From the shores of Southern California to the iconic point breaks of Queensland, the South Bay Boardriders Club (SBBC) are set to make its mark on the world stage at the World Club Championship, held at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast from the 13th –15th of February 2026.
Founded with the mission of celebrating surf culture and strengthening the community across the South Bay of Los Angeles, SBBC has grown into one of the largest and most respected boardriders clubs in the United States. With a membership that spans generations and a commitment to fostering both grassroots and competitive surfing, the club has built a reputation for bringing people together through their shared love of the ocean.
The South Bay is home to a proud surfing tradition, with storied breaks such as El Porto, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, and Redondo producing world-class surfers and lifelong enthusiasts alike. SBBC embodies that heritage, running seasonal surf contests, youth development programs, and community events that have become staples of the region’s surf calendar.
Now, the club will carry that tradition across the Pacific, competing against 31 of the best boardriders clubs from around the world in Queensland. For SBBC, this is not just a competition, it’s an opportunity to showcase Southern California’s unique surf culture, connect with clubs from across the globe, and represent the spirit of the South Bay on one of surfing’s most iconic stages.
As the countdown to February begins, all eyes will be on Snapper Rocks, and SBBC is ready to fly the flag for California and the United States Of America.
