Surf Sports Forum

Sun, sand and surf. It's easy to see why 85% of Australians live within 50km of the coast. And with dozens of ocean and beach activities to try, there's plenty of choice for those who enjoy spending their free time by the sea.

For kids and adults of all ages, whether you're an adrenaline junkie or prefer a more sedate approach, you're sure to find a surf sport that's right for you. From absolute beginners to professional competitors, Surf Sports Forum has everything you need to make the most of your time on the beach and in the ocean.

Surfcraft Sports

Surfcraft Sports

Modern surf craft are safe, robust and virtually maintenance-free. They'll last a lifetime if properly cared for.
There are many varieties to choose from, and the general idea is to paddle past the breakers, have fun in the open ocean or surf zone, and then catch waves to glide smoothly back to shore.

Ocean Beach Sports

Ocean and Beach Sports

Sometimes you don't want to carry surfing gear to the beach. For those who prefer the flexibility of a craft-free activity, try bodysurfing, soft sand running or ocean swimming. And for the more competitive, beach volleyball, beach flags, and run-swim-run contests will get the adrenaline pumping.
Surf Life Saving

Surf Life Saving

Surf Life Saving combines aspects of voluntary lifeguard services with competitive surf, ocean and beach sports. Originating in Australia in 1907, the movement has expanded globally to several countries including New Zealand, Great Britain and South Africa. Always swim between the flags.

Surf Safety

Surf Safety

Rip currents, dumping waves, sharks, stingers (jellyfish) and other boardriders can all pose a danger in the ocean. Learn how to stay out of trouble and keep yourself safe in the surf.

Health and Fitness

Would you like a surfer's physique? Surf sports are so much fun you'll forget you're exercising. Paddling and catching waves gives you an intense cardio, core, upper body and lower body workout.
Surfer Wearing Suit

Surfwear

Swimsuit? Boardshorts and rashie? Springsuit or steamer? The optimum surfwear depends on your activity, as well as the water temperature and weather.
Just don't wear your best suit and tie.
