What is TUBIES?
TRADE | UP | BUILDING | INNOVATION | EXPO | SUSTAINABILITY
TUBIES is Australia’s premier tradie surf comp and sustainability expo, bringing together tradies, industry leaders, and innovators at URBNSURF Sydney on October 25, 2025.
TUBIES began as The Trade Up Cup in 2024, a first-of-its-kind sustainable building expo and surf contest. Following its success, it has now expanded into a broader platform that blends sustainability, trade expertise, and surf culture.
The event is designed for tradies who want to level up their skills, connect with industry leaders, and build a greener future on-site and in the water.
