#SURFBOATS // Check out some of the high-flying action from Saturday’s Queenscliff SLSC Boat Carnival!
These young crews, some only 16 years old, took on the gnarly conditions with guts and determination, along with their brave sweeps! Great to see so many new U19 and U23 crews and growth in the junior ranks of the sport, particularly the girls.

#WARNING // With the current Marine Threat Tsunami Warning still active for the NSW coast, beaches are CLOSED to keep you safe.
Surf Life Saving NSW is encouraging all potential beachgoers to stay out of the water until it is safe.
New South Wales Tsunami Bulletin
www.bom.gov.au
The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre (JATWC) utilises national capacity where available to provide notification and verification of earthquakes that may generate tsunamis.If I ever was in strife, I wouldn't give a toss whether or not the lifesaver was vaccinated or a Collingwood fan or a Coalition voter. I'd be bloody grateful for their selflessness, courage and help. #WakeUpAustralia
Except for hundreds of nippers in Manly? 🤣
#WARNING // The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a tsunami warning for the NSW coastline which offers immediate threat to the marine environment.
While evacuations are not necessary, there is a high possibility of dangerous rips, waves and ocean currents, and some localised overflow onto the immediate foreshore.
Surf Life Saving NSW is encouraging potential beachgoers to exercise caution if visiting the beach today, and think twice about entering the water.
Except for the nippers carnival at Manly 🤣
Amber Pitt should we still go?

Surf Life Saving NSW lucky you hadn't already kicked out all your unvaccinated volunteers. Funny how they aren't classed as a risk to the association or the public until after the busy Christmas period.

#2022 // Happy New Year! ✨
If your celebrations include heading to the beach, please remember to please swim between the red and yellow flags. Visit the Beachsafe website or download the app to find your nearest patrolled location: bit.ly/SLSBeachSafe
THANK YOU to all our volunteer surf lifesavers on patrol throughout the festive period!
Surf Life Saving NSW double standard and extremely shameful to be thanking your volunteers for their time through the busy festive season then convieniantly deeming them a risk to society once the holidays are finished if they aren't vaccinated including children that you are willing to abuse the privilege of them giving up their school holidays to patrol. Then not even let them finish their season and compete at branch and state championships.
Surf Life Saving NSW are unvaccinated children allowed to swim between the flags?
Not for the 13+ year old children you are about to kick out of the clubs they love by the 1st of Feb if they haven't been experimentally double jabbed. Shame.
