun tag team competition.
‘We hope that this event will inspire more girls and women to get involved in surfing in a pressure free-environment and encourage all females to come together to share their passion for the ocean and the surfing industry. This is an event for everyone to enjoy, so bring your family and friends along to the shores of Kingscliff Beach for a fun weekend of activities.’
The two-day event on the Tweed Coast will offer spectators plenty of entertainment, including live music, yoga, ice baths, breath work, food trucks, and more.
This year, there will be three festival hubs with guest speakers covering the topics of Women of Surf, Wellness, and Film & Photography.
New additions include the Film & Photography hub, highlighting the female producers and creators working behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. 1993 World Champion, Pauline Menzcer, will release a new autobiography. Professional longboarder and co-founder of Surfers for Climate, Belinda Baggs, will premiere her new film ‘Belinda’ and performance dietitian for the Matildas, Alicia Edge, will host a session on women’s health and nutrition.
