The Burton Automotive Newcastle SURFEST marks the beginning of the 2025 Challenger Series and is the start of the climb towards securing a place on the Championship Tour. Over 120 surfers will make their way to Merewether Beach to vye for a coveted spot on the reimagined 2026 CT. As the first test of the season, it draws both rising talent and proven competitors, all with something to prove. Set in one of Australia's most iconic surf towns, this event sets the pace, raises the stakes, and defines who's ready to rise. The Newcastle Surfest will be the first stop on the 2025 World Surf League Challenger Series. Running from 2 June to 8 June, the event will showcase local and international surfers battling head-to-head for a qualifying position.
Trestles is where the real title race begins. After the Mid-season Cut, only the best of the Championship Tour surfers remain, and every heat carries World Title implications. Set against one of the most high-performance waves in the world, the Lexus Trestles Pro isn’t just another stop, but it’s the proving ground for champions.
