Rumble on the Reef is set to deliver a record-breaking event for its 7th annual competition this weekend, cementing its place as one of the most significant skateboarding events in Australia.
The competition commences today, (Friday, 20th September), with the Sugarbowl Arena reserved for qualifying rounds across multiple divisions, including 9 and under, 12 and under, 16 and under, and men’s and women’s pro categories. These skaters will battle for spots in the championship finals, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown on Saturday.
Saturday, 21st September, is the biggest day of skateboarding, with campaigning focused on breaking national attendance records for a domestic competition. The day includes The Pasifika Cup, Social Division, Junior Championships, Men’s and Women’s Pro National Championships as part of the competition. In addition to the fierce competition, the arena will be buzzing with food trucks, live bands and a fully licensed area.
Adding to the excitement, Olympian Haylie Powell will be present, offering coaching sessions and skateboarding demonstrations, inspiring the next generation of athletes.
Donny Fraser, Head of Development for Rumble On The Reef, emphasises the event's significant economic impact on regional towns like Mackay.
“We really aim to be able to support regional towns,” Mr Fraser said.
“Most of our skateboarders aren’t from big towns or cities, so it’s really important for us to provide this opportunity to a place like Mackay.
“We want to put Mackay on the map and we want to break that record and have the biggest skateboard attendance in Australia for a domestic event.”
Rumble on the Reef has transformed the region into a mecca for skateboarding, with its combination of grassroots support, world-class competition and community engagement.
