Newport SLSC excelled again this year, finishing the championships ranked 2nd on 249 points, with their Newport Kinghorn Academy Surf Racing Academy accounting for a swathe of those - although all local clubs had members winning points for their club in each Age Division or ensuring their club's colours were front and centre on the sand or in the water.
The peninsula also saw a large crew of officials heading north to ensure the championships could take place, happily giving their time, energy, and a fair amount of money, to be where they could support the events.
On a special note during the week of Aussies, Newport's Life Member Gary Cook received a recognition award for his 30 years of service as an official which is an outstanding contribution to his club and lifesaving as a whole.

Three great peninsula March Past teams made the Finals with the Collaroy Ladies being awarded the Gold, the Freshwater Maroon in 5th and the Collaroy Bears in 8th.
The Collaroy Ladies Team have been judged the best of all the March Past teams at Branch, State and Nationals over several years, with the Collaroy Bears also always among the best of the best. These two teams are excellent exponents of the traditional event that dates back to the pioneering days of Surf Life Saving. Ladies March Past was first held in 1946 and Collaroy competed and won the first NSW Ladies March Past Championship in 1947. In those days the team comprised a total of 20 marchers.
The Collaroy Ladies weren't the club's only Gold on the sand with Kerry Armstrong winning the 70-74 Female 1km Beach Run and Miho Kawasaki winning the 60-64 Female 1km Beach Run.
Some of the biggest smiles came from more than 30 athletes hitting the beach for the Adaptive Program events on Day Eight of the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships.
With most competitors tackling all events – beach runs, beach sprints, flags, swim, board and wading – the competition was fierce in front of a loud and energetic crowd at North Kirra.
In its second year of operation, the Adaptive Program at Aussies aims to give people of all abilities the opportunity to experience the exhilarating thrill of surf sports, whilst growing participation and competition opportunities nationwide.
John Baker AM ESM, President of Surf Life Saving Australia said, “This shows that Surf Life Saving is for everyone. We pride ourselves and our Surf Clubs on being really open and it doesn’t matter where you come from, what your ability is, what your background, everyone is welcome at a Surf Club, and everyone can find a meaningful place and rewarding experience.
“This is a great example of what we want to be as a movement which is open to all Australians.
“We are seeing growth in numbers from last year and we would like to grow those numbers further. Our aim is to make this a showcase every year and be an example to other sports on what they can do with inclusivity and adaptive programs.
“There is a huge amount of interest from those here at the Australian Surf Life Saving Champs and the support has been great to see.” Mr. Baker said
Gold, Silver, Bronze, points and 'having a go' is still brimming over across all ages - it's a good thing everyone has an Autumn School Holidays break to wind down in.

