WHAT IS THE TASMANIAN SURF TEAMS LEAGUE?

The Tasmanian Surf Teams League (TSTL) is a fast paced 90 minute event to be featured alongside a traditional carnival or used by clubs as an Intra-Club event should they wish. 

8 teams of 8 competitors will be selected from clubs around the state. Not Club on Club but Mate on Mate! 

Short courses with as much action on the sand as in the ocean.
