Gold Coast : Beach-Volleyball/Marathon Swim/Triathlon/Weightlifting-Judo-Wrestling/Football
Parra boccia/Rugby

Is that it...No Qld 2032 Surfing...well not quite...tbb will share 3 possible reported options...

*IOC Program Commissioner Sally Fitzgibbons has twice Backed Brisbane 2032 (2019/2023)
Despite SLSA bid...Sally may follow her heart as she already has locked in Brisbane... Correct!

*ISA / ILS + SLSA have run Olympic Medal Surfboard riding Comps before & still do. (re: above)
So the standard would be high & still offer WSL Pros to join a Club as Resident Pro...Got it!
Ya could still have yer same Pros but they'd be seeded by ISA via ILS / SLSA rather than WSG/WSL.
https://www.soulsurf.com.au/product/1956-surf-life-saving-olympic-medal/

tbb reckons the next best > one last chance is to Surf the $Half Billion Fox / Magnate's Wavepool
This is actually in the News this week! Just got lucky!

*Redlands Whitewater can provide a shit hot 100m wild ride with 15,000 full view screaming fans!
Two for One combo Whitewater/Switch 40 km/hr 3-4m drop Rapid Wavepool Course.

Up until now...tbb was alone in this thought...Local Ethan as resident Luggage Point Whitewater Pro!
All know Brizzo's need a Wavepool & IOC Fox Family + Oz micro Cozzie Magnate command $Gazillions

Can get GOAT on board for Vert Drop > juice up Barrel > Air Ramps > Cutties > reforms ... wild ride!
Remove the sluice gates / Surf Kit & yer back to SUP / Kayak course after a lunch break...sorted!
Brizzo Wavepool would lock in 5 Oz medals + 15,000 x $200 screaming crowd each day of Olympics!
Each spectator has full course view unlike highly restricted VIP 200 crew Wavepools / Teahupoos

Gina : "You Guyz'n'Dolls just slip into yer slick G bangers & sluggos & I'll pick up the tab....'Say Wot!'
Not givin' it away without a show.. get yer daggy dax off...slip these on...(That's a Pack of Band Aids!)
Hey Kook! That's not how ya wear yer Leggie...It is now Mate!
https://redlandcityminute.substack.com/p/making-waves-for-birkdale-in-br...

Recapping No official WSL/ISA/WSG seeded 2032 Comp but ISA/ILS/SLSA seeded 2032 comp
Same WSL pros would join Local Surf Club to seed in exactly the same format Surf comp!
Just shifting the Goal Posts so to speak! WSL Pro would need to do Bronze or Patrol in off season.
Each Gold Medalist earns more prestige as a Pro/Lifesaver! Sally would sign off on that!

Either that or Gina's Pool Toy Boy...WSL pros Voted on Gina's Wave Pool option...All say Aye! FFS!

2032 Paralymics Surfing bid...(Recent News)

[Disclaimer] + [ Factcheck ]
This forum was born as Qldurrz Goldie Olympic Surfing Guide that now expands to Paralympics.
In so doing involves deeper tbb commitment to bring clarity into progressive 2032 Surfing Bids.
Everyone wants to have a crack at Surfing in 2032 but as of Now...Zero 2032 Elites Exist.

Qldurr tbb is a free spirited disabled sportsmanlike non assist surfing exhibitionist" at Surfing Festivals.
Right now disability prevents tbb from surfing + ever banned from wavepools/comps//venues.

Very few non assist able/disabled "Bodybashers" exist or even permitted in any Surf competition/venue.
[ISA] Governed /Schools/Surf Comps strictly prohibit free surfing of waves without surfing aids.
Even Bodysurfing comps bias towards competitors with up to 3x artificial Surfing assist Aids.

tbb does not know of any sportsmanlike surfing Comps for able/disabled without surfing assist aids.
This sadly includes prohibiting non assist Disabled Surfers from Surfing Aid assisted Comps inclusion!
Meaning disabled Surfers are banned from surfing unassisted in Parasurfing Comps!
Failing to Cheat is Branded as Cheating in all Surfing Comps...well durr! All know that tbb ... Ok Then!

