The Surfers’ Ball

A big crowd braved the rain on Saturday night for the Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s fundraising Surfers’ Ball at Sunshine Beach Surf Club.

Special guest former surf champion Gary “Kong” Elkerton wowed the crowd with a special screening of his vintage surf flick “Kong’s Island” and a great trip down memory lane with the highlights of his amazing career. A surfboard and memorabilia auction raised more than $3000 towards the NWSR stewardship program for 2021, thanks to persuasive auctioneer Cowboy Bob Johnson, who then got back behind his drum kit as the SandFlys rocked the night away.
