We’re excited to welcome Mud Men Gemstones as a creative partner of the 2026 BrightSky Australian Pro Adaptive Surfing Championships.
Mud Men Gemstones will be crafting the event trophies using natural gemstones, ensuring each award is as unique as the athletes who receive them. Known for their handcrafted gemstone creations, Mud Men Gemstones celebrates the natural beauty, individuality and energy found within every stone.
For this year’s Adaptive Surf Pro, the trophies will represent far more than competition results. Each piece will symbolise strength, resilience and transformation — qualities that perfectly reflect the journey of adaptive surfers competing in the event.
Last year, athletes were presented with beautiful gemstones that captured the spirit of the championships, such as the piece featured in the photo here. This year’s trophies will continue that tradition, incorporating natural gemstones to create meaningful awards that honour the achievements of the competitors.
Just as every wave is different, every gemstone carries its own character and story. By incorporating natural stones into the trophies, Mud Men Gemstones is helping create awards that reflect the spirit of the championships and the incredible determination of the athletes.
We’re incredibly grateful to Mud Men Gemstones for contributing their creativity and craftsmanship to the event and helping make the 2026 trophies truly special.
