Don’t sweat it! You can take part in SurFebruary with any water-based activity of your choosing (be it swimming, SUP’ing or something else). If you are keen to learn, keep an eye on our socials to see how we’re partnering with Aussie Surf Schools who can help you kickstart your SurFebruary journey with beginner lessons.

Any body of water will do – so long as you get wet! We’ve had teams waterski on lakes, paddleboard on rivers and swim in the pool. We love to see our participants doing it their way and getting creative!

We encourage everyone to take on the challenge of getting in the water every single day, but we know it’s not always possible. We recommend you register as a team or join a team in your local community, so you can tag-team with friends and share the load.
