About Surf for Life
What is the goal?
In just over three years, the Surf For Life Project has
helped more than 3000 underprivileged Aussie kids
aged from 5-12 enjoy the ride of their lives through
Surfing Australia’s Weet-Bix SurfGroms program.
Surf For Life is about ‘Creating the opportunity for
underprivileged Australian Kids to Surf For Life’.
Our target is to raise $100,000 and put 2000+ kids
through the Weet-Bix SurfGroms program from funds
raised through the Surf For Life Project.
How does it work?
Surf For Life has been developed by Surfing Australia
to enable underprivileged Aussie Kids to experience
the joy of surfing for life.
Surf For Life partners with charities to help
underprivileged kids by using surfing as a vehicle
to create change and allows these kids to learn to
surf in a safe, fun and exciting environment, building
confidence and self-esteem while still having loads of
fun at the beach.
Charities can contact Surfing Australia to take part in
the Surf For Life Project if they feel that the program
will benefit the children in their care.
Once Surfing Australia confirms that the charity aligns
with the purpose of Surf For Life, a local Surfing
Australia accredited Surf School is engaged to deliver
the program.
