A Sunny Return to Noosa

Beneath sunny skies and with a perfect Noosa swell rolling in, 14 incredible teams took to the waves in a high-energy showdown for the prestigious Best Wave Award.

Competitors travelled from across Australia, including Team Happy making the journey from Perth and Team Lani joining from Victoria. Before entering the water, competitors also shared a moment of silence to honour the surfing dogs lost over the years.

Proudly supported by VetShopAustralia and Simparica Trio, the 2025 Championships delivered another unforgettable afternoon of surf, sunshine and four-legged talent.
