The Global Surfer Survey!

Are you a surfer? Then you can help me out….and all surfers. I’m involved in a research project called The Global Surfer Survey which is a collaboration between the UNSW Beach Safety Research Group (my group), Surfing NSW, and colleagues from France, Spain and Portugal…and probably a lot more when it’s all said and done.

We’d like you to help us know more about surfers around the world by spending 15 minutes or so filling out this important anonymous survey. This research study is all about understanding who surfers are, how long they’ve been surfing, how often they surf, and what their opinions are about coastal and environmental issues. We are also very interested in the role surfers play by rescuing people in trouble in the surf. We think surfers have a lot to offer to society and the results of this survey will help us tell their story.

Thanks to Surfing NSW, surfers based in NSW can go into a draw to win a custom made surfboard valued at $1000!

For all other surfers…..this is just such a valuable thing to do. We want to show the important contributions that surfers make and help them have more of a voice in important coastal issues.

Please do the survey here and share share share across the world!
