In a massive logistical feat, surfers from across the world are heading to Australia to face a two-week COVID-19 lockdown ahead of the world surfing tour, which is due to start on April 1.
Key points:
108 surfers, support staff and World Surf League officials will go into a 14-day lockdown
The number of spectators at the Newcastle event will be capped at 3,000
