Surf Life Saving NSW is pleased to announce the surf boat crews selected to represent NSW at the 2021 Interstate Surf Boat Challenge to be held at Mollymook SLSC alongside the 2021 ASRL Open on Friday 5 March.
The Interstate Challenge is a one-day-event and an opportunity for crews from around Australia to go head-to-head with their interstate rivals.
Competition for selection was fierce as the usual selection carnivals were condensed into one, the Manly Boat Carnival, due to COVID-19 restrictions.
NSW will be looking to defend its 2019 title after the 2020 Interstate event was cancelled due to dangerous conditions.
Six clubs including North Cronulla (2 crews), South Curl Curl (1 crew), Wanda (1 crew), Collaroy (2 crews ), North Bondi (1 crew) and Bulli (1 crew) will be representing NSW at the elite event, with crews to contest the U19, U23, Reserve and Open Divisions.
The 2021 Interstate Surf Boat Championships will be held at Mollymook SLSC alongside the 2021 Australian Surf Rowers League Open on Friday 5 March.