The results run are taken solely from the Finals - medallists and those who placed in the Finals. Apologies to those who ran in the heats or made it to the Quarterfinals and Semis but are not listed - there was at least 10k of lists to go through just to compile this 'wrap', and you may have needed two cups of tea by the time you get to the end of this page.
Left in this year are some of the athletes individual numbers (in brackets), so an indication of the thousands who took part across the age divisions may be seen.
Everyone who had a go was already a winner through being a participant.
As Newport SLSC said post-the 2025 Championships:
''SLSA promotes our movement as existing to save lives and create great Australians. I think our team this week showed a great deal of the great Australians part, while also showing how ready they are to save lives.''
And as we all know, 'our team' is all of those who join their local surf club and give back to their community in whatever way they can.
New South Wales Win Inaugural Pathways Interstate Championships
April 1, 2025
New South Wales young surf lifesavers have won the inaugural Pathways Interstate Championships held as part of the ‘Aussies’ on the Gold Coast.
The U14/U15 competitions saw many athletes backing up from the Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Youth Australian Surf Life Saving Championships to represent their State today across the beach and water events.
The sky blue of NSW took out the overall championships, with the overall title going down to the wire in the final beach flags.
NSW Coach Hannah Minogue said today’s win was really special and the pathways athletes enjoyed the opportunity to get more racing in, after a reduced program during the Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Nipper and Youth Championships due to poor conditions being felt in Queensland.
“The kids were really excited to be racing today. The weather during the Aussies Youth Champs meant they didn’t get to race as much. So to be able to get out there today just enjoy it, they were ecstatic.
“Its new having the [Pathways] Interstates as part of the Aussies. But any opportunity for these kids to put on the sky blue and represent your State is a real honour.
“We know Queensland is always going to be tough and that makes for really exciting racing. It all came down to the beach flags so it was great to see all the kids get around our beachies… it’s always nice to get a win over Queensland,” she said.
For NSW’s Joshua Clark from Manly SLSC, a gold medal in the U14 Male Beach Flags while making his debut in the sky blue cap was the redemption he was chasing, after settling for the silver medal on Saturday for the Aussie Youth Championships.
“It feels so good to come out with the win. It was a tough Aussies for me, getting silver in a close fight, so I was very happy to get the win today and to do my part to help New South Wales.
“This is my first time having the privilege of being part of the team and I’m loving it.
“I’ve been preparing all season [for this race] with my coaches Michael, Ben and Mike… I couldn’t ask for a better support and coaching crew, so all the credit goes to them for all the work they put in helping me with my training.
“This is my first time racing at North Kirra and it’s been a fun couple of days,” he said.
Queensland narrowly finished behind NSW by just seven points. Qld Cyclone’s Mary Thompson from Maroochydore SLSC, took out the Pathways Female Board race, representing her State for the second time.
“It feels pretty good especially because conditions are flat and pretty hard, so you have to have a good start and just keep going and not look back.
“The conditions are so different [from Saturday], a lot of flatter and a tiny shorey.
“It breaks a bit far out but most [waves] break close [to shore] so you just have to keep paddling.
“This one means a lot, representing Queensland. This is my second year racing for Queensland and it’s so special because you represent something bigger and something more than your Club.”
Western Australia rounded out the overall podium finishing in third place. It was Sorrento’s Mia Bright that got WA off to a flying start, backing up her gold medal at the Aussies to win today’s U14 Female Beach Flags.
“It feels amazing. I was a bit sore after the Aussies but I had a nice stretch and warmed up before the big run.
“I’m very happy and very proud. Everyone [came into today] feeling great, feeling prepared and we’ve really been training to compete here today,” said Bright.
Fellow West Australian Olly Brown of Trigg Island was thrilled to win his pet event in the Pathways Male Swim before going on to win the Male Ironperson.
“Swim is my favourite thing, it’s always nice to get a win in your favourite race.
“It always means a lot getting to race for your State. This is my first time at Kirra and I like it over here with the different breaks and the different waves to catch rather than just one big shore dump… I like the challenge,” he said.
South Australia’s Elsie Parsons from Glenelg SLSC backed up her gold medal from the Aussies, storming home for her State in first place in the U14 Female Beach Sprint.
“It feels good, it was a bit of a tough one. I’m a bit cooked after racing two days ago but it was good to be back out here with the girls. They are really good competition.
“I love seeing all the interstate competitors, it makes it fun seeing all these other girls from around the country.
“This is my second State team and it’s good to get around everyone from SA, it’s so much fun.
“I was lucky enough to pull through with a gold in the sprints from the Youth Championships… that was really exciting.”
Victoria’s Summer Morgan from Anglesea SLSC overtook NSW in the final run leg of the Pathways Female Ironperson to take home the silver medal.
“I had been watching the previous races and noticed there was a dip, so when you think it’s really shallow it’s actually not, so I just did a couple of extra strokes [on the board] to get through it and then just started running.
“We just love representing Victoria. We have trained all season and we just try really hard to get the best results we can.
“I love competing with my mates and every race is always so different because of the conditions so you just go out there and try your best,” she said.
Tasmania’s Freja Harris and Olya Mihal were happy to be part of the Pathways Interstate Championships on the Gold Coast and the opportunity to represent their State proudly.
Freja said: “This is really cool to represent Tasmania. I don’t think I ever thought I’d go this well in my sport and represent Tasmania. It’s a real confidence boost.
“I think it’s quite a privilege to be racing on the same beach as the Ironman and Ironwomen that have made the Iron Series and that are from places that don’t get much coverage like Tassie.”
Olya said: “It feels very crazy to be in the Tassie uniform, and to be able to meet all these people from across Australia.
“Being on different sand, competing on different beaches… it’s so hot here in Queensland compared to Tassie.
“Here at the Aussies it is so awesome to see everyone compete cause you don’t get to see that in Tassie.”
The Australian Surf Life Saving Championships are continuing on the Gold Coast with the Opens competition commencing tomorrow, Wednesday 2 April 2025 through until Sunday 6 April. For more details click here.