[Disclaimer] tbb & ALL have only ever participated or viewed endless 100% Surfing aid assist Comps!
tbb & ALL only ever know one sport of disabled assist aid Surfing Comps of varying assisted criteria!
Why ask all surfers to strap to a shield to fend of Waves to prevent & penalize surf athleticism...Huh!

Never once seen a 100% able bodied non assist surf comp despite attending many bodysurfing comps!
If any crew have ever once read or seen the like...please do share...super stoked if any can share that!
Apart from bodysurfers racing ashore as a part of Ocean Swim Racing Events.

Able Athletic sportmanlike bodysurfers are prohibited from surfing lineups without Surfing aids!
Even Ocean Racers/ Clubbies mandate softer full tides & Shark Shield bracelets

2022 IOC permitted 25% Able Male Artistic Swimmers but denied by ALL National Olympic Bodies!
World Aquatic Athlete ban extends to highest calibre Male Athletes in Global Pools/Wavepools/Surf.
Olympic sized VIP pool toy parties ban #1 Freespirited highly evolved Aquatic Athletes ...Keep out!

Disabled are afforded greater Olympic inclusion than freespirited highest skilled Aquatic Athletes
Disabled assist surfers are afforded greater Line Up access than freespirited highest affinity surfers.

tbb has no shortage of Athlete / Surf Boardriding Awards but never known of any true surfing award?
Not surprising as we Bodysurfers shun divisive competition & promote 100% inclusive crew surfing!
Read above...Festival organizers banned our Surfing exhibitions in favour of Jock Whomp Comps...
tbb informed we were a hearty crew not Jocks > we pulled out & crew boycotted following festivals!

Ok! Needed to clarify that Disabled sportsmanlike Surfers are banned from Disabled Comps/Venues!
Due to Inclusion Criteria being strictly & bizarrely determined by levels of Costed rorted assist Category.
Disabled free Surfers have no category and are not permitted to Surf Comp zones without assist aids!
To put it bluntly > It's illegal for disabled to surf a Wave without an aid or assist! Feel free to Check!
Yes! Check any / all above > Bully Surfing Bodies unite to Ban Surfing anywhere & everywhere!

Disabled tbb has never known or met similar discrimination other than Govt partnered Surfing Bodies!

ISA Prez :
"Parasurfing shows that no matter what a person's physical ability, the ocean belongs to all surfers!"

Apart from us Surfers simply wishing to freely surf alongside sea creatures! That's now a crime! Shh!

IOC/ISA/WSL/WSR/Wavepools highly restrict & Prohibit non assist dis-abled free surfing.
tbb again openly motions for equality and inclusion of free spirited sportsmanlike Surfjustsurfers.
Freespirit non assist dis-abled sea serpents simply wish to reunite with our Majestic seacreatures!

ISA Dictator [SOLD OUT] [ No Pay = No Play ] Official ISA Surf Sticker!
tbb credits the crew for outing this scam...Humble Surf Leash = Mandatory Merch Fee to every LineUp!
Every surfer must Self License to buy Surf Merch or be booted from all World Lineups!
This extends as far as Ice Cream Lidz & Puffer...No Leash - No Bash! Yes! Comps'n'all!

ALL now Anti Surfing Robots...Everyone Strap to yer Merbau decking boards & hold onto the rail.
Ready! Now tip a bucket of Water over yer head and wind them up to all yell Yew! Claim?
No wave of Emotion...shielding out endless lightyears of Intergalactic Universal Oceanic interplay!

