Nippers at Broulee Surfers SLSC

Teaching ocean safety, building confidence and having fun since 1979

What is Nippers?

Nippers is Australia’s largest youth surf safety program, giving children aged 5 to 13 the skills, confidence and knowledge to enjoy the beach safely. At Broulee Surfers SLSC we run two thriving Nippers programs — one right here on Broulee Beach, and one in Canberra for families who love the coast but live in the city.

Our Nippers learn surf safety and awareness through fun activities, games and friendly competition — building skills for life while making lifelong friends.

Broulee Nippers

Sunday mornings at South Broulee Beach from 10am to 12pm during the summer season. For children aged 7 to 13.
