THE VONU Lighthouse Surf Challenge event at Suva Lighthouse is on this Saturday, May 25, which will be hosted by the Suva Reef Boardriders.

The Fiji Surfing Association event is for Open surfers, male and female, and is a qualification event for this year’s Fiji Open Team.

According to a statement by organisers, points will go towards making this year’s Fiji Open team heading to the ISA World Open Surfing titles in Japan in September.
