Green Aussie Cleaner ® Partners Up With The Australian Longboard Surfing Open To Become A 3 Star ASP LQS Event
Kingscliff Pumping
It’s been a big week for the Australian Longboard Surfing Open with NSW Dept of Sport and Rec announcing a small grant to help the event. Following this came the exciting news that the Green Aussie Cleaner ® would become involved as the naming sponsor for the ASP LQS Men's Division.
Event Manager Sean McKeown had this to say about the announcements. "Its been a great start to the new year for professional longboarding here in Australia with the announcement that the NSW Department of Sport and Rec is supporting the new Australian Longboard Surfing Open. A major boost for the event is that a locally grown business Green Aussie Cleaner ® has taken up the naming rights to make the ASP Longboard Qualifying Series a 3 star event."
When making the sponsorship announcement the founder for Green Aussie Cleaner ® said he sees a very natural relationship and synergy between his natural products (which span over nearly two decades of local history) with the prestigious event. Now that Green Aussie Cleaner ® has now joined forces with the Australian Longboard Surfing Open this partnership should be a winner for the surfers, the ocean and Green Aussie Cleaner ®. "It makes a lot of sense that Green Aussie Cleaner ® in producing world class Australian products designed and manufactured locally as well as being totally safe and natural, team up and sponsor a sport empowered by the natural energy of the surf and the people who respect and love the unique ocean on this finite planet we live on."
The Australian Longboard Surfing Open will feature both men's and women's ASP LQS divisions with $20,000 total prize money as well as a Noserider Specialty event, Retro Boards, Amateur divisions, SUP surfing and racing and coaching clinics. A number of world longboard champions including current champion Taylor Jensen (USA) and 2009 champion Harley Ingleby (NSW) are expected to compete along with a number of other internationally rated competitors including Matt Aldridge, Jackson Close, Jared Neal in the men's division and 2010 women's world champion Jen Smith (USA) has indicated she will return, together with Candice Appleby (USA).
On the land there will lifestyle stalls, surf vehicle show & shine, music, movies, bikini parade and for the first time ever a seafood cooking demonstration by Channel 7 celebrity chef, Steve Snowy Snow from the award winning Fins Restaurant at Salt.
