Awards & Trophies

Many volunteers spend their weekend on the beach as lifesavers, athletes, trainers, assessors. Other members work tirelessly behind the scenes everyday to ensure the success of our surf club. The awards are developed to recognise these outstanding contributions and achievements from surf club members.
