2012 Surf Slam Sponsorship
The Sunshine Coast Jet Sport Club Inc would like to present a unique Sponsorship opportunity.
We have created a two day, action-packed Jet Ski event that will see both National and International riders compete at Mudjimba Beach, in the heart of the Sunshine Coast Queensland. This year will be the second running of this event following huge success last year. We are looking to build the event further and we have already received Maritime Safety Queensland and Sunshine Coast Regional Council approvals. The event will be held over the Queen’s birthday weekend, Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th of June.
2012 Surf Slam consists of the:
2012 Krash Industries Australian Freestyle Championship 9th June 2012 (Saturday)
2012 PWC Australian MotoSurf Championships 9th June 2012 (Saturday)
Qld Rip ‘n’ Ride 10th June 2012 (Sunday)
Saturday will be an action-packed competition with the Krash Industries Australian Freestyle Championship and the PWC MotoSurf Championships. The PWC MotoSurf Championships will see riders come from throughout Australia come to compete at the highest level of Jet Ski racing in the nation. They will focus their efforts to get their hands on the exclusive trophy, and be named as the Australian #1 Surf Rider for 2012.
Sunday will be more of a social event with the Qld Rip n’’ Ride.
In its fifth year of success, the Rip ‘n’ Ride has expanded to be held in three states throughout the year. This is an opportunity for beginners and professional riders to ride together and for spectators to view the latest, greatest and never before attempted aerial tricks at the sport’s peak.
Following the conclusion of the Sunday Rip n Ride event, there will be a trophy presentation & PWC Stunt Show by international-class rider Jon Cooke, known for his performance in SeaWorld’s ski show. The prize giving will be held at the International award winning Novotel Twin Waters Resort.
With the who’s who of local and international riders combined and the newest faces to the sport, this will be a standalone event on the Australian jet-ski calendar. It offers the opportunity to both riders and spectators to see a combination of disciplines (freestyle & surf racing).
Our club is a non-profit organisation which aims to promote the fun and responsible use of personal watercraft in a safe environment. The sport has gained substantial interest in the past few years and is yet to reach its peak in attracting spectators.
To host these great events we need to raise funds…this is where you can help!

1. Financial Sponsorship: Naming rights for the event (prime position in all the advertising, media, including pre & post event and inclulsion in the video which has been commissioned, significant promotion by commentator & competitors on the day, prime position for marketing flags, tents etc at the event)
