Vissla Cosmic Creek – Saturday 26 August @ Wategos Beach
The Vissla Cosmic Creek will run all day on Saturday 26 August at the end of The Pass in front of Waves Cafe. Should conditions not be suitable, we will move the contest to Wategos.
Competitors will take turns riding a mixture of retro twin and single fin boards kindly donated by surf museums and collectors all over Australia. Competitors will spin the magic board wheel to decide what board you ride in the heat.
Surfers get one heat on the twin fin and one heat on the single fin. Points tallied across both heats to find a winner.
The afterparty will be at The Beach Hotel Byron Bay where Vissla will host a presentation.
The Vissla Cosmic Creek schedule is posted below. The surf location is Wategos Beach.
