SURF SERIES RETURNS TO AVOCA

Top-class surfing is set to return to Avoca Beach next year, with the Komunity Project Central Coast Pro confirmed for March 2017.

NSW Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres joined Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch this week to launch the event, which forms part of the NSW Pro Surf Series.

“The Central Coast Pro is set to attract more than 200 surfers from around the world to Avoca Beach, competing over five days from 8-12 March 2017,” Mr Ayres said.

Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch said the Central Coast Pro was one of the highlights of last summer and spectators will enjoy the event’s bigger and better return next year.

“The Central Coast Pro is an official World Surf League Qualifying Series event, which will showcase our spectacular region and coastline to surfers and fans from around Australia and the world,” Mr Crouch said.

The 2017 NSW Pro Surf Series is expected to generate more than $1.8 million to the NSW economy in visitor spend, attracting 1,000 overnight visitors to the four beach locations at Maroubra, Cabarita, Boomerang and Avoca.
