Welcome to Surfing Illawarra

Surfing Illawarra is an affiliated body of Surfing Australia who were established in 1963 and are the national governing body for surfing across Australia.

In recent years Surfing Illawarra hasn't generated the same level of community participation  that is now enjoyed by the worldwide surfing community. Our focus is to put the Illawarra back on the global map for surfing, working closely with the community, local board riding clubs and our sponsors. Our ultimate goal is to produce a “Mike Lowe” onto the World Tour (WCT). As we work toward this goal, we will established long term programs to seek out and develop our junior surfing talent.

A fresh new management team led by Paul Oyston and the local board riding clubs are working together to develop surfing in our region.

Support our Surfing Community by coming to an event and support our sponsors.
