Navy sponsors surf boats
The launch of the Royal Australian Navy as the naming rights sponsor of the Australian Surf Boat Rowers League was today held at Manly beach.
Together, Deputy Fleet Commander, Commodore Simon Cullen, AM, RAN, Mr Bert Hunt, President of Australian Surf Rowers Association and Lieutenant Commander Adrian Lister, Defence Force Recruiting (DFR) welcomed this combined partnership.
“The event of surfboat racing not only provides a wonderful sporting spectacle, but like Navy, also serves an important community service by protecting Australians,” Commodore Cullen said.
“On behalf of the Royal Australian Navy, I would like to say that I am delighted to be involved in a sport that encourages fit, healthy Australians, and performs an invaluable service to our community.”
The inaugural ‘Navy, The Team Works, Surf Rowers National League’ will showcase the sport of Surf Boat racing around the nation, in every state this summer.
A total of 24 event days and venues are planned from November to February culminating in the annual interstate Surf Boats Teams Challenge, and the 2009 Australian Open Surf Boat Championships at Broulee in February 2009.
