Now in its ninth season, the Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle is Australia’s biggest grassroots boardriders event, involving more than 60 of Australia’s best clubs and boasting $112,700 in prize money. Competing clubs nominated squads of six surfers – 3x Open Males, 1x Open Female, 1x Over-35 Master (male or female) and 1x Under-18 junior (male or female), who competed in an exciting and dynamic format.

As one of the best club surfing series, the nine leg Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle Series will again travel across Australia with events at locations including URBNSURF, North Narrabeen and Newcastle for the National Final.

Surfing Victoria Chief Executive, Adam Robertson advised “we are stoked to be able to host the Victorian round of the Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle at URBNSURF.

“Bringing the passion of club surfing together with epic waves is the perfect recipe and I have no doubt the level of surfing will be amazing.”

Surf fans across the country will be able to watch the best Victorian boardriders club with the event being streamed live on Kayo Sports.

The event will be held on Sunday 12th December at URBNSURF in Melbourne from 10am – 4pm.
