Australian Waveski Titles
Past Champions

Competition waveski surfing originated in 1978 with the inaugural Australian Waveski Championships being held in 1980. Despite the number of competitive surfers changing signifcantly over the last 28 years, the Australian titles has run every year since. The historic record of our past champions has quite a few gaps.
