Membership Fees

Below are our fees for the 2025-2026 season.

Our competitive memberships tend to be a bit higher than some other clubs because at South Brighton we cover the cost of entry to carnivals/competitions rather than passing this on to members. This can add up significantly over the season - for context, entry fees vary from $20 - $120 per carnival/competition and would otherwise cost members an additional $120 - $240 each year.

If you have any questions or would like to set up a payment plan please get in touch at admin@sbsc.co.nz

Junior Surf Membership $70 - $150
