Eight strong NSW teams have been named to defend the Surf Boat Interstate Cup, set to run at Bulli beach on 10 February.
Conducted alongside the ASRL Open, the combined NSW squad has won the annual competition for the past eight years and will be looking to take one step further towards a tilt at an incredible 10-straight in 2024.
The Interstate Cup is a one-day-event and an opportunity for crews from around Australia to go head-to-head with their interstate rivals.
The NSW team has been selected by combining the best two results from three selection carnivals held throughout the season – the last of which coming at North Steyne on the weekend of 14 – 15 January.
South Curl Curl is represented three times with their Open Women’s, U23 Women’s and U19 Men’s crews named, while Palm Beach will supply the Reserve Men’s and U23 Men’s teams.
Bulli, North Curl Curl and Batemans Bay each have a team named.
