The Surfing Australia Boardriders club system
Surfing Australia in conjunction with our State Associations recognise club surfing as the grassroots of Australian surfing. Our purpose is to support our Boardriders Clubs to enable them to lead and develop their members, strengthening the foundation of the surfing pathway. Club competitions teach the skills required to pursue a competitive career and introduce surfers to the benefits of the support and friendship offered by club environment.
The Surfing Australia Boardriders club system is supported by SportAUS and is recognised as the most advanced in the surfing world and is a vital link in the sport development pathway. We are committed to working with the states and the clubs to ensure that the sport of surfing continues to go from strength to strength and maintains its status as a truly iconic Australian pastime.
