With a strong win in last year’s event, the NSW Team will be pushing hard to go back-to-back at this years Interstate Surfboat Championships.


North Cronulla makes up three of the crews alongside Bulli’s dominant Open Men and Palm Beach’s Open Women, Avalon Beach Reserve Women, Newport Reserve Men and Queenscliff’s U19 Women.



Its business as usual for Bulli Gelcon, Palm Beach Patriots and North Cronulla Funky crews who have been selected for their third consecutive year to represent NSW proving that consistency is key, especially with the point score selection carnivals held.



Greg Heard (Queenscliff) will be managing the team again this year along side Assistant Team Manager Lachlan Payne (Gerringong).



"The athletes are excited to be pulling on the sky blue cap to continue the recent successes of the NSW surf boat team," said Mr Heard.



The Interstate Surfboat Championships kicks off on Friday 16 February 2018 at Elouera SLSC, Sydney with all 8 divisions.
