Surfing Australia.

Formed in 1963, Surfing Australia is a national sporting organisation, which aims to guide and promote the development of surfing in Australia.

Surfing Australia work closely with 6 state branches, 235 Boardrider Clubs, 114 surf schools, local councils and schools to deliver grass-roots participation, community and events.

Hyundai Australia is honoured to support a sport which represents such an important part of Australia’s coastal culture and lifestyle.

The Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle is Australia’s biggest grassroots boardriders event and involves more than 70 of Australia’s best boardrider clubs! Taking place across eight state qualifying rounds, only 24 clubs will come together at the national final to battle it out to become the 2023/24 Australian champions.

Hyundai truly appreciates that boardrider clubs are the lifeblood of Australian surfing. For many young boardriders, this series is the first taste of competitive surfing and the beginning of what for some is a lifelong journey. Hyundai looks forward to supporting Australia’s next generation of surfers along this journey.

Bring on an epic 2024 Hyundai Australian Boardriders Battle - March 9 + 10 at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast!

At Hyundai we believe in progress for humanity. We’re proud to partner with Surfing Australia to give grassroots female athletes a pathway to the top. She’s Electric is the first all-women’s leaderboard to unearth breakout talent around the country.

In it’s second season, female surfers from around the country will submit videos of their best waves with the top five surfers making Hyundai’s Team Electric. This team will be invited to a 3-day training camp at Surfing Australia’s Hyundai High Performance Centre, national exposure and a cash prize to help support their ongoing surfing endeavors.

From anonymity to ultimate visibility, this long-term platform gives women the chance to be discovered, wherever they surf. One leaderboard, one wave, infinite opportunity.

After Laura fell off the WSL Women’s Tour at the end of 2018, Laura began to pursue some of Australia’s most dangerous waves, including those of the infamous Shipstern Bluff. The film, Undone, released in May of 2020, follows Laura on this year-long journey.
