Tasmania's biggest surfing event is back for it’s fourth year in 2026 - and is bigger than ever!

 

The 2026 Red Herring Pro-Am brings a boosted $25,000 prize pool, so expect fierce battles across every division. The Man-on-Man and Woman-on-Woman semi-finals and finals will return, puttin the spotlight squarely on the state's best surfers as they go head-to head for the win.

 

We're also stoked to announce the addition of U16 Boys and Girls divisions to the lineup. That upgrade bumps our Surfing Australia Junior Series rating from 3,500 to 5,500 points - meaning even more ranking power, more competition, and more national attention. With ratings points counting toward ISA Junior World Titles selection, you can bet the U16 and U18 heats will be stacked with top talent from around the country.

 

With license to roam the South Arm & Tasman Peninsula, it's going to be an epic weekend of competition.
