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
