The Surfboard Warehouse in association with LJ Hooker Commercial Southern Gold Coast will sponsor the World’s first Softboard Teams Charity event at Currumbin Beach on Saturday 12 March.

The World’s first ever Softboard Teams Charity event is set to resume at Currumbin Beach on Saturday 12 March. Originally planned for January, the event was postponed due to the Covid outbreak.

The Surfboard Warehouse (TSBW) in association with LJ Hooker Commercial Southern Gold Coast will sponsor the inaugural charity teams’ event with eight of the best Gold Coast boardriding clubs.

The charity of choice is Currumbin’s Wildlife Sanctuary and its conservation projects to protect animals.

Softboards are no stranger to big wave surfing as has been demonstrated by Hawaiian Pipeline Champion Jamie O’Brien.

$6,500.00 in prizes are up for grabs including a $2,500.00 TSBW sponsorship package for the winning club.

World Champions Beau Young and Pauline Menczer will surf in an expression session held between the two rounds of club competition during the main event in March. Ms Menczer will perform a live club draw for round one on Thursday 3 March 10am at the Alley Clubhouse.

The eight clubs competing include North End, MNM, Burleigh, Palm Beach, Alley, Kirra, Dbah and recent National Teams runner-up Snapper Rocks representing some of the best up and coming surfers in Australia.

The event is supported by We are feel good sunscreen and Triple-X rashies.
