#ROCKFISHING // We're continuing to address preventable rock fishing and rock platform-related drowning with the establishment of a trial, FREE Life Jacket Library.
We're stoked to be working with Randwick City Council to have life jackets available to be borrowed from the Des Renford Leisure Centre in Maroubra - located just minutes from dozens of well-known rock fishing blackspots at La Perouse, Little Bay, Maroubra and Malabar.
It's a simple system that makes accessing vital safety gear easier. We know that life jackets save lives, so all rock fishers, locals and visitors alike are encouraged to make use of this FREE resource and stay safe while enjoying one of Australia’s most loved pastimes.

#SURFSPORTS // U19s is one of the hottest and most competitive divisions in our sport. At this year’s Aussies we saw the fire in the U19 Females. This group is not only pushing eachother to be faster, stronger and more fierce but they’re also the best of mates. Absolutely loved watching this board race and the push and pull between @katylararees from @swanseabelmont and @isabellatatee from @cudgenheadland.slsc 🔥🔥🔥

#MYSURFLIFE // Sometimes the chance comes up to travel with your patrol or club mates to help out at another beach and it’s always a great experience. Recently, @evansheadcasinoslsc took a road trip down the coast 143km to @redrockcorindislsc to assist with patrolling over the school holiday period 👏👏👏. If you ever get the chance to travel with your patrol, jump on it. You see new beaches from new perspective and learn so much, plus who doesn’t love a road trip!?

#MUMSOFSLSNSW // Do you know what the Nipperettes were? Kerry Armstrong-Smith was in the first group of them after joining @uminaslsc in the Under 4’s, and this year after more then 50 years of service at one club, she was inducted as a Surf Life Saving Australia Masters Legend with her awe-inspiring results including winning the very first Australian Open Champion Lifesaver event in 2000.
Kerry is just one of the thousands of incredible mums of Surf Life Saving NSW and today we wanted to share the amazing milestones she’s celebrated this year. First and foremost, she’s the mum to coach Bronte and athlete Jemma who have been by her side on the sand since they were born.
“They’ve come down to patrol since day dot and they learned early on it’s a lifestyle,” she says. “Surf Life Saving has always been about family and to watch them grow up around the beach and have the same love and passion for it has been amazing.”
And even though all three have always been competitive Kerry says that the emphasis was always on having fun, showing up, and most importantly being together.
“From the start it’s always been about having fun, never an emphasis on winning it’s about having fun, training, improving skills and knowing how to keep themselves and others safe.”
Kerry says what being part of a club gives you as a parent, is time with your kids, and that’s her message to any mums out there thinking about getting involved with a club.
“It’s one of those things that brings you together, you do a lot together, water safety, patrol, travel, training, competing.”
In fact, Kerry says “If the Box is working today, Bronte and I will be out there catching waves together for Mother’s Day.”
