“We are extremely excited about the Subway®
Surf Series and the fact it will also act as the WSL
Australasian Junior Qualifying Series, offering
Australian junior surfers seven fantastic events across
five states in iconic surf locations.”
Proudly supported by WSL, Surfing Australia and
Billabong, the Subway® Surf Series was created to fill
a competition void which exists at a crucial point in the
development of Australia’s leading junior surfers.
It represents an important link in the ‘pathway to the
podium’ developed by Surfing Australia, with surfers
now able to progress from the Weet-Bix SurfGroms
program, onto the Wahu Surfer Groms Comps, into the
Subway® Surf Series, followed by the Original Source
Australian Boardriders Battle.
Gina Kahler, Regional Marketing Director, Subway®
Australia and New Zealand, said she was delighted the
Subway® Surf Series was entering its second year.
“Subway® Restaurants fuels Australian consumers
with the energy they need to go and get the most out
of life, which is exactly what our junior surfers are doing.
“We hope the Subway® Surf Series continues to
inspire young Australians to be healthy and active this
summer - to eat well - and go do the things they love to
do,” Kahler concluded.
WSL World Tour female competitor Laura Enever
also joins Parkinson as an ambassador for the Subway®
Surf Series, attending events and mentoring junior
surfers.
“I’m so happy to see the partnership with the
Subway® Surf Series and the WSL. The Pro Junior
Qualifying Series was such an important part of my
junior career and it’s great that the kids coming through
the ranks today will have the same opportunities with
these events added. It gives them so much to work
towards and look forward too. I can’t wait to watch.”
Enever said.
