Those creative and talented surf-mad students at ECU are at it again...
If it's October it must be time for the Surf Challenge at Yallingups, so dig out your steamer!
All surfers visiting the Margaret River region are invited to particpate in the annual surfing competition established in 2003 by the crew behind the marvellous Surf Science & Technology degree at ECU.
This is one of the funenst comps you'll ever enter - loads of fun, great waves, good times and heaps of groovy prizes!
The event is always a chilled-out enjoyable competition and showcases local wave riding talents amidst wonderful waves at Yallingup Beach. High quality surfing performance at the Yalls amphitheatre provides a magnificent spectacle for families, tourists and spectators alike.
The 2009 Surf Challenge is scheduled for Saturday 17th October.
Three short board divisions are intended for the day; Open Men, Open Women and Junior Boys. We are anticipating last year’s champions Zac Ogram, Michaela Greene and Shaun Green will return to the water to defend their titles against a host of contestants.
The festive atmosphere from previous years will continue with live folk music delivered by Caris Doyle, photographic displays, fun beach activities and a scrumptious sausage sizzle.
Once again, the ECU Surf Challenge has attracted fantastic endorsement from a raft of local businesses. Retravision return this year as our naming rights sponsor and Creatures of Leisure, Al Bean (AB) Surfboards, Evolution Surf and Hillzeez Surf Shop as Gold Sponsors. We have also had generous support from Samudra Yoga, Post Sessions surf photography, the famous Yallingup Beach Holiday Park, Yahoo Surfboards, Busselton Shire, Occy’s Brewery and Surfing WA.
We extend a huge vote of thanks to our backers for their continued sponsorship - without their valued assistance the ECU Surf Challenge would not occur.
With incredible prizes up for grabs and the chance to test yourself in the heat of competition; “You’ve got to be in it to win it!”
Entry forms can be found at local surf shops and on the ECU website at
