THE public has spoken and the invitees for the 2022 Bells Beach 50 Year Storm surfing event in memory of local legend Shaun Brooks are set.<\/p>\n

Last week, public voting platforms closed with 30 lucky surfers including inaugural event winners Tim Stevenson, Angela Ball and Jeff Sweeney gaining the honour to take part.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the gathering will aim to shed a light on mental health and wellbeing on the biggest surfing day of the winter season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event purpose is to raise awareness around mental wellbeing and create a platform to assist with others in the community who require support,\u201d event organiser and close friend of Brooks, Carlo Lowden said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThirty surfers have been nominated overall, with 25 spots voted on by the public through the online voting portal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe remaining five wildcards were decided by the Brooks family and the 50 Year Storm Committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we will also have the inclusion of one big wave surfer from each boardriders club around the state, which goes into the overall spot allocations.\u201d<\/p>\n

2021 winner Tim Stevenson is one of the 30 competitors set to feature once again in the new format, and can\u2019t wait to surf against some of the best big wave surfers in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a special event that brings the community together, not just the surfers but also spectators,\u201d Stevenson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAside from the Rip Curl Pro it\u2019s been the biggest crowd I\u2019ve ever seen in Victoria.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo highlight mental health themes and issues on the biggest day of the winter is something really special and an honour to be a part of.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to surf with everyone and hopefully we get a stomper of a swell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to generous donations from sponsors and fundraising, the event has raised more than $45,000 for the beneficiaries One in Five and headspace.<\/p>\n

The encounter will once again look to put mental health in the public eye, whilst also being a platform for equality in the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event is one of the only in the world that includes men and women together, showing that equality in surfing is real,\u201d Lowden said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to hopefully run again this winter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alternate spots have also been decided with a list of 20 surfers ready to suit up if the opportunity strikes.<\/p>\n

The event window is between June 1 through August 31 and will run in the biggest and best conditions of the waiting period.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for announcements about mental health workshops which are set to be held in the lead-up to the one day extravaganza.<\/p>\n
