SURF SPORTS
Skill, fitness, teamwork, and fun in the ocean
Surf Sports combines skill, fitness, teamwork, and fun — helping members develop as lifesavers while enjoying the ocean in a competitive and social environment.
Surf Sports at Fingal Beach SLSC
Surf Sports is an exciting and important part of life at Fingal Beach Surf Life Saving Club. It combines skill, fitness, teamwork, and fun — helping members develop as lifesavers while enjoying the ocean in a competitive and social environment.
Over the years, Fingal Beach members have competed at local, branch, and state levels, achieving successes both in the water and on the sand. In recent seasons, participation has dropped due to COVID, and we're now focused on rebuilding our Surf Sports program and welcoming new members of all ages and skill levels.
