ATTENTION GROMMETS.
Welcome to the 2023 BL BLAST OFF VIDEO CHALLENGE PRESENTED BY BARTON LYNCH PRO SURFING, THE VIDEO GAME.
You don’t have to be a great surfer to enter your video, the Blast Off is for surfers of any ability and is primarily a 4 week coaching program that includes a championship component where winners are decided in several categories and age divisions.
The concept is to spend the 4 weeks together as a community learning from the coaching advice on your and others videos and focussing on improving your surfing and getting stoked.
Every video submitted is provided coaching advice and encouragement from our panel of expert coaches.
We will accept video footage that was shot anytime in 2023.
Submissions are open from October 16th through to November 17th 2023 and for KIDS 14 YEARS and UNDER (as of the 17th of November 2023) and from anywhere in the world.
Videos can be a single wave, a single manoeuvre or edited clips with sound or not. Clips to be a maximum of one minute in length.
Submit your clip now to be in the running for epic weekly prizes for the ‘Most Entertaining Clips’ and ‘Kids Who Bring The STOKE’.
GoPro are back with us for 2024, offering prizes in two categories; Best GoPro Point of View and Overall Best Edit!
And we are very excited to again include the “Clean Up” category thanks to our sustainability partner at A New Earth Project where kids show us the great work they have done in their community by helping others or the environment.

- Peoples Choice

Sponsors
At “Blast Off” we are all about respect for our planet, and so the opportunity to connect with A New Earth Project and welcome them onboard as our Official Sustainability Partner to help guide us into our future is powerful.
A New Earth Project is a global coalition of brands, packaging suppliers and consumers all dedicated to the mission of ridding our world’s oceans, lakes, and rivers of plastic pollution.
Together we want to introduce to you our latest category to be included and awarded at the 2023 BL BLAST OFF VIDEO CHALLENGE PRESENTED BY BARTON LYNCH PRO SURFING, THE VIDEO GAME
The “Clean Up” allows you to send us (free of charge) videos of you doing good in your community. From beach clean-ups to mowing the lawn for the senior citizen upon the street to helping to fix the stairs at your favorite surf spot, videos of you and your mates doing good things are what we want to see.
These clips will be reviewed by the New Earth team, and the best one will receive the “New Earth” medal and a grant of $500 to keep doing your thing.
So get some friends together, or do it with your family or even alone but together we can make an even greater impact out of the event and this is something we are all very stoked about.
