Newcastle’s major surfing event, drawing competitors from more than 20 countries, will again provide a huge boost to the visitor economy along the Hunter’s coastline.
Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall said the NSW Government is proud to be supporting the largest surfing festival in the southern hemisphere.
“With its world class beaches and surf breaks, Newcastle is the perfect place to welcome over 700 surfers from around the world,” Mr Marshall said.
“I wish all competitors the very best of luck this weekend and strongly encourage everyone visiting for Surfest to take some time to experience everything the Hunter region has to offer.
“From the natural beauty of the coast and valleys to world class food and wine, there really is something for everyone.”
Surfest is supported by the NSW Government via its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW. The event kicks off tomorrow and runs until 17 March, 2019.
