Surf Sports encompasses many different disciplines

Surf Sports in the Senior part of the Club are different from the Junior Club in that there is a wider range of events for Seniors and there are a number of team events.  

Competing in Surf Sport has a transformative impact on an individual’s character and personal growth. The relentless pursuit of excellence and the constant exposure to challenging conditions foster resilience, determination, and self-discipline. Athletes learn to overcome setbacks, adapt to adversity, and strive for continual improvement. Surf Sport competitions test not only physical prowess but also mental fortitude, shaping individuals into strong and capable leaders. The experience of competing teaches invaluable life lessons, instilling a sense of responsibility, humility, and an unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of others.  

As a qualified Surf Lifeguard you are able to participate in regular competition events (Surf Sports) against lifeguards from other Surf Clubs. Surf Sports events are referred to as Carnivals. The objective of Surf Sports is to improve the fitness and skill levels of lifeguards – It is the prime training ground for the physical and psychological demands of saving lives in the surf at Ocean Beach. 

Surf Sport events are held over the summer providing local, national and international competition for Surf Sport Lifeguards. There are also national pool competitions where members compete in swimming, rescue, and obstacle races. 

Athletes can train and compete across all the Surf Sports disciplines or choose to specialise in one.
