Shoalhaven City Council Mayor Amanda Findley said: "The Shoalhaven is so proud to be a part of this year's Australasian World Surf League circuit. The Shoalhaven coastline has firmly earnt its place on the national and international holiday surfing map and we welcome competitors, family, and friends of the competition to the region. Sharing our region through events like this, support the growth of this sport and also provide a great boost to visitation during our quieter seasons."

"I'm really looking forward to the next few events on the Junior Series, especially heading down to Culburra," said Walters.
