HIM 1990-2015
Children are dropping out of sport at alarming rates. With the highest numbers of dropout occurring between the ages of ten and seventeen, the focus of this research is on the drop-out rates of adolescents from sport.

This is the largest surfing-specific survey that included both recreational and competitive surfers conducted in Australia to date.
