The Burton Automotive Newcastle SURFEST Presented by Bonsoy Finals Day is locked after high-performance, head-to-head battles ensued.
Contenders made their move to the first Finals Day of 2025 Challenger Series action with local hero Ryan Callinan holding down home waters. But, a high-caliber cast of competitors await including Round of 16 standouts Peterson Crisanto, Dimitri Poulos, and Xavier Huxtable surging. From CT veteran Sally Fitzgibbons to 14-year-old phenom Tya Zebrowski, the women's Quarterfinals is stacked and ready to fight for SURFEST glory. Major moments for Poulos and Kirra Pinkerton earned them wildcards into the upcoming Lexus Trestles Pro, but first - business awaits in Newcastle to claim a major result to start the 2025 Challenger Series season. Not to mention the Bonsoy Legends Heat paying homage to some of Australian surfing's icons past and present including Mitch Ross, Matt Hoy, Julian Wilson, Philippa Anderson, and Jackson Baker.
