Western Australia is set to again host an international field of surfers at events in Mandurah and Yallingup.
Between October 19 and 27, consecutive men's and women's QS1,000 events will be held as a part of the WA Pro Surf Series.
Tourism Minister Paul Papalia said the Series will highlight the State's "spectacular" coastline and beaches, as well as the "fantastic" surf conditions to out-of-state spectators and competitors.
“Events like these are great for regional areas, they give people a reason to visit, create a sense of excitement, promote the destination and benefit the local econom," Minister Papalia said.
"With the action taking place across both Mandurah and Yallingup, it is also a perfect opportunity for visitors to explore some of what the State has to offer with a road trip.”
The first event of the series will take place in Mandurah from October 19 to 22.
"It is fantastic to have the Western Australian Pro Surf Series returning to city shores with the Mandurah Pro," said Mandurah Mayor Rhys Williams.
“This elite event is perfectly suited to Mandurah’s beautiful beaches and awesome surf breaks and I am certainly proud to showcase our city to the local, interstate and international competitors and visitors alike.
"I wish the competitors luck and encourage everyone to get down to the beach and show their support.”
The second event of the series, the Cape Naturaliste Pro, will be held in the Busselton area from October 24 to 27.
The WA Pro Surf Series will reignite the race for the World Surf League Australia / Oceania Regional Qualifying Series, with the winner of each season gaining a seed into the major QS events in the opening half of 2020.
With only three events left on the calendar, the WA events will have massive implications in the career of up and coming QS surfers.
"The WA Pro Surf Series will provide a much-needed stepping stone for West Australian surfers to compete in an internationally rated event on home soil," said Surfing WA Events Manager Justin Majeks.
