2019 World Longboard Championship
IT’S OFFICIAL! It’s taken a while and we’ve had to be a bit cagey about it, but today we are absolutely stoked to officially announce that the World Surf League will be joining the Noosa Festival of Surfing 2019. The WSL Noosa Longboard Open will be the first stop on the 2019 World Longboard Championship for both men and women, taking place in the second half of next year’s festival. With our own festival activities and divisions taking place from 2-6 March, the WSL will then take over First Point between 7-10 March in a spectacular finale to the 28th annual Noosa Festival of Surfing.
Huge thanks to World Surf League, Tourism Noosa Team, Tourism & Events Queensland, Noosa Malibu Club and World Surfaris for making this happen!
Highway Mural - Sunshine Coast
Okay here we go again. …
l am happy to say l am repainting the Sunny coast’s favorite Wave mural this weekend coming … Thanks to the airport management we have now cctv camera’s, night lighting and a anti graffiti clear over the top + financial support .. looking forward to returning the Mural to it’s glory for us all to enjoy again even at night.
THE destruction by graffiti artists of an iconic Sunshine Coast mural set in former cane land off the Sunshine Motorway north of Pacific Paradise has sparked widespread anger overnight.
The painting of Old Woman Island with offshore swept waves has been seen by thousands of motorists every day since artist Owen Cavanagh first painted in 2001.
Community anger has erupted after an iconic artwork lining the Sunshine Coast Motorway was vandalised.The mural had survived, untouched for more than a decade.#7News
