The Silver Surfers

Embracing Aging, One Wave at a Time

Love the beach? Always wanted to boogieboard? Or just want to feel more confident in the ocean? You've found your tribe.

Silver Surfers is a free bodyboarding and water safety clinic for older Aussies, led by pro surf coaches in a safe, supportive environment.

No experience needed. Just bring some curiosity, a bit of courage, and your favourite pair of boardies or swimmers.

It’s never too late to try something new. Whether it’s your first time catching a wave, or a chance to rekindle an old love of the sea, you’ll walk away feeling more confident, connected, and stoked.

Connect to the ocean & community

If you're an older adventurer, come and get a taste of the good life by learning:

• Bodyboarding basics

• Ocean awareness and safety skills

• How to read waves and understand conditions

• Tips to stay strong, safe, and surf ready as you age

But most of all, you’ll experience the pure joy of the surf in good company.
