Noosa World Surfing Reserve will celebrate the success of its new Friends program with a great night of entertainment at Boiling Pot Brewery this weekend.
Since the Friends program was introduced during the Noosa Festival of Surfing in March, more than 50 people have signed up to support the ongoing work of the NWSR stewardship council and receive the benefits and rewards of membership.
Friends of the NWSR go into a monthly prize draw for surf-related prizes valued at $450, but at the Boiling Pot night they and other members of the surfing public will also be able to enter a raffle for an MV2 mid-length twin fin surfboard from Thomas Surfboards, who have signed on as main surfboard sponsors of the NWSR for the next three years.
Shaper Thomas Bexon said, “The six-foot-seven MV2 is effortless to ride with endless amounts of speed. It has plenty of paddle power combined with the subtle vee into vee-double-concave that means it will go rail to rail with ease.
“It’s surprisingly responsive, but with enough hold that will let you push when you want to. A classic mid-length with performance capabilities that will astound you.”
The free event at the Boiling Pot will start at 5.30pm on Saturday 23 July, and feature music from open champion at the recent Noosa Busking Contest, Sari Abbott.
Plenty of food and drink at reasonable prices, and the NWSR team will be there with a merchandise stand and information about its good works, like its surf safety program and the installation of life saving defibrillator stations right around the surf breaks of the Reserve, plus how to become a Friend.
As a thank you for their support, existing Friends of NWSR will receive a free welcome drink and discounted pizza. Says NWSR president Kirra Molnar, “Everyone is welcome. If you’re not involved yet then this is a perfect opportunity to come along and see what it’s all about. Our Friends program is a way for surfers to give back, to get involved and share your feedback with us. Help us to share, respect and preserve our wonderful waves and enjoy the social, cultural, economic and environmental aspects of our world-recognised surfing reserve. Please RSVP via email to noosaworldsurfingreserve@gmail.com or DM us on Instagram to ensure a booking.”
