Surf sports

There are a wide range of opportunities available for members interested in participating in Surf Life Saving Surf Sports.

Nippers and seniors can compete over the summer season in Far South Coast Branch carnivals, NSW Country, NSW State and Australian Championships.

Nippers are also taught the fundamental skills of both beach and water activities to prepare them for carnivals should they wish to compete.

The Club competes annually for the Jack Beale Memorial Trophy, awarded for the highest point score at the Far South Coast Branch Championships.

The Far South Coast Branch also recognises achievement and age champions across the various events held at carnivals, providing opportunities for selection in the Far South Coast Branch team for Interbranch competitions.
