Determination and dedication to rescue a stranded caver at Snapper Point in June has earned a team of Central Coast surf lifesavers the prestigious National Rescue of the Month Award in Canberra.
Beachgoers looking to make the most of a warm start to spring this week are being urged to take water safety seriously with volunteer surf life saving patrols still more than a fortnight away.
Bragging rights and glory were on the line last weekend as the best surfers from lifesaving clubs around NSW came together at North Narrabeen for the 2018 NSW Midford Board Riding Championships.
The 2018 Midford Board Riding Championships took place at North Narrabeen between 7 - 9 September. The state's top surfers from as far north as Cudgen Headland and down to Shoalhaven made their way to one of the most iconic surf breaks in the country in an effort to claim a 2018 state title.
Congratulations to every competitor from the under 14s right through to the masters, a solid three days of surfing in testing conditions. SLSNSW is appreciative of the long hours and support of the competition officials, as well as the North Narrabeen surf club, North Narrabeen Boardriders and Surfing NSW who made the event a success.
For the first time since surfing’s boom in popularity in the 1960s, leaders of Surf Life Saving NSW and Surfing NSW have reached an agreement between the two state bodies. Increased cooperation, strong developmental pathways for athletes, and shared industry knowledge are just some of the many benefits for Australia’s coastal communities.
Surf Life Saving NSW is saddened to hear of the passing of Australian Olympian, surf sport legend and former Maroubra SLSC Life Member Dennis Green OAM earlier this week.
The best surf board riders within the lifesaving community are counting down the hours until they can wet-suit up in their quest for glory at North Narrabeen’s famous break where the 2018 NSW Board Riding Championships get underway from Friday.
With the onset of spring rock fishers, boaties, surfers, and swimmers will return to the ocean in droves, but lifesaving community have a warning for those looking to make the most of their time at the beach; check the conditions before heading out into the water.
He may have been a latecomer to the surf lifesaving family, but for over three decades Richie Lytham OAM has given his all to the movement he loves.
