Surf Sports

Being active is part of the Australian way of life. The Surf Life Saving movement encourages members to be active, to do more and to be more.

Our sport forms a significant component of who we are as an organisation. From Nipper to Elite Ironman and Ironwoman, all our members can participate in local, regional, state, national and international surf sports competitions. Unlike other sports, the competition aims to improve lifesaving skills to keep our beaches safe. There are many disciplines to cater for everyone’s interests. From swimming events to board, ski paddling, Surf Boats, IRBs, Lifesaving and Patrol Competitions, and events that don’t require getting your toes wet, such as beach sprints and beach flags events.
