The Noosa Longboard Pro has attracted over 50 of Australia and Oceania's best longboarders, who are all on the hunt for qualification points as they look to book a spot on the 2023 WSL Longboard Tour. After the two LQS events, first Noosa and then Manly, first place on the men's and women's rankings will earn a spot on the four-stop Longboard Tour.
The event will feature Noosa locals Emily Lethbridge, Sierra Lerback, and Kathryn Hughes. All competitors will have their work cut out, with 2015 World Longboarding Champion Rachael Tilly (USA) headlining the competition this week.
In the men's division, the next generation of Australia's World Longboard Championship hopefuls will hit the water this week with the likes of Victoria's Ben Considine, Byron Bay's Kai Ellis-Flint, along Northern Beaches locals Jack Entwistle and Anthony Spencer to name a few, seeded into the opening round.
