Surf’s up – time for some fun!

It’s nearly upon us!
Without a doubt Noosa’s biggest festival event and eight days of fun in the sun – the Laguna Real Estate Noosa Festival of Surfing – kicks off next week.
NFOS 2017 will be the most-attended festival in its 26-year history, with around 850 surfers gathering on the beach at First Point Noosa, but all is not lost for those still wishing to surf.
A handful of spots remain in the senior men’s divisions, and both Teams and Noosa Civic Family Challenge divisions are still open.
After a summer of short-lived and sporadic swells, climatic shifts are now bringing some superb waves, just in time for the festival’s start.
The competitors have signed up, the contest schedule is mapped out and it looks like even Huey the Wave God has received his invitation.
Most of the divisions are now filled with many having extensive waiting lists of hopefuls looking for a last minute drop out place to fill.
If you are still desperate to take part, grab a family member or three stoked buddies for the Noosa Civic Family Challenge or Teams Challenge; both have a few spots remaining.
Visit the surf fest online at www.noosafestivalofsurfing.com for more information and stay tuned in the next issue of Noosa Today for a timetable of events.
