PHILLIP Island Boardriders Club have claimed victory at Event 2 of the Australian Boardriders Battle Series, taking top honours on home turf in a day packed with energy, competition, and plenty of waves. A playful left-hand rip bowl provided the ideal bank for competitors throughout the day. Despite gusty winds, the warm conditions and lively crowd made for an electric atmosphere as nine clubs from across Victoria battled it out for a place in the Australian Boardriders Battle Grand Final Presented by NRMA Insurance. After a series of highly contested early rounds, only Torquay Boardriders Club, Jan Juc Boardriders Club, Peninsula Surfriders, and Phillip Island Boardriders Club remained as the final got underway. With the swell easing, teams were forced to be selective with their wave choices while keeping a close eye on the clock to avoid time penalties for failing to return to the box. As the final unfolded, Peninsula and Phillip Island pulled ahead thanks to some standout rides. Phillip Island’s Carl Wright went huge on a backhand snap out the back to lock in a 7.00-point ride, putting the home team in prime position. Peninsula’s Lucas Hickson kept the pressure on with a 6.33-point ride for a series of sharp backhand turns on a running left. In the closing stages, consistency and timing proved key. Wright rounded out Phillip Island’s campaign with a solid 5.80-point ride, sealing the win for the locals in front of a roaring home crowd. The celebrations continued on the sand, with Phillip Island’s Lilian Bassed taking home the Boost Mobile Wave of the Day Award for her earlier performance, while Carl Wright was named Celsius Overall Performer. The Jim Beam Team Spirit Award went to 13th Beach Boardriders, who were praised for their energy and sportsmanship throughout the day. Bassed shared her experience on the day, saying, “It was really fun today. I was a bit nervous but excited to be a part of the team and get a good wave.” Wright added, “The surf got pretty tough in the afternoon, but it's always a good day to get club surfing up and going.” Reflecting on the win, Wright continued, “We finished fourth last year in the final, so we didn't get to go to the national final, which cut us deep. Personally, I had a bit of an average performance that day, so I was fired up to fly the flag today and happy with how it went.” Club President Jake Eisen praised the team’s effort, saying, “We've been training, so that’s why it’s been so sick. We've actually put a bit of effort in this year and just gone back to basics — we haven’t overcomplicated it.” Phillip Island, Peninsula, and Jan Juc Boardriders secured their place at the Australian Boardriders Battle Grand Final Presented by NRMA Insurance, to be held at Burleigh Heads, QLD on March 7-8, 2026.

THE Phillip Island Boardriders Club (PIBC) brought their 2024/25 season to a triumphant close on Saturday, May 3, with the fifth and final Aggregate event. Held in classic Cape Woolamai conditions, Agg 5 had over 100 entrants across multiple divisions. The event highlighted the depth and passion of the local surfing scene. From the groms to the veterans, competitors put on a display that reflected not only the skill on offer but also the strong grassroots culture that defines PIBC. The event marked the end of a packed season for PIBC which also hosted longboard and Supergroms competitions throughout the year. Behind the scenes, the club’s committee and an army of volunteers were key to the success of every event — a fact President Jake Eisen proudly acknowledged. “What makes PIBC so special is the sense of community. Everyone pitches in, looks out for each other, and makes it happen” said Eisen. “It’s about more than surfing. It’s about belonging.” PIBC also extended its thanks to Phillip Island Nature Parks for their valued support in permits for all PIBC comps and the Supergroms program. PIBC look forward to working together closely in the future. Sponsors also played a pivotal role in supporting the club’s efforts this season. Local businesses provided the financial and logistical backing that allows PIBC to deliver such high-quality events for the local surfing community. The club is encouraging the public to return the favour by supporting those sponsors listed on their website: www.pibc.com.au/sponsors Looking ahead, the club has confirmed that its End of Year Presentation Night will be held on Saturday, October 11, with further details to be announced closer to the date. For those keen to stay connected with the club during the off-season, PIBC’s popular yoga program continues year-round, while members will no doubt be spotted chasing waves around the island until the next season kicks off.
