Surf's up!

See islanders putting their newly acquired surfing skills to the test to raise money for local charity Healing Waves, enjoy live music, family entertainment, and try your change in a raffle. There will also be a beach wrestling competition organised by Spud Grappling and Brazilian Power Team.

Explore the tunnels, bridges and stations, and say hi to cute Koi fish. Children can also partake in a scavenger hunt, with a sweet treat for a prize once they are done. All proceeds going to charity.
