COOLTOP AT THE 2023 YEPPOON PICKLEBALL FESTIVAL

The 2023 Yeppoon Pickleball Festival was hosted at the complex between the 14th and the 23rd of July, welcoming over 100 players from across Australia and NZ for 10 days of fun, competitions, coaching and tournament play.

Despite being played in July, Yeppoon still frequently has temperatures above 30ºC (86ºF).  Prior to the tournament, CoolTop was installed on their feature acrylic courts to reduce the surface temperature (via solar reflectance), with the goal of assisting in overall player comfort.

 

THE PROJECT:

The 6 feature courts to the right of the marquees were surfaced with CoolTop in Nordic and Ice Blue colors.

The 8 courts to the left were surfaced with standard Sea Blue acrylic surrounds and CoolTop Nordic Blue centres.

The court surface temperatures shown below were recorded on Friday 21st of July, at 1.30pm – with the ambient temperature of 30ºC (86ºF):

Standard Sea Blue: 52ºC (125.6ºF); 

CoolTop Nordic Blue: 38.1ºC (100.6ºF);

CoolTop Ice Blue: 34.4ºC (93.9ºF).

 

“Having played pickleball outdoors on many surfaces and now experiencing playing on a surface that has reflective pigments, i feel the change, it takes the heat off me so i can put it into my play.”

– Kel Rasmussen, Former Director – Pickeball Association Australia
