A group of young surf lifesavers from Redhead Surf Life Saving Club in the Hunter region recently received a Rescue of the Month Award from Surf Life Saving NSW for saving the lives of three people caught in a rip.

While the host club for this year’s Envirobank NSW Country Surf Life Saving Championships came away with top billing, other Far North Coast clubs and competitors proved they are no slouches with five clubs featuring in the top ten.

Early on 31 December 2019, the Far South Coast community woke to an emergency text message. Fire was an imminent threat.

Surf Life Saving NSW is pleased to announce the surf boat crews chosen to represent NSW at the 2020 Interstate Surf Boat Championship to be held at Mollymook SLSC alongside the 2020 ASRL Open on Friday 14 February.

Despite a solid challenge from south coast club Warilla-Barrack Point, reigning champions Cudgen Headland have emerged victorious at the 2020 Envirobank NSW Country Surf Life Saving Championships.

The team from Warilla-Barrack Point have posed a serious threat to the defending Country Champions and have taken it to the host club Cudgen Headland on their own turf.

A number of long serving members have been recognised for their outstanding efforts and service to Surf Life Saving in the 2020 Australia Day Honours List.

With forecast extreme heatwave conditions expected to drive thousands of people to the beach this weekend, surf lifesavers are warning beachgoers to exercise caution as large swells and strong winds are forecast for the NSW coastline.

Cudgen Headland SLSC will host 34 country clubs this weekend for the 2020 Envirobank NSW Country Championships. The event this year, more than ever, will bring together clubs and communities including many of those affected by fires across the Christmas/New Year period.
