Red Bull Foam Wreckers
Get set for some action to hit our shores in 2022 because a brand-new surfing event is coming to the coast! Check out Red Bull Foam Wreckers, the brainchild of global surfing icon Jamie O’Brien who collaborated with Red Bull to produce the event that will be held at Burleigh Heads on February 19. Described as an ‘anti-surf contest’ surf contest, it has just one very simple requirement: you must ride a soft-top (foamie) surfboard. That’s pretty much it! Catch as many waves as you want, and ride them however you’d like, the goal is to have more fun than everybody else. Foam Wreckers has even partnered with Mick Fanning to provide soft boards for comp entrants to use, so all you need to bring down to the beach on event day is yourself.
Before your heat, take a spin of the Wheel of Shred to determine which soft-board model you’re going to rip on. You’ll paddle out with up to eight of your closest (new) friends all on different soft-boards and proceed to stake your claim as the most unique soft-board surfer!
