Bio
Jackson Borg started out as a young nipper at Newport SLSC, but didn’t find his stride until U17s where he has since gone from strength to strength. During the 2022/23 Season, Borg ticked off a life goal and won a round of the Iron Series, just a stones through from his home on the Northern Beaches. Then in 2025, he was crowned the NSW State Ironman Champion. He is known for his love and commitment for training, but outside of the sport Borg has recently finished a degree in Biotechnology and is an avid NBA and rugby union fan.
Jackson, what is your favourite race format?
The Enduro or the Eliminator, I like to think that I get better the longer and harder the race becomes.
What is the best of being a surf sports athlete?
Being able to contend not only with some of the fittest athletes in the world, but also being able to contend with Mother Nature at the same time.
What is the best piece of advice that you have ever been given?
If you put the hard work in, the results will show up eventually.
What is your top Iron Series memory?
Being almost a whole leg behind in the beginning of Race 2 in Round 7 Grand Eliminator last year and clawing my way back into the top 8 with a sprint finish to get into the final race.
