Why partner with surfing?

Surfing is not just a sport, it’s one of the most desirable lifestyles in the world. With 85% of Australians living less than 50km from the coast it’s accessible to most people, and once learnt it’s a skill for life. There is momentum behind the sport in Australia from grass-roots community and participation, through the surfing events pathway, to our world-class elite athletes.  Surfing’s inclusion at the Tokyo Olympics is testament to the groundswell of support of the sport globally.

For a brand, aligning with surfing in Australia means supporting a sport that is culturally relevant, inclusive and accessible; with universal appeal across all demographics including men, women, kids and families. Surfing indexes highly on female participation and is the most family-orientated sport in Australia. Surfing fans are more likely to over-index as healthy, active, image-conscious, social, environmentally responsible, and progressive. According to a Gemba Report in 2019, Surfing’s perceptions are of a fun-loving and aspirational sport including ‘youthful’, ‘cool’, ‘exciting’ and ‘fun’ attributes. It’s also the 2^nd most trusted sport in Australia, making it a safe environment for your brand.
