Phillip Island will host the second round of the Australian Boardriders Battle on the weekend (September 24), following the opening round at Trigg in WA.

The Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle is one of the most highly anticipated events on the Surfing Australia calendar. Each year, the ABB pits the best boardrider clubs from each state against one another in an epic surfing battle that culminates in a world-renowned Grand Final where Australia’s best boardrider club is decided.

The final will be held at the Gold Coast in March 2024.

This year, the Boardriders Battle has an exciting new format.

Surfing Australia has expanded the teams format to include 32 boardrider clubs (previously 24) from across Australia with more than $115, 000 in total prize money up for grabs throughout the series.

Four of the regional events (Phillip Island, Coffs Harbour, Sunshine Coast and North Narrabeen) as well as the Grand Final will be live-streamed on the mySURFtv YouTube channel and Kayo Sports.
