Gold Coast Hosts Biggst Surfing Events

The surfing world will converge on the Gold Coast from 26 February to 9 March as two of the biggest surfing events kick start the 2011 ASP Men’s and Women’s World Tours.

The 2011 Quiksilver Pro presented by Land Rover will feature the world’s top male surfers including the likes of reigning and ten-time x World Champion Kelly Slater (USA), two-time World Champion Mick Fanning (AUS) and hometown hero Joel Parkinson (AUS).

The Gold Coast’s most southern break of Snapper Rocks will also be host to the women’s Roxy Pro presented by Land Rover and brings together the world’s top female surfers including the reigning and four-time World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) and world number two Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS).

Gold Coast, Famous for fun.

The Gold Coast is known as Australia’s favourite holiday destination. The new brand, “Famous for Fun”, covers the personality, variety, and energy of the Gold Coast holiday experience.

The problem many tourists have is deciding what to do, where to eat, where to stay and how much fun can be crammed in between the ocean and the hinterland!   By air, land and sea, even on a scooter!

For gay tourists – singles, couples and families – there are plenty of options and operators who are extending a gay welcome. Read more about the generic fun on Visit Gold Coast and about gay fun in the Gay & Lesbian Destination Guide.
