TORQUAY BOARDRIDERS HISTORY
PROFILE: Formed in 1978 to ensure that Torquay was represented as the premiere surfing centre of the state in all surfing events. The Torquay Boardriders has evolved over recent years into a family based Club with participation by first and second generation surfers promoted, coaching and training programs conducted to ensure juniors are supported in their surfing development and well managed events are a priority.
Successful competition results in individual and team events fly the flag for the club, but a lot of work is spent on nurturing the Clubs junior talent, getting involved with local government beach use issues, community involvement such as promoting surfing law actively and such programs as sunsmart. Since 1993 it has been a member of the Bells Beach management Committee.