Any following reviews of Paralympic Surfing will be reported in truthful Surfing context...
It may not read that way to assisted surfers...but tbb only obliges local lived upfront insight!
No 100's'n'1,000s Rainbow Unicorn Pool Donuts...ya get Goldie Punk tbb speak as Huey serves it up!
Equally surprised who is branded Olympians + empathetic to all that miss out for more valid reason.

2032 Brisbane Paralympic Surfing Bid

( Possibly the first Official Para/surfing Bid )
4 April 2024 Clarence Valley Council motioned to bid > 2032 Olympic / Paralympic Surfing Base.
So why such an ambitious pre bid to Host Surfing / Parasurfing + other sports!
Council recalled that 2000 Olympic Rowing teams were based in Grafton / Meclean
tbb can also share that (NSW) Sydney / Melbourne are hosting 2032 Olympic Football events!
https://clarencevalleynews.com.au/clarence-bid-for-2032-olympic-base/

May 2024 : Sunny Council + Pollies are angling Paralympics to upgrade Beach clubs transit access.

13 June 2024 "LA local Newspaper The Orange County Register" (Olympics)
https://www.ocregister.com/2024/06/13/adaptive-surfers-will-again-compet...
ISA Prez : " We are of course, disappointed in this News. but as Surfers, when we miss a wave, we turn and paddle just as hard for (The Next One)...read on...

...And we will do the same now with (Hope of seeing Parasurfing included in Brisbane in 2032)"

Being clear as tbb can on this ...ISA 'support' 2032 Surfing/Parasurfing... (No official bid for either! Ok!)

Feb 2022 (Above!) ISA Prez : "Potential Surfing @ Bne Games"
April 2024 (Above) ISA (Partners) ISL + SLSA : To Launch Official 2032 Olympic Bid
13 June 2024 ISA Prez : "Hope of Parasurfing @ 2032 Olympics!"

All on the same Page that ISA are partnering a Surf Lifesaving bid but No Surfing Bid as yet...Ok!

13 June 2024 (Also) Same US Paralympic Bid rejection.
5x Paralympic World Surfing Champion Victoria Feige :
"Fresh sense of determination to get Parasurfing included in 2028 / 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games!
Cost is a real Factor! How to Showcase our Value in terms of Viewership to justify higher cost!
* Wavepool / Sponsorship could reduce Logistics / Cost
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/advocates-para-surfing-part-para...
Equally important as Paralympic Champ is now aligned with several Oz Surfing Champs & Wavepools
This records first alignment by Multi winning Champs of both camps...Pool will attract Olympic Viewers!
Layne / Steff / Occy / Kelly + Now Victoria all very much on board with Oz Wave Pool Olympics!

Pause :
Breaking News (Today!) More Aussie Champs Mono + Menczer back LA 28 bid also...ISA Olympic call!
Mono : "Having the event on the Beach is expensive...lots of overheads.
2028 Bid / Trestles break Hassles with Accessibility/Timing/ Re-pitching Beach Tents/ Road access.
Kelly did suggest Paralympics in a Wave Pool...(Reads as Genuine!)
In defence UK WGs have held several Parasurf events in Pools & Mono has also ticked the boxes!
Just noting this report ...Aussies are backing up LA 28 bid...no direct 2032 Bid as yet!

15 Aug 2024: Multi World Champ Blind Parasurfer / Paralympic Cyclist motions for 2032 Parasurfing
Matt Formston : Other Worldly Nazare Big wave Claim > Flips Surfing Sensation on it's head.
"I felt more sensation of Wave from back of ski than at any time Surfing the Wave! (Astounding Claim!)
" So focused on Whistle Prompts that Matt doesn't feel wave bottom, turning or kick out!
Says it's easier to surf than a trip to Woolies!"

Matt is backing Kelly / ISA to include parasurfing in 2032 Brisbane (Any /All) Olympics
Says cost / complexity is no different to other sports > they need to look at whether it's inclusive!
Matt would love to win a Paralympic Oz Gold Medal with his son as spotter at Snapper!
