Surfest adopted a festival-style approach in 2015, with smaller, more official events held on surrounding beaches in the lead-up to the main event. |
|||
It is Newcastle's only annual international sporting event and attracts more than 200 surfers, with many coming from around the globe. Former winners include local Novocastrian [[Mark Richards]]. It is rumoured that 2008's Surfest will be moved to Merewether for financial reasons. |
