Pacific Pulse Surfing Contest

Next Wednesday, we will host our annual inter-primary school surfing contest, The Pacific Pulse. The contest has been running for the last 14 years and provides a great opportunity for young students to ride waves and represent their school. This year we have 48 surfers registered from the following schools:

• Pacific Lutheran College
• Good Shepherd Lutheran College
• Caloundra State School
• Our Lady of the Rosary
• Buddina State School
• Talara State College

The contest will be held at Kings Beach or Currimundi Beach (conditions dependent) with first heat in the water at 7.00am. Surfers will have the chance to surf in two individual heats as well as a school tag team heat.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank the following sponsors who have kindly supported our event this year. Without their generous support, our contest would not be able to go ahead.
