Surf Sports

Surf sports are a great way to not only improve your lifesaving skills but also to actively participate in a healthy lifestyle. Each season there is an opportunity for our members to participate at a club, branch, state, national and international levels. Athletes can compete in a full range of beach and surf, pool rescue, surf boats, and surf board riding events.

Upcoming Events

Divisions

  • Youth

    As a transition into Open competitions our U14 and U15 members compete in the youth division. This division was created to allow coaches and officials to development and tailor events to the needs of these members.

  • Opens

    Our Open division comprises of U17, U19 and Open members. In this division age groups compete across all Surf Life Saving disciplines. Our team competes regularly throughout summer and winter at across various levels and also represent us at major Interstate, National and International Championships each season.

  • Masters

    This division is divided into 5years age groups from O/30s to O/85s. In Masters the emphasis is about team and achieving your personal bests. With life taking over most of your time, Shelly Beach Masters provides you with a fun and supportive environment to keep you fit, healthy and felling young.

Much like the surf and traditional events the events are derived from actual rescue scenarios which our members will perform during a rescue.
