Koby Abberton is the latest surfer to feature on a major reality TV show. The 42-year-old Bra Boy is going for SAS selection Australia where 18 C-list celebrities are pushed to their limits as they eat, sleep and train together through a series of physical and psychological tests from the real SAS selection process.

The course takes place across 14 days at Capertee Valley NSW, during the 2021 mouse plague.

Challenges include a Chopper Ladder Crossing, Worm Hole, Submerged Vehicle Escape, Forward Abseil, Hostage Rescue, Fall & Break and Tactical Driving.

There are only 3 ways to leave the course:
1. VW: Recruits can voluntarily withdraw (VW) from the course at any time by handing their numbered armband over to one of the DS.
2. Being removed from the course by staff.
3. Finish the course.

Winner gets nothing.

Can anyone beat a confident, good-looking, and strong Kobes?

Watch #SASAustralia tonight at 7:30pm on Channel 7 to find out.

Schapelle’s backing it.
