High Line Surf Fest releases huge program

A JAM-PACKED lineup of surf specific activations and workshops have been locked in for the inaugural High Line Surf Fest next weekend.

The March 9 event at the Torquay SLSC will invite women and non-binary ocean lovers of all ages and abilities to honour surf culture.

A guided walk on Wadawurrung Country with Traditional Owners will start the festivities under the morning sky.

It will be followed by an intermediate and advanced surf session with Surf Her Way coaches Angela King and Tiffany Riggs.

Panels shows and two separate dance and movement workshops will take place before lunch, then the women will jump in the water for the High Line Tag Team event.

A local boardriders information session and a keynote panel chat about shaping surf culture will wrap up the day before DJ Deep Velour takes over.

The event will also feature Food from Feed Me Surf Coast and drinks from the Torquay SLSC and Blackmans Brewery.

High Line Surf Fest co-organiser Ula Majewksi said the program encapsulated everything good about women in surfing.

“We are just so excited about the inaugural women’s surf festival!

“We’ve got women coming from right across the state to come and connect with each other and share the stoke.

“It’s a huge and beautiful program of really diverse panels, workshops, a friendly tag team, an amazing DJ and some other really fun activities.

“It’s going to be one not to miss, and we are so thankful for all the community support thus far.”

Several raffle draws will also be on the agenda throughout the day, with proceeds supporting Surfrider Foundation, the Torquay SLSC and a coral reef rejuvenation project in Fiji.

Tickets to the event are free.
