This is a historic event being the longest running amateur surfing event in Australia. Catering for surfers of all ages the Easter Classic is fun for the whole family. Cash and prizes are spread across all divisions with new surfboards also up for grabs in most divisions.

Due to popularity in 2010, the masters (over 40) and the seniors (over 30) will also have $500 cash for the respective winners of each division. The feature division ‘Open Men’ is always the highest level of competition they will fight it out for the $1500 first place. Open women will also be battling for the $500 first prize. For the kids, the prizes will be outstanding and this is one contest worth adding to the resume. 2011 is set to be a huge year and as it is a non-profit event we would like to thank all the sponsors locally and nationally for their continued strong support of this great event.
