This year, Pacific will again offer the opportunity for Years 5-12 students to join the Pacific Board Riders (PBR). The aim of the program is to provide a structured opportunity for students to develop their surfing skills and grow the culture of surfing within the College.

Weekly sessions will be held on Friday mornings at various locations around the southern end of the Sunshine Coast (primarily Currimundi and Caloundra), depending on conditions. Term 1 sessions will commence on Friday 16th February (Week 4).

Requirements For Participation

PBR is not a ‘learn to surf’ program. To be eligible to participate in PBR, participants must be able to swim and surf competently (negotiate the break and catch waves unassisted) in various surf conditions and provide all their own equipment (surfboard, wetsuit). Parents are responsible for transporting their child to and from the session venue each week.

Due to stringent supervision and safety requirements, participation in the program will be capped at 24 students and will be dependent on individual competencies, including an ocean swim and board paddle, assessed by the teachers in charge.

As part of PBR, a team of Under 12 surfers will be selected to compete for the College at the Pacific Pulse surfing competition in Term 4.

To register your interest, students need to see Mrs Natalie Campbell at her office (near the tuckshop).
