Established:
Established in 1963 (second only to “Wind N Sea” also in Qld) the club a non-profit organisation was around for quite a few years until it disbanded in 1976. Due to renewed interest and the ever growing popularity in surfing the club reformed in 2001. There are a lot of committed people in the club who work tirelessly for the benefit of promoting surfing at Bundaberg’s beautiful beaches and supporting the talented surfers coming out of this region. The club is known to be one of the best organised boardriding clubs on the eastern seaboard of Australia. Member’s ages range from 9 years to late 50s.

Pacifique Surfriders currently has a membership of over 100 people and with the hard work of club members, fundraising and sponsors Pacifique Surfriders now have a mobile trailer set-up with tents, chairs, tables, BBQ, PA and sound system which enables a competition virtually anywhere there are waves.

The last couple of years the clubs influence and support has seen male and female members surf in and win divisions of the Australian Surfboard Titles, which are surfed around the country.

Another great time to be had is presentation night, where trophies and prizes are presented to the yearly winners of the various divisions. Comp days begin at 6.30am in winter and 6am in summer, or when there is no surf we may organise a game of footy on the beach or do board races in the water or simply have a good old chat and a feed from the BBQ and catch up with everyone while sipping coffee or a cold drink.

In the future the Pacifique Surfriders Club are looking at community projects to work on along the coastline to make our area more appealing and user friendly for all.

Membership per year is $15.00 per person or $25.00 per family plus $20.00 per competing member to cover insurance in the 10+ divisions surfed.

Meeting Details:
Pacifique Surfriders meet monthly for a competition and all are welcomed to surf in the comp if they are financial members. Competitions are mostly held at Neilsen Park Beach at Bargara or along the coastline if the surf is better in that area. Travel to Yepoon in the north through Agnes Water to Rainbow Beach down south has been undertaken, joining in the competition, fun and fellowship of enjoying the surf, sand and sun with the clubs there.
