About the ASI Honours Night

CELEBRATING THE PEOPLE, STORIES AND CONTRIBUTIONS SHAPING AUSTRALIAN SURF CULTURE. 

WHAT IS HONOURS NIGHT?

MORE THAN AN INDUSTRY EVENT

ASI Honours Night was created to celebrate the people behind the Australian surf industry: the innovators, leaders, athletes, community builders and organisations helping shape the culture and future of surfing in Australia.

Unlike a traditional awards program, Honours Night is designed as an evening of industry recognition, storytelling and connection.

The event provides an opportunity for the surf community to come together, reflect on the year, recognise meaningful contributions, and celebrate the people and organisations making a positive impact across the industry.

Over the years, the evening has featured:

  • Industry recognition presentations

  • Surf culture storytelling

  • Charity fundraising initiatives

  • Live music and entertainment

  • Community and industry networking

  • Guest speakers and honourees
