29/01/2013 Leave a comment

[Sunshine Coast, 10-16 March] The world’s biggest surfboard riding event, the Noosa Festival of Surfing, celebrates its 22nd anniversary in 2013 and it promises to be the best yet. The week-long festival celebrates the spirit of surfing in one of the world’s great surf locations, First Point at Noosa Heads.

The 2013 event will have new features on top of more than 20 pro, amateur, specialty and team surfing events. There’s free entertainment on a beach stage and the surf expo on the sand.
Some of the new activities are:

Like a Cup of Tea with God – the rich surfing history of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, presented in words, music, movies, photographs and art
Stand-alone Stand Up Paddle Mini Festival – a 2-day SUP extravaganza to kick off the festival with surf events, ocean racing, expo and beach entertainment
North Shore Jeep Surfari – disadvantaged and disabled kids join world champions for the surfing adventure of a lifetime
Dog Surfing gets serious – well, not too serious. Hot on the heels of the popular 2012 exhibition, this time it will be a competition.

The 2013 festival will once again be hosted by the Noosa Malibu Club and sanctioned by Surfing Australia.

The festival, which raised more than $8000 for Frangipani Dreams and the Noosa Malibu Club’s youth development scheme in 2012 will again donate bar profits to charity and community benefit organisations.

On-line competitor entries in amateur divisions, with age groups from under 15 to over 65 are open, with specialty, team and professional events to open soon.

The festival expects to attract more than 500 competitors, along with up to 5000 supporters and spectators from all over the world.

[Bells Beach, Torquay, 26 March - 6 April] The Rip Curl Pro will this year be celebrating the 51st anniversary of the Bells Beach Easter Rally and the Rip Curl Pro in Australia’s surfing home of Torquay.

The ASP World Tour’s best 34 male surfers, one Rip Curl Wildcard and one local Victorian Wildcard from the Championship Moves Trials will be at Bells over Easter to compete in the year’s second ASP World Tour contest. But it will be only one deserving winner who will get to ring the prized Bell on the final day of competition.

Joining the Men and Women of the ASP will be the world’s hottest 16-year-old junior talent, who will be in town competing in the international final of the Rip Curl GromSearch Series.

In tow with the action in the water, there will be plenty happening on land for fans, visitors and surfers alike, between the famous Bells contest site, the local pubs and legendary parties around town.

The Rip Curl Pro is the only professional sporting event allowed to be held on Easter Friday in Australia and since it is celebrating 51 years of competition at Bells, there is no better place to be for all sport fans!

Perth, St Jerome’s Laneway Festival

15/01/2013 Leave a comment

[Perth, 9 February] St Jerome’s Laneway Festival is about leading new and revered seminal music. The festival has always been interested in finding what’s fresh and great and bringing it to unique settings and surrounds to be appreciated by music lovers.

The size of the festivals, the locations and the way we encourage community all form part of the way in which the Laneway team strive to present an urban music experience like no other.

In 2012, Laneway will return to all seven cities it travelled to in 2011, with a line-up that promises to rival anything the festival has put on before.The Laneway team have more plans to further develop Laneway in Australia and overseas, and hope that the journey will continue to be one of learning, of great friendships both new and old and, of course, of introducing Laneway audiences to the most vital music the world has to offer.
