Now in its 28th year, the annual Australian Jesus Pro Am will move to
Newcastle, NSW for a massive event November 17-18. The Pro Am is a
favourite for Australian surfers - as much for its excessive food and
hospitality as its prize money! It is also the only contest of its kind
to have equal prize money for both men's and women's divisions.
Check
out the event's newly relaunched website
and to learn some of the history of the Pro Am in the 90's read an
extract from our forthcoming history book at the end of the newsletter.
