So today we touch on Surf Sports for the season 2019/2020.
With these strange times with Covid-19 we have been highlighting areas within our surf club & how the season unfolded. We have already highlighted Life Saving, Education, Junior Activities Section, Sponsors etc...
Our members have competed in various events including Sydney Water Surf Series, Warilla Bowls Boat Series, Ocean Thunder Boat Series, George Bass Surf Boat & Ski Marathon, ASRL Championships, NSW & AUS Pool Rescue Championships & NSW Surf Life Saving Championships.
Unfortunately no Branch or Aussie championships held due to surf/weather & covid-19.
Led by our Director of Surf Sports Micheal Locke our athletes achieved outstanding success, our surf sports program at the club is going gang busters, involving club coaches, team managers, surf officials, water safety & power craft shifts, parents support, competition secretary's with entries, support of our management committee. We even had 2 new tents to use at Aussies.
