WORLD CHAMPS PARKINSON AND GILMORE SIGN ON FOR SURFEST

Reigning World Surfing Champions Joel Parkinson and Stephanie Gilmore have signed on to compete at Surfest 2013, held at Merewether, Newcastle.

Minister for Tourism and Major Events, George Souris, said securing Joel Parkinson and Stephanie Gilmore to compete at Surfest is a major coup for the event and for New South Wales.


“To have Australia’s Parkinson and Gilmore competing in Newcastle, fresh from their ASP World Title wins, is a testament to the strength and ongoing success of Surfest.

“I encourage all surfing fans to visit Surfest and see the world-class competition in action at Newcastle’s beaches,” Mr Souris said.

Surfest will be held at Merewether, Newcastle, from 13-24 February. For the full event program and list of competitors, visit www.surfest.com
