Each year, Margaret River’s Surfer’s Point plays host to the world’s best surfers, all chasing a win as they vie for the World Surf League’s World Title in the Western Australia Margaret River Surf Pro.
This year, Margaret River is number two of 12 stops across 9 countries on the circuit. This season also marks pro surfing’s 50th year.
This week, Kellie Tannock speaks to World Surfing League’s Asa Pacific President, Andrew Stark on the Pro’s history, evolution and exposure for the Margaret River Region.
She also speaks two former surf champions who are hugely influential in the local surfing scene, Mike McAuliffe and Dave Macaulay, who share tips on Pro for residents and visitors, and explain why the event is so important for the community.
