INTRODUCING SHE’S ELECTRIC
What is it:
Hyundai and Surfing Australia have joined forces to create the very first grassroots national women’s leaderboard. Leveraging LiveHeats™ data from Australian Boardriders Battles,
She’s Electric recognises and amplify female grassroots athletes on a national scale. This leaderboard aims to give female boardriders a profile, unearthing breakout talent and creating a pathway to the top – inspiring the next generation of surfers.
How does it work:
Female Boardriders will surf in the normal ABB format with their represented Boardriders clubs as per the outlined event draw. Each surfer will be given a profile within LiveHeats™ to begin tracking individual performance and provide a platform for visibility within the system.
Boardrider wave scores are separated out of the ABB draw to calculate their average counting ride score (0-10.00). Averages will then be placed into a fully automated system allowing the She’s Electric leaderboard to track and update the scores and rankings as the state rounds progress.
How to get involved:
To get involved, you will need to be part of an Australian Boardriders Club competing at the Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle. If you are not yet in a club and keen to join one, find out who your nearest Boardrider club is and get involved today!
Make Hyundai’s Team Electric Sponsored Team:
At the end of the 2022/23 Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle series, the top five athletes on the ‘She’s Electric’ Leaderboard are named Hyundai’s Team Electric, a Hyundai-sponsored team given the support and exposure to make it to the top.
This includes a three-day intensive training at the Hyundai Surfing Australia High Performance Centre (HPC) and $5,000 cash for the overall winner to go toward their surfing journey. The camp will include surf analysis from some of Australia’s top surf coaches, surf-specific strength & conditioning sessions, media training, and workshops by surfing icons, and pioneers of women’s surfing including big wave surfer & Hyundai ambassador Laura Enever.
