The Hyundai Boardriders Battle returns in 2025, featuring top surfers and ongoing WSL controversies.

The Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle Grand Final is set to electrify Burleigh Heads on March 8-9, 2025, as Australia’s premier surf clubs clash for supremacy. Over 80 surfers will compete for coveted state team spots and a wildcard entry into the prestigious Bells Beach event. This competition promises to showcase the best talent in Australian surfing.

In recent surfing events, Ben Considine and Bea Conroy claimed victory at the Victorian Longboard Titles Round 1 at Phillip Island, further highlighting the competitive spirit among surfers vying for state team positions and opportunities at Bells Beach.

Meanwhile, three-time world champion Mick Fanning has put his stunning beachfront estate, `Rolling Seas`, on the market, hoping to secure over $10 million. In professional surfing developments, Kenvue has been announced as the Official Suncare Partner for the 2025 Championship Tour, kicking off with the Lexus Pipe Pro.

The World Surf League (WSL) faces ongoing scrutiny regarding its handling of competitor jerseys, particularly the absence of Tyler Wright`s pride flag from her signed event winner jersey. This controversy underscores the WSL`s inconsistent support for athletes` platforms, especially in regions with varying views on LGBTQ+ rights. Despite these challenges, the WSL continues to offer signed memorabilia from recent events, including jerseys from notable surfers like Tyler Wright and Italo Ferreira.
