Published on 25/09/2022

Seaview Road Boardriders have won the 22/23 Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle (ABB) presented by Zambrero South Australian qualifier.

This solidifies their place in the National Final as well as netting them $1500 dollars for the club.

The third stop of the country’s biggest grassroots boardriders event showcased SA clubs competing in 2-3 foot surf at the Bay, Middleton.

Roaders which was established in 1964 is the oldest club in South Australia and has a rich history of producing some of the state’s most successful competitive surfers.

“We are really excited, this is the first time we have won the competition in SA and we can’t wait to travel to the national finals next year. Thanks to all the sponsors and the event organisers.” said Cheryl Peat, Seaview Road Boardriders Club team manager.

The Oakley Prizm award went to Digby Tooze (SRBC) and the Harvey Norman High Performer award for a junior surfer to Corey Taylor. Alan Peat was also rewarded for being a consistent standout surfer for SRBC throughout the day.

Final Results: 1st, Seaview Road Boardriders Club, 2nd South Coast Boardriders Club, 3rd Seaford Boardriders Club

The Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle is an unprecedented event series involving over 60 of Australia’s Boardriders Clubs in eight State qualifying events and culminating in a National Final for 24 clubs at the Grand Final in February 2023.
