About Us / Surf Sports
Welcome | Lifeguarding | Surf Sports | Junior Surf | Downloads | LinksSurf Life Saving is recognised as the most effective surf rescue service in the world. Surf Sports play a key role in improving lifesaving skills, fitness and motivation.
We have a comprehensive framework of training and support for everyone from kids competing in Junior Surf through to adults and masters.
A network of competitions at local, regional and national level offers athletes the chance to meet, compete and enhance their lifesaving skills.
Surf Sports is an important tool in membership recruitment and retention allowing lifeguards, coaches, managers, and official’s opportunities to develop by attending courses, seminars, training camps, and travelling. Athletes of all ages compete.
Athletes from age 7-13 participate in Surf Sports through the Junior Surf programme. Once an athlete has turned 14 and attained their Surf Lifeguard Award they can then compete at Surf Sports Events.
What can you compete in?
Surf Sports involves a number of disciplines for both males and females, including surf swimming, board paddling, surf ski, beach flags, beach sprint, Iron man, surf canoe, surf boat and Inflatable Rescue Boats (IRB).
