In a fairly subdued and brief press conference the competitors looked forward to a great competition with James McMarland, who has been wildcarded into the contest, enjoying a hometown advantage.
Champion Steph Gilmore has brought her Dad along to Newcastle, a place he did his apprenticeship, he intends to show her the town.
Sponsorship money is tighter than ever but the organisers of Surfest hope to take it from a six star rated competition to a seven star in coming years.
The weather is expected to be onside also with the low pressure system producing some good waves for the competition.
