Australia has a new World Junior Champion with Sierra Kerr taking out the title in San Diego, California on 13 January, 2024.
The win secures Kerr’s spot on the 2024 Challenger Series, giving her the option to skip this current Qualifying Series and focus her sights firmly on CT qualification.
The women’s final was a showdown between Kerr and Zoe Benedetto (USA). Kerr put on a dominant performance, scoring a near-perfect 9.00 (out of a possible 10) and earning a 16.83 combined score as she continues to push the boundaries of progressive surfing.
“That was the craziest heat,” Kerr said in a post-heat interview.
“It’s amazing to win. I feel like I haven’t been surfing that good this contest. I went in the final just going to leave nothing on the table. I felt like I actually surfed good, so I was frothing. I wasn’t even expecting to qualify for the Challenger Series. I forgot that was a thing. That’s insane. Thank you to everyone who came and watched, and everyone that’s watching.”

The 16-year-old, who divides her time between Australia and the US, grew up surfing the Gold Coast, and when not away competing, trains at the Surfing Australia High Performance Centre in Casuarina in northern NSW as part of Surfing Australia’s High Performance Program.
Sierra has been a part of ‘Limitless’, an initiative of the program that gives rising talent a platform to progress their level of surfing and push the boundaries of what’s possible in the water. As part of this initiative, Sierra last year travelled to Keramas and the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, with her dad Josh Kerr, an aerial specialist, as one of the coaches.
Nominations Now Open For The Australian Surfing Awards Incorporating The Hall Of Fame: Will Be To Be Held At Iconic Bondi Pavilion On 28th February, 2024
Surfing Australia has opened nominations for the Australian Surfing Awards incorporating the Hall of Fame. Nominations close on the 31st of January 2024.
This year, Surfing Australia are ushering in a wave of exciting changes to this prestigious event, including the addition of new awards.
A total of 19 awards will be presented to both individuals and groups who have made significant and enduring contributions to the development of surfing in Australia.
One of the most notable changes is to the Rising Star Award, which will pay tribute to the legacies of two of Australia’s greatest World Champion surfers. These awards are aimed at fostering the development of Australia’s junior surfing rising stars. The Stephanie Gilmore Female Rising Star Award presented by Griffith University will acknowledge the Australian junior female surfer (under 18) whose surfing performance in the past year, along with her upstanding character, shows the most rising star qualities. Similarly, the Mick Fanning Male Rising Star Award presented by Griffith University will recognise the Australian junior male surfer (under 18) whose surfing performance in the past year, along with his upstanding character, shows the most rising star qualities.
Mick Fanning said: “Surfing Australia has always provided a strong pathway for young surfers aspiring to achieve greatness in surfing. It will be a real honour to present this award to an individual elevating themselves and lifting the level and potential of Aussie surfing each year.”
Furthermore, Surfing Australia are excited to introduce the Breakthrough Surf Brand of the Year Award, which will recognise a breakthrough surf brand that encapsulates Australian surfing culture today and is giving back to develop, innovate and enhance Australian surfing.
Surf Film of the Year – Filmer Award will be presented to the creator of the best feature-length surf video or film made by an Australian in 2023. While the Surf Clip of the Year Award – Surfer Athlete will recognise the most dynamic Australian surf clip edit of the year for 2023 (under 15 minutes).
Your voice matters in determining the deserving recipients of these coveted titles, so Surfing Australia encourage you to submit your nominations now. You also have the opportunity to enter your photos or videos through the online form.
The event will also include the induction of an outstanding athlete into Surfing Australia’s Hall of Fame. Last year, Taj Burrow was added to the prestigious list, alongside other world-class athletes such as Joel Parkinson, Stephanie Gilmore, Julian Wilson, Owen Wright, Mick Fanning, Mark Occhilupo and Sally Fitzgibbons.
For the 60th year anniversary of Surfing Australia and first time in the event’s history, the prestigious awards will be hosted at the iconic Bondi Pavilion at Bondi Beach on February 28.
Surfing Australia CEO, Chris Mater said: “We’re thrilled to announce that the Australian Surfing Awards will take place, for the first time, at the recently redeveloped iconic Bondi Pavilion. Bondi Beach is one of the most famous surf beaches in the country and the revamped pavilion sits at its heart. It is the perfect venue to host this long-standing event, now in its 60th year, which honours not only our top surfers but also those who contributed behind the scenes in events, business, media, photography and more. ”
Surfing Australia Chief of Sport, Luke Madden said: “We’re excited to add new awards to this event and have Mick Fanning. and Stephanie Gilmore on board again supporting surfing’s junior talent. We can’t wait to see Australia’s best surfers, surf schools and clubs as well as community groups, businesses and creators showcase their outstanding work over the past year and being rewarded for their efforts.”

