+ To generate increased economic activity in the southern Gold Coast tourism sector, with flow-on effects for all local businesses.

+ To celebrate the southern Gold Coast’s iconic beaches and endemic surf culture through creative, visual events that bring together the local community as well as the wider surf and creative communities at large.
