Hurley Surfing Australia High Performance Centre Launch

open on the Tweed coast, ABC reports.

The High Performance Centre at Casuarina Beach features a gymnasium, auditorium, accommodation and a quiver of boards from the world's best shapers.

According to ABC, Surfing Australia CEO Andrew Stark says the centre is designed to maintain the nation's dominance in the sport internationally.

"It is really the equivalent of the AIS and the AIS was certainly built many years ago to achieve gold medals in the Olympics," he said.

"This centre is about it being pro-active in terms of building a facility that can give us a really strong competitive advantage on the world stage.
