Female Participation Research Campaign
 (Beginner or Aspirational Surfer)

Help us, help you!

You are about to complete a specific online survey tailored to beginner or aspirational female surfers.

Your feedback will help Surfing NSW best capture the priorities of women and girls to help create strategies to attract, retain and further empower females through surfing.
 
By completing a Her Way | Her Say Survey, you will go in the draw to WIN a Wombat Softboard, one of two Wombat Softboard Apparel Packs, one of five ROXY Surf Travel Packs, one of three Maksha Balance Boards, or one of twenty $50 SDS online vouchers.

*Only one survey per person is eligible for competition - see campaign and competition terms and conditions.
