Jim Beam Boardriders Cup

The Jim Beam Boardriders Cup National Final is the Champion of Champions for Australia's Grass Roots surfers. Surfers at club level compete in their monthly Boardriding Club contests with each club's Open Surfing Division sponsored by Jim Beam. These monthly club events determine each club's Jim Beam Boardriders Cup Champion who qualifies thru to the Jim Beam Boardriders Cup National Final.

The JBBRC is a truly National competition with sixty five Boardriding Club's from NSW, QLD, WA, VIC and SA all taking part in 2009/10. Each club's Jim Beam Boardriders Cup Champion receives $500 with the JBBRC National Champion winning $2,000.

The 2009 Jim Beam Boardriders Cup National Final was a classic showdown with Umina's Glen "Micro" Hall being crowned National Champion.

Hall defeated veteran ASP World Tour surfer and former world number 3 (1989 and 1992) Dave Macaulay (Margaret River /WA) in a one sided final with Hall opening with an outstanding 9.33 and shortly after backing that score up with an excellent 8.33 in the exceptional clean 1m surf.

"Australian Boardriding clubs have never been stronger and I'm proud to win this today not just for myself but also as Umina Boardriders club representative – it’s a fantastic club and today's win is all about the club which is really what this whole weekend is about" said Hall after his easy win.

Five new Boardriding Clubs have since been signed up to join the growing competition. The new club's are Southbridge, Blacksmith's, Tea Tree, Port Macquarie, (all NSW) and Duranbah (QLD).

The 2010 JBBRC National Final will see a world class field of surfers from all over Australia competing for the title of Australia's No.1 club surfer.
