Shaw and Partners World Ocean Series – Brighton Jetty Classic 5,000 pts
We’re back in the City of Churches, with Adelaide hosting the second-last stop of the Shaw and Partners World Ocean Series Southern State Showdown. Brighton Beach sets the stage for a crucial weekend of racing as the series tightens and championship momentum begins to take shape.
This event is a pivotal moment for both Surf Life Saving South Australia and the Shaw and Partners World Ocean Series, driving participation, visibility, and growth for one of Australia’s most iconic sports. With strong local support and a deep surf-sports culture, Brighton continues to prove itself as a standout venue on the national calendar.
Looking ahead to the weekend, an abundance of athletes have travelled far and wide to descend on Brighton Beach. Headlining the field is Manly’s Hayden Cotter, who has enjoyed significant success across recent World Ocean Series campaigns and arrives in strong form. But write off South Australia at your peril. Throughout the Southern State Showdown, SA talent particularly across the board and skihas been nothing short of exceptional, matching it with some of the best athletes in the world and ready to defend home sands once again.
