The role of the Surf & Boardsports Industry Association is to drive the vibrancy, growth and business opportunities for members and the industry we conduct our day to day business in.

Your Membership helps ensure the future strength and growth of the industry and the sports and lifestyles that we share our passion for.

Membership of the association consists of bricks and mortar retailers and the brands that sell through and support these retailers. As our membership needs are specific to our constituency, the association is not open to vertical retailers or vertical brands.

Membership Fees

FY18-$4,800,000 FY19-$5,200,000 FY20-$5,400,000 = $5,133,333 average turnover per year.Therefore membership level = Medium Business Member
