Stubbies (surfing)

Stubbies (surfing)

The Stubbies was a surf competition held annually, in about March, at Burleigh Heads, Queensland from 1977 to 1988(?). The event was named after its sponsor the Stubbies clothing brand and was one of the three major Australian surfing competitions of its day (the other two being the Bells Beach Classic and Surfabout).

History

The contest was established in 1977, organised that year by surfer Peter Drouyn. He devised for it the "man on man" heat system where just two surfers competed in each heat (where before four or even six was normal). The man-on-man system is still used in ASP World Tour contests today.