Newport SLSC Members In Nutri Grain Iron Series: Update
Newport Surf Life Saving Club athletes, Jackson Borg and Lizzie Welborn have picked up their best Kellogg’s Nutri Grain Iron Series result for the season, finishing second and third respectively in Round 4 of the Series at Maroubra Beach. The Newport Kinghorn Surf Racing Academy has six athletes competing in this seasons' series.
What shaped up as an excellent weekend for NSW with victory in the Interstate Ocean Championships for the fifth straight year on Thursday 11 January would finish with a bang on Sunday, as Borg and Welborn made crucial headway in the race to finish inside the top 10 overall, positions which ensure automatic qualification for the next Series.
Saturday and Sunday 13-14 January set up as two equally gruelling days of competition for the nation’s elite Iron athletes – first a Handicap format where results accumulated over two lead-in races dictated your start position for the Final, before the elimination-based Survival format played out in Round 4.
The latter played into Borg’s skillset – the 25-year-old took out the format last season, his first ever Round win – and once again he showed his talents, leading out of the water on the Ski and Swim legs before being overtaken by reigning Series champion, Matt Bevilacqua on the closing Board leg.
In finishing second, Borg jumped from 11th to 5th on the overall leaderboard with two rounds left to go.
For Welborn, her 3rd place finish in Round 4 moved her into the top 4, just six points behind Georgia Miller. Coming off her best ever finish of second overall last season, she will be eyeing strong results in Round 5 and 6 in Queensland next month to replicate the feat.
Welborn was never outside the first four past the finish post on Sunday, winning the opening elimination race.
Among NSW’s other competitors, Dan Collins was able to earn his first top 10 finish of the Series thus far – working his way through the Survival format into the final before finishing 8th on the day.
Conner Maggs was the best of the group on Saturday, finishing 6th overall and even grabbing a race win prior to the Handicap final.
Following the final race on Sunday, our athletes also showed that they are lifesavers first and foremost, rushing to the aid of 25 struggling swimmers caught in a flash rip current some 100 metres off-shore and 300 metres south of the competition area.
A group of 10 Nutri-Grain Iron athletes, other competitors and coaches, all qualified surf lifesavers, swung into action despite being in recovery mode, grabbing boards, rescue tubes and anything they could to swim out to rescue those in trouble.
They were able to secure the group beyond the break and wait for the competition Inflatable Rescue Boats (IRBs) to arrive and take them safely to shore.
All swimmers were returned safely to shore and treated by the Maroubra SLSC patrol, with no major injuries or incidents.

Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games Preview: Good Luck Amelie Haskell!
January 17, 2023
Forty-eight of Australia's best up-and-coming winter athletes, including Avalon Beach's Amelie Haskell have touched down in Gangwon, South Korea to compete in the 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games from Friday 19 January to Thursday 1 February.
The athletes will compete across eight disciplines: Alpine Skiing, Biathlon, Cross-Country Skiing, Figure Skating, Freestyle Skiing, Ice Hockey, Short Track Speed Skating and Snowboard with all the action being shown on 9Now and Stan Sport.
The Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Team will be led by Vancouver 2010 Olympian Ramone Cooper as Chef de Mission. While four-time Olympian Britteny Cox will accompany the Australian Team in a mentor role through the IOC's Athlete365 Career+ program.
The Gangwon 2024 Games will see the new event of dual moguls competed for the first time in Youth Olympic history, and the first all-Australian Ice Hockey Team will represent Australia at a Youth Olympic Games (YOG), played in the 3x3 format.
Team Australia will take part in the Gangwon 2024 Opening Ceremony on Friday 19 January from 10pm AEDT, with the action set to heat up on Saturday 20 January when Australia competes in Biathlon (women's 10km individual, men's 12.5km individual), Short Track Speed Skating (men's 1500m), Snowboard Cross (men's and women's) and Ice Hockey (women's) from 1pm AEDT.
Gangwon 2024 is the fourth edition of the Winter Youth Olympic Games, with previous Games being held in Lausanne 2020, Lillehammer 2016 and the inaugural edition of Innsbruck 2012.
Winter Olympians Sami Kennedy-Sim and Jackie Narracott have also been selected by the International Federations of Winter Sports as 'Athlete Role Models' and will aim to mentor and support the young athletes over the duration of the Games.
Team Australia have claimed seven medals over the three previous Winter YOG: one gold, three silver and three bronze.
Amelie will represent Australia in the Snowboard Halfpipe. Amelie first started snowboard halfpipe in 2010 and is now a member of Snow Australia’s 2023 Emerging Talent Program.
The talented snowboarder has achieved a number of top 10 results on the North American Cup Tour, with a personal best seventh place finish in Aspen, Colorado in February 2023. Earlier that same year the then 16-year-old also placed fourth in the open class halfpipe at the 2023 USA National Championships.
10 Winter Youth Olympic athletes have gone on to represent Australia at the Winter Olympic Games; Emily Arthur (Snowboard), Alex Ferlazzo (Luge), Greta Small (Alpine Skiing), Lucy Glanville (Biathlon), Harry Laidlaw (Alpine Skiing), Josie Baff (Snowboard), Hugo Hinckfuss (Cross-Country Skiing), Abi Harrigan (Freestyle Skiing), Louis Muhlen-Schulte (Alpine Skiing), and Katie Parker (Alpine Skiing).

