The elite four-day QS1,000 rated event will form the first of three stops on the Vissla NSW Pro Surf Series and will take place in Maroubra Beach from the 23rd January - 26th January 2019. The event will also kickstart the new calendar year for the 2019 WSL Australia / Oceania QS series.
Entered into the Men's division is a range of former WSL Championship Tour surfers including Keanu Asing, Connor O'Leary, Stuart Kennedy and Mitch Crews.
"I'm stoked to get to Australia and kick off my year in my sponsor's event," said Asing. "I hope I can get the ball rolling early in 2019, especially after some less than ideal results last year. I hope I can use this event to build my heat confidence for the entire year."
