Hyundai She’s Electric competition is back with $10K on the line!

Hyundai She’s Electric is returning for a fourth season, offering female surfers across Australia, aged 14 and over, the opportunity to showcase their talent in this exciting online competition. Surfing Australia and Hyundai are proud to continue their mission to recognise and amplify grassroots female athletes on a national scale, this year allowing females between 14-16 years old to join as well. By uploading a video of your best wave, you could win a share of $33,200 worth of prizes.

Simply record yourself surfing your best wave and submit it for the chance to win weekly prizes and join Hyundai Team Electric. These athletes will gain access to expert coaching and national exposure. The top scorer will walk away with $10,000 in cash.

Female surfers are invited to submit their best wave clips to be judged by Surfing Australia’s panel of female experts. The competition runs until October 17, with the Top 5 finalists to be announced as Hyundai Team Electric. These athletes will receive invaluable support and exposure, including professional coaching and media opportunities, helping them advance to the top levels of the sport.

Hyundai Team Electric: Training, prizes, and national spotlight

At the end of Season 4, the Top 5 athletes will join Hyundai Team Electric and attend a three-day intensive surf camp at the Hyundai Surfing Australia High Performance Centre (HPC) . The camp will include surf analysis form some of Australia’s top surf coaches, surf-specific workshops, and workshops led by surfing icons and pioneers of women’s surfing.

Team Electric will then compete in a knockout surf-off, with the overall winner taking home $10,000 cash. Athletes placing 2nd–5th will each receive $1000 in prize money.

Season 4 also marks the return of the Hyundai Bright Spark award, given weekly to a surfer who demonstrates enthusiasm, courage, and commitment, no matter how long or short their ride lasts. The award aims to encourage surfers of all abilities to enjoy the process, commit to wipeouts, and have fun along the way. Each Hyundai Bright Spark winner will receive an MF x Laura Enever Collection Palm Springs surfboard, valued at over $700.

Paving the way for future female surfing talent

Hyundai She’s Electric is designed to elevate and inspire the next generation of female surfers, providing them with the tools, exposure, and support to reach their full potential. The program celebrates the diversity and skill of women’s surfing across Australia, offering athletes the opportunity to connect with some of the country’s best coaches and surfing icons.

Last year’s winner of Hyundai She’s Electric, India Robinson, said: “I love seeing more opportunities for females, especially in the surfing space. My biggest passion outside of surfing is inspiring and empowering the next generation of females, so I love everything about this. Although not everyone can win, everyone can participate, and that is so important. Building a space for more girls to feel welcome in the surfing community. I’m looking forward to seeing some of the up and coming talent, hopefully, we can all have a good time and showcase some really good surfing.”

Surfing Australia Manager of Boardrider Clubs and Judging, Glen Elliott, said: “This initiative has been instrumental in showcasing the extraordinary talent we have in women’s surfing. The online format, introduced last year, provides more surfers, regardless of their location, the opportunity to participate and be discovered. The standard of entries continues to rise each year, and we’re incredibly excited to see what Season 3 brings.”
