Hunter Sutcliffe 🏆 2026 QBC A GRADE CHAMPION 🏆
What a way to finish the year! The 2026 A Grade title came down to the very last heat of the last point-scoring contest.
Defending A Grade Champion Dylan Bird put on an excellent display of surfing to take the final win, ultimately crowning Hunter Sutcliffe our 2026 A Grade Club Champion 🏆
What a year it’s been for Hunter! Picking up a sponsor with Volcom Australia & New Zealand , putting together results both in and out of QBC, and continuing to make a name for himself. His consistency throughout the club season has been outstanding, and now he adds a QBC A Grade Title 🏆 to an already incredible year. Hunter joins the champions list as one of the youngest surfers to ever claim the title, and we couldn’t be more stoked for him.
A massive congratulations also goes to Austin Ware , who put together one of the most dominant seasons we’ve seen. Four consecutive contest wins and an incredible effort to take the title race right down to the final heat, despite competing in one fewer contest. An absolute legend of our club and a true sportsman.
Congratulations Hunter!
The club is so proud. The future is bright 👊🏻
QBC 💗 YOU
