Anytime Fitness Sponsors Largest Surfski Series In Australia
Anytime Fitness is sponsoring the Australian Ocean Racing Series (AORS), which takes place across Australia’s most popular beaches this summer.
AORS is a national series and the only one of its kind in Australia. It incorporates nine ocean racing events, and showcases all the ocean paddling disciplines including ocean skis, surf lifesaving ski’s, stand up paddle boards and outrigger canoes.
The AORS not only caters for top athletes in these disciplines, it also allows the average paddler to line up next to some of the best ocean athletes from both Australia and around the world.
Andrew Sneddon, Anytime Fitness’ media division (Anytime Vision) GM says, “The sponsorship is a natural choice for Anytime Fitness, with strong brand exposure across the best and busiest beaches and ocean trails this summer.
“The AORS sponsorship will give us prominent branding on hundreds of surf skis, paddle boards and canoe’s across Australia – essentially a wave of moving billboards. The sponsorship allows us to work with one of the fastest growing sports in Australia, which is strong on community, freedom of choice and ocean and fitness fun.”
AORS producer Dean Gardiner says, “We are incredibly pleased to be working with Anytime Fitness, which provides a complimentary fitness alternative to our thousands of athletes.”
