The 2016 IBF showcased the iconic Australian lifestyle where sand meets sea, creating what was the biggest beach festival ever seen in Sydney. Including the world’s largest women’s only surf contest and Ironwoman Invitational, the IBF fused world-class spectator experiences with mass participation events by featuring a community favourite, the Shire Mile Run and Shire Ocean Swim.

Whilst its super disappointing IBF was unable to take place in Cronulla this years, it is great to see the final Women's QS6000 event staying in Australia. Its going to be another exciting weekend as the ladies battle it out to determine who earns the right to those sacred CT spots for 2018. #womenssurfing World Surf League Surfing NSW
