The Gold Coast is renowned worldwide for its pristine beaches and vibrant surfing culture. It is only fitting that this iconic location becomes the home of Australia's Surfing Walk of Fame at Burleigh Hill, honouring legends who have not only excelled in their sport but have also brought pride to our community.

Track records speak volumes. Surfers like Steph Gilmore, Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Mark Occhilupo (“Occy”), and Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew have all captured World Surfing Titles and are celebrated figures both locally and globally. Their successes deserve to be commemorated in a way that also celebrates our local heritage.

Currently, we have the Gold Coast World Surfing Reserve, which highlights the significance of surfing in our area. However, a permanent Walk of Fame would provide deserved recognition to achievers who have helped put the Gold Coast, and indeed Australia, on the map of world surfing destinations.

Imagine the boost to local tourism and community pride as enthusiasts from around the world visit this future landmark. The Walk of Fame will not only be an inspiration to future surfers but also serve as a testament to excellence for everyone who visits the Gold Coast.

Let's come together and ensure that these accomplished surfers are recognized in the very place that nurtured their talents. They are role models to countless young surfers and a Surfing Walk of Fame in their honor would be a fitting tribute to their dedication and achievements.
