It’s that time of year again – the world’s best pro surfers descend on Snapper Rocks for the eagerly anticipated Quicksilver and Roxy Pros. From March 11 to March 22, Cooly will be buzzing as the best of the best battle it out on one of the world’s most iconic right-hand surf breaks.

Among the big names competing is Mick Fanning (who has just announced his retirement), Joel Parkinson, John John Florence, Owen Wright, Gabriel Medina, Mikey Wright, Tyler Wright, Stephanie Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons, to name a few.

The best part? All of the action happens just metres from the sand. If you’ve never experienced the sheer spectacle of a premier surfing event in real life, you’re in for a real treat. Even if you’re not a mad surfer, there’s still plenty to see and do.

Check the World Surf League website daily for weather updates to determine whether the comp will go ahead.
