Big Oil Defeated World Heritage Next
There’s an opportunity right now to make the Nullabor and Great Australian Bight a UNESCO World Heritage Area, but it isn’t going to happen without the Australian surfing community rising to the occasion one last time.
It is the Final Fight for the Bight to get this majestic and richly biodiverse area of Australia locked in with World Heritage status.
This isn’t just another campaign, it’s the final round in a fight to keep the Bight wild and free from big oil, forever.

Wild Waves Forever
Too far to enjoy. Too good to destroy.
Hard to believe, but there's still waves around Australia that most surfers will never see, let alone ride. Scott Reef, hundreds of kilometres off the WA coast, is one of them. And right now, Woodside wants to turn it into an industrial gas field.
The Gift that gives back
With record high temps across the country, you need sunscreen more than ever, so why not spend $99 on a Thriving Ocean membership and get a $99 SunButter voucher?
Swimmers wear out. Boards get dinged. But a Surfers for Climate membership? That’s the gift that keeps on giving, to you, your mates and family, and to the oceans.

What started as an annual gathering on coastal Country, grew into something none of us predicted. Women went home different. They started clubs, built advocacy skills, brought First Nations cultural protocols into their communities, and became leaders. So we built the infrastructure to match.
