UNI STUDENTS TO TEST WAVE SKILLS

"Local surfers will be i the minority at an international university surfing competition on the Gold Coast-Tweed border next month.

Organizers of the International Student Surf Challenge expect more than 100 competitors fot the two-day surf-off at Duranbah.

The challenge started three years ago to provide`"another language"to the 300.000 international students studying at Australian universities every year and this year has more than $10,000 worth in prizes on offer.

The inaugural event proved so popular as a male-only competition, it attracted the attention of the Australian and female international students.

Organizers were happy to bow to their requests to be part of it.

It was a timely move which brought instant rewards with mojor sponsorship from the Queensland College of English at Surfers Paradise and recognition from Surfing Australia at Casuarina on the Tweed Coast, which touted it a "real breeding ground"for future champions.

The third Challenge at Duranbah Beach on December 15 and 16 will be dominated again by Brazilian surfers studying English on the Gold Coast and at the Tweed Heads campus of the Southern Cross University.

Japanese surfers are tipped to be the next biggest force and organisers are hoping Australia will be the third dominating country.

"We expect it to get a lot bigger after this year"said Alain Ruthenberg, whose Gold Coast based Australia GO company directs international students to universities all over Australia.

"The event was started to give back to international students what they bring to Australia."

"In a way surfing is an interantional language and is a means of using the sport to educate overseas students."

Dane Jordan of Surfing Australia said the group was invited to be part of the series three years ago, but had decided to "sit back and see how it developed".

"What we've seen since is impressive,"he said.

"We 're here to develop all varieties of surf competitions, especially if they are a stepping stone to professional and real-world experiences."

He said the challenge was "quick to put its foot in the door"after 17 years old Brazilian Alex Chacon won the inaugural event and went on to take up a pro-junior career.
