Drumroll please….!
This weekend we inducted two new members into the Australian Surfing Walk of Fame, which is proudly displayed on the foreshore at Maroubra Beach. Started in 2006, the Australian Surfing Walk of Fame recognises and celebrates the outstanding achievements of Australia’s leading surfers and surf lifesavers.
The Surfing Walk of Fame is a prestigious and sought after award within Australia's surfing beach culture. Inductees are highly regarded and considered 'Legends of Surf' - water men and water women. Each year, the surfers and surf life savers inducted into the Australian Surfing Walk of Fame have a bronze plaque laid into the promenade at the Beach Breaks Carnival held in Maroubra.
This year, at the 2019 Beach Breaks Carnival, we inducted two new members to the Australian Surfing Walk of Fame. Congratulations to both of them for their remarkable achievements in surf.
