We promote and support juniors through participation and dedicated coaching and training programs to help them develop. We also prioritise nurturing club junior talent alongside competition.

What community and event involvement does the club have?

We have been a member of the Bells Beach Management Committee since 1993, and we get involved with local government beach use issues and community programs such as Sunsmart. We also actively promote surfing law and help ensure potential event beaches are well catered for.

Torquay Boardriders Club | Surfing in Torquay

Welcome to Torquay Boardriders Club! Established in 1978, our club was formed with the goal of representing Torquay as the premier surfing centre in the state through participation in various surfing events.

Over the years, the focus of Torquay Boardriders Club has shifted, and we have become a family-based club that promotes the participation of both first and second generation surfers. We value the development of our junior surfers and offer coaching and training programmes to support their growth in the sport. Additionally, we prioritise well-managed events and actively participate in local government beach use issues and community initiatives such as promoting surfing laws and Sunsmart programmes.

While our successful competition results in individual and team events showcase our club's talent, we also devote a significant amount of effort to nurturing our junior members and engaging with the community. Since 1993, we have been proud members of the Bells Beach Management Committee.

Currently, we boast over 130 Torquay Boardriders Club members, and we are a club that is 39 years old. Although we have no potential event beaches at the moment, we are always eager to explore new opportunities.
