The aim of this event is to put Avalon Beach back on the Surfing Map where it rightly belongs as an iconic Surfing destination!
At the same time this provides a much needed surf competition for the youth of Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Following the success of last years Adrenalin 360 Surf & Skate competition at Avalon Beach, the event is on again! Now it’s over 2 days with new competitions and events. On Saturday evening there will be entertainment with movie, bands, food and a fascinating presentation on Avalon’s unique place in Surfing History.
