Age no barrier to Noosa Festival of Surf

By JOLENE OGLE

There is no rest for the gnarly, with the planning of the 2015 Noosa Festival of Surfing (NFOS) already well underway.
Festival director Phil Jarratt helped launch the 2015 festival at Café Le Monde last Friday night, announcing the return of the Waterman Classic, new-look branding and a new website for the annual event.
Registrations are already open with 20 competitors already signed up for the 7 to 14 March event. As Phil said the festival village is just as loved as the surfing events.
“We’ve been very lucky and jagged good surf the past couple of years, but as well as that, people seem to love the vibe of the Festival Village on the beach, with live music and the bar rocking every night,” he said.
“A lot of people from around the world have realised that the Noosa Festival is one of the best family surfing holidays you can have.”
Phil said the festival represents “world class surfing and world class fun.”
