Surfing Victoria and WorkSafe Victoria have announced the return of the WorkSafe Tradies Surf Challenge at URBNSURF this October.
The event will take place on October 29, and aims to bring together surfing tradies from around the state to Australia’s first wave park for a fun and relaxing surfing competition.
WorkSafe executive director of external affairs Sam Jenkin said the competition is a fantastic way for tradies to connect and strengthen bonds, which can in turn contribute to safer workplaces.
“The camaraderie and conversations that come from events such as this help to increase awareness and concern for each other’s safety on the worksite,” he said.
The event features Open Mens, Open Womens, Masters Open and Bodyboard Open divisions with a huge raft of prizes from WorkSafe, Heaps Normal and Milwaukee Tools.
Surfing Victoria chief executive Adam Robertson said the organization is ‘stoked’ to be heading back to URBNSURF for the WorkSafe Tradies Challenge.
“We know that there are a lot of surfing tradies out there across the state and this is a great way for them to catch up and get involved in a fun day of waves at URBNSURF,” he said.
All competitors will receive free-surfing time in the URBNSURF lagoon separate to their competition heats.
