The Surfest Indigenous Classic returns in February 2027 as part of a bumper program of community events that lead into the World Surf League Challenger Series. A mainstay on the Surfest calendar, the Indigenous Classic features eight divisions alongside a traditional welcome ceremony and vibrant Indigenous Business Precinct.

Last year’s event attracted around 50 competitors from across the eastern seaboard alongside 20+ businesses. The event reached more than 250,000 people across traditional media and garnered around 4,000 content interactions on the Surfest social media channels.