49er And Women’s IQFOiL Paris Olympic Quotas Secured On Final Day Of Sail Sydney
December 15, 2023
Australia added two more Paris 2024 Olympic nation quotas on the final day of Sail Sydney, with the 49er and Women’s iQFOiL joining the Mixed 470 and Nacra 17 achieved yesterday.
Australian Sailing Team duo and Pittwater sailors Jim Colley and Shaun Connor achieved the nation quota when they won the 49er class ahead of Tom Needham and Miles Davey and the team of Tom Burton and Max Paul.
Sail Sydney is held each year for all Olympic classes. This year Sail Sydney (9-15 December) was selected as the Oceania Olympic Qualification event. There were two Olympic country qualification places awarded in each of the ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 for Oceania sailors at Sail Sydney as well.
There were 26 ILCA 7s from 7 countries in the event won convincingly by Sam King TAS from Isaac Schotte QLD and Campbell Patton BER and NSW.
Australia and New Zealand had already qualified for the Olympics in the World Championships earlier this year in the Hague, Netherlands. The two Oceania ILCA 7 places were won by Eroni Leilua from Samoa who qualified his country with a 6th and Viliame Ratulu from Fiji.

“We’re really happy to cap off the season with a win on home waters,” Jim said after he and Shaun finished their races.
“We got four days of different conditions which was great. There were some light and shifty days early and some bigger breezes later in the week which kept racing really close among the Australian squad which is what we want.”
Although not quite reaching the previous days' heights, it was another heat-impacted day across the two race venues.
The iQFOiL classes raced on Botany Bay and in the Women’s event it was Samantha Costin romping to victory and securing the nation quota for Australia in the process. Grae Morris put a similar gap on the field in the men’s event, with both taking home the Sail Sydney wins in addition to the titles of 2023 iQFOiL National Champions.
Australia’s ILCA 6 squad continued their very positive performance trajectory, with excitement rising for the impending 2024 Worlds in January coupled with an expected close competition setting up for Australia’s Paris Olympic selection. This week it was Western Australian Elyse Ainsworth who came out on top ahead of squad mates Casey Imeneo and Zoe Thomson.
“It was a tough week,” noted Ainsworth. “I think collectively as a squad we really pushed each other, and it was a good lead-up for the worlds in January.
“Sailing on Sydney Harbour is tricky, you need good eyes with all the traffic. I pieced together a good race today and was happy to come away with the win.”
Hector Patarau was the best-placed Australian in the Men’s Kitefoil where he finished third overall. That was good enough to win a second National Championship, but unfortunately not the Paris nation quota with New Zealander Lukas Walton-Keim coming second.
“I had a little incident on the bottom mark where Mikhael (Novikov of Vanuatu) and I tangled, so I did a penalty turn and finished third in the race and third overall,” said Patarau.
“Obviously disappointed with the result but happy with how I sailed during the event. I will now have a rest before the European season next year, which includes the Last Chance regatta in Hyeres which will be another opportunity to qualify Australia for the Games.”
Australian Sailing High Performance Director Iain Brambell was “pleased” with the outcome of the week.
“We were able to secure the four additional qualification quota spots for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, which is a good outcome. The athletes had to overcome some trying conditions throughout the week including heat in the high thirties which was similar to what we experienced at the Olympic Test Event in Marseille. It’s always a performance benefit for both the athletes and support staff to practice and execute the systems we’ll be delivering during the Games.”
Australia has achieved nine nation quotas from a possible ten, and with only Breiana Whitehead selected to the team so far, the other classes will focus on delivering the international baseline performances required for nomination to the 2024 Australian Olympic Sailing Team.
“Our athletes are aware of our internal nomination process and will be working diligently to perform at the designated events to earn the coveted Olympic nomination places within the Olympic Sailing Team,” concluded Brambell
January will be busy for the Australian Sailing Team, with the ILCA 6 (Argentina), ILCA 7 (Adelaide) and iQFOiL (Lanzarote) World Championships all taking place. Everything will build towards the Palma and Hyeres regattas in April ahead of the Paris Olympics where the sailing competition will commence on July 28.
