SURF’S UP FOR FESTIVAL

THE EASTERN BEACHES WILL BE ABUZZ WITH SURFERS THIS MONTH AS THE ANNUAL NOOSA FESTIVAL OF SURFING ROLLS INTO TOWN.

The festival, on from March 3 to 12, will include all manner of events including the premiere of the surfing documentary The Long Road to Grajagan on March 5 from 6pm at the Deus Noosa Store at 15 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads.

The 10-day event features all manner of surfing competitions, live music, a beach bar and surfboard shaping and art exhibitions as well.

Surfing events are scheduled for First Point, Rivermouth, or Castaways Beach from March 4 to 12, daily from 7am.

The ever popular Surfing Dog Championships are to be held on March 4 from 3pm at First Point, Noosa, and International Women’s Day on March 8 features a Womens Surf Festival from 7am to 11am at the Beach Bar.
