Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the NSW Government was proud to support the series giving a much-needed boost to local hotels, restaurants and attractions, notably in areas affected by the summer bushfires.
“Our support for the Australian Open of Surfing has helped Surfing NSW expand the 2020 Series to secure two additional events for regional NSW – the Port Macquarie Open this weekend and the Far South Coast Open in December,” Mr Ayres said.
“The NSW Government has a strong track record of securing surfing events at all levels for our state, and grassroots events such as the Australian Open of Surfing not only inspire our next generation of surfers but also put local towns and businesses on the map.
“More importantly, these events will help us reboot the NSW economy in a COVID-safe way as we recover from the global health pandemic.
“NSW is home to some of the world’s most spectacular beaches and I’m thrilled that we can show them off to more visitors through Australia’s newest surfing event series.”
The 2020 Australian Open of Surfing will see Australian surfers take to the water, gaining valuable competition experience in preparation for the 2021 season. Each event will include up to 64 surfers in the men’s competition and 32 surfers in the women’s competition.
The Australian Open of Surfing – NSW Series is supported by the NSW Government via Destination NSW. Events in the series include:
- Cronulla Open – held from 8 - 9 November
- Port Macquarie Open – 14 - 15 November
- Kiama Open – 22 - 23 November
