Bad References

Reference 4 does not seem valid. It's an unsubstantiated, random claim in the middle of article written by a bottom-tier outlet that's 10 years old, with no other references made to it. The only reference in the article links back to this very Wikipedia page.

"Each of the custom-made surfboard awards costs $800 to make.[4]"

Also, "and in 2009, Hugh Jackman, upon winning his first one, said that he was no longer the only Australian without a surfboard" - cannot find any references to him saying that. Does someone want to post the source before I delete that as well?

Removing the sentence about $800.
