Boardies Day is a fun and interactive way for schools, workplaces, community groups and individuals to help save lives on WA beaches.

Planning your Boardies Day

Whether it's the classic 'wear your boardies' event, a summer themed event, or a mixture of summer loving themes - it's the feeling of the beach you're trying to recreate.

Ask your guests to make a donation, or be creative to raise funds to keep your beach safe.

Red & Yellow

Decorate with red and yellow decorations— balloons, streamers, plates and napkins.

Ask your guests to wear red and yellow too, and you've got the makings of a colourful way to support beach safety.

The Classic

Whether it's the classic 'wear your boardies' event, another summer themed event, or a mixture of summer loving themes - it's the feeling of the beach you're trying to recreate.

Ask your guests to make a small donation, or be creative to raise funds to keep your beach safe.

At School

Think of your favourite beach shirt, hat or flip flops. Think and esky full of cold drinks, and a picnic.

Throw in some beach themed games and you'll forget you're not at the beach.

Picnic Time

Lay a few beach towels on the floor and lounge around relaxing with a picnic.

Organise some beach games like beach-ball soccer, water bucket relay or ring-toss with floaties.

At Work

Keep your day wear on, but let your stomach think about summer days at the beach with a work bbq.

Keep it as simple as a hot dog, or up the game and go gourmet.

Your way

Think big - pick one or do it all. Wear your boardies and flip flops, decorate in red and yellow, get the barbie grilling or the picnic underway.

Just don't forget to tell your friends!
