The Ulladulla Boardriders are one of five seriously strong wildcard entrants invited to take part in the Nudie Australian Boardriders Battle National Final in Newcastle from February 15 to 16.

Ulladulla will be strong and can call upon the likes of promising groms Koby Jackson and Keira Buckpitt.

They will compete against the likes of the Culburra Boardriders for this national title.

Culburra got its qualification for the final some weeks ago.

The other wildcard entrants are Merewether, North Shelley, Avoca and Byron BRC.

Now in its seventh season, the Nudie Australian Boardriders Battle is the country's biggest grassroots boardriders event, involving more than 60 of Australia's best boardrider clubs and $110,000 in prize money.

Some of the world's best current, former and up-and-coming World Surf League (WSL) stars will don the comp singlet to help their club in the quest for national glory.

Names like Wade Carmichael, Adrian Buchan, Matt Wilkinson, Soli Bailey, Danny Wills, Kieran Perrow, Nikki Van Dijk, Macy Callaghan, Molly Picklum, Ethan Ewing, Connor O'Leary, Bede Durbidge and Kalani Ball, just to name a few, have taken part.

Adding to the high stakes at the State qualifying events will be two speciality awards.

The Oakley Prizm Performer will be awarded to the standout surfer, while the AirAsia Big Air will be presented to the surfer who does the biggest and best aerial manoeuvre at each event.
