Sydney Surf Pro set for world class waves of North Narrabeen in 2023

We're excited to the partnering with the World Surf League (WSL) and Destination NSW to host the popular Sydney Surf Pro Challenger Series (CS) competition through 2024. 

The partnership will see the return of one of professional surfing's most iconic locations in North Narrabeen. Home to legends such as Simon Anderson, Nathan Hedge, Laura Enever, Terry Fitzgerald, and Damien Hardman to name a few, the high-performance left-handers of North Narrabeen have hosted dozens of professional events over the last four decades. This new partnership will see it sit as an annual fixture on the WSL calendar for the first time in over 10 years.

"WSL is extremely proud to be returning to North Narrabeen and continuing this location's strong lineage with professional surfing," said WSL APAC General Manager, Andrew Stark. "Having held a one-off CT event at North Narrabeen earlier this year and seeing the incredibly positive response from the local community, not to mention from the world's best surfers, it made total sense to put this location back on the schedule as an annual fixture and back on the world stage where it belongs. Locking this event in for the next three years is a massive achievement and we'd like to thank our hugely supportive partners at Destination NSW and The Northern Beaches Council. Without their support, important events like the Sydney Surf Pro wouldn't happen."

The Sydney Surf Pro has called Manly Beach home for over a decade and, with this move to North Narrabeen, the event will continue to display Sydney's Northern Beaches in all their glory to WSL's massive and engaged international fan base.

The event will see an international field of over 150 Challenger Series competitors descend on Sydney for over a week as they battle it out for a spot on the elite Championship Tour.

The influx of competitors and support staff will see a huge economic boost to the Northern Beaches area in the month of May.

The 2022 Sydney Surf Pro Challenger Series event will run at Manly beach from May 17 - 24, 2022. Dates for the 2023 and 2024 events will be announced with the entire competition calendar later in 2022.
