'''Surfest''' is an annual [[surfing]] [[competition]] held in [[Newcastle, Australia|Newcastle]], [[New South Wales|NSW]], [[Australia]]. Surfest began back in [[1985]] as an initiative of Newcastle City Council, who were looking for a major event to host within the city. Back then, the [[BHP Billiton|BHP Steel International]] was the richest professional surfing event in the world. |

'''Surfest''' is an annual [[surfing]] competition held in [[Newcastle, New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. Surfest began in 1985 as an initiative of Newcastle City Council, and at the time, was the world's richest surfing competition. The event runs for thirteen days, and from the 2007 event, has been held at Merewether Beach, having been held between Newcastle Beach and South Newcastle Beach in the past. |
|||
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. |
|||
In [[1995]] to mark the events 10th anniversary, organisers renamed the main event in honour of Newcastle's [[Mark Richards]] - calling it the Mark Richards Newcastle City Pro. Whilst not the richest in cash terms, the event embodied the hospitality of Newcastle as a city and competitors came in their throngs to get a piece of the WQS 4 Star ratings and prizemoney but also to pay tribute to 4 time world champ Mark Richards. Since then, Surfest has grown substantially. Since [[2000]], organisers have secured a naming rights sponsor in Energy Australia. |
