The event, organised by pro surfer Sally Fitzgibbons, is to honour Australia’s eight female world champions with the likes of Tyler Wright and Layne Beachley on hand for the event.

The following week from November 3-6 the surfers will be joined by around 85 young guns from around the world at the Sydney International women’s pro, the centrepiece of Fitzgibbons’ inaugural International Beach Festival at Cronulla.