Surf Life Saving NSW – shared photographer Shane Abrahamson’s great captures – SLSNSW’s report:
Aussies Gold for Hungry NSW Stars
It was an extremely successful 2025 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships for NSW athletes with a gluttony of gold medals across the ages and two overall club point score victories marking a wonderful week for the Blues in North Kirra.
Hot on the heels of the NSW Championships which finished with a bang at Queenscliff beach just over three weeks ago, competitors made the trip across the border to the Gold Coast between March 29 and April 6, culminating in a bumper Opens program that saw legacies born and cemented for some of our best.
Swansea Belmont SLSC’s Katy Rees continues to go from strength to strength – she nearly ran the slate during Sunday’s finals package in the U17 water events, with wins in the Iron, Board and Swim and a tight second place finish in the Ski.
The Iron, in particular, showcased just how well some of the state’s best and brightest athletes are developing – Cudgen Headland SLSC’s Isabella Tate and Newport SLSC’s Pipi Te Pania ran second and third, while Wanda SLSC’s Charlotte Bowmer and Warilla Barrack Point SLSC’s Kyah Shipley crossed the line in fourth and sixth.
The U17 Male Iron was also a fantastic representation of NSW’s strength in surf sports, with Wanda’s Dane Sutton finishing ahead of North Curl Curl SLSC’s Sam Davis and Newport SLSC’s Noah Maggs to complete a sky-blue podium.
Jasmine Locke of Newport and Natalia Drobot of Avoca Beach SLSC raced an excellent Open Female Single Ski final, with line judge video footage required to separate the pair. The gold would eventually fall to Locke, a result perhaps easier to stomach for Drobot after she teamed up with Ella Beere to win the Open Double Ski earlier in the program.
In the Youth Championships, few results were bigger than Black Head SLSC’s win in the U15 Female Cameron Relay – the club’s first ever Youth Australian title.
Amaya Cross, Bronte Kippax, and Ash and Ella Pegrum – the latter managing a remarkable sprint up the beach to confirm the win – finished ahead of teams from Newport and Cudgen Headland.
North Bondi SLSC’s U13 competitor, Bart Carmody was one of three NSW winners in the Board Race – Manly LSC’s Henry Whitehead in the U15 Male and U13 Female, Sophie Maley from South Maroubra SLSC the others – while a pair of Billy’s – McCarthy from Avoca Beach and Holford from South Maroubra – won the U14 and U13 Male Swims.
On the beach, Coogee SLSC’s Marnie Laurence and South Maroubra’s Rory Muldowney won the U13 Female and U15 Male Sprints, while North Bondi’s Connor Colquhoun, Spencer Jordan-Booth, Jensen Lee and Joshua Raymond were quickest across the track in the U14 Male Relay.
North Bondi would be crowned the Youth Championships overall club point score winners, while Bondi SBLSC won an eighth consecutive Masters Championships title.
Newport Surf Life Saving Club said:
There has been many amazing performances. A fantastic 2nd place on the pointscore which on its own is a great result.
Even more impressive was the sporting way it was done.
Well done to all, and thanks to those that made it happen.

Congratulations Pinkies – Reserve Male Australian Champions!!
What an incredible achievement by this talented crew, Torin Calf, Shaun Wolthers, Lachie Mills, Tom Curnow and Sweep, Nathan Wellings in a nail-biting finish on the weekend!
Being the best is the result of years of training, commitment, and willingness to put in the hard slog. Early mornings, long hours, and an unwavering trust in each other on the water all contribute to magic moments like this.
Special mention to Sweep, Nathan Wellings. Nathan has been sweeping the Pinkies since the crew first formed almost 15 years ago. Your commitment to this team and our Club is truly exceptional. Fantastic to see you rewarded in the best possible way!
We also want to acknowledge Matt Mayall, one of the original members of the Pinkies, who had to sit out due to injury but has been an integral part of the crew’s success over the years. We know this victory is just as much yours as it is everyone’s.

Surf boat rowers share more than just training sessions—they form lifelong friendships and a deep commitment to one another and their Club. Through countless early mornings and many hours on the water, often in wild surf conditions, rowers develop a unique camaraderie, strengthened by shared adversity, which turns teammates into a second family.
Mentorship plays a pivotal role, and experienced rowers Pete Carter, Nathan Wellings and Matt Mayall, guide and support newcomers, just as they were guided as teenagers by the legendary Rick Millar. This passing of knowledge ensures that the values of surf boat rowing; commitment, determination and mateship, continue through to the next generation.
The surf boat ‘family’ extends to partners, children, and friends, all of whom play a crucial role in logistics, travel, and preparation. They are also the loudest, most supportive cheer squad at carnivals, always there to lift the crew's spirits and celebrate every moment. It’s an unpredictable sport and a win for one is a win for all. Just as the disappointment of a knockout is felt by everyone.
Our Surf Boat crews represented our Club magnificently at the Surf Life Saving Australian Championships and we’re so very proud of all their achievements:
- U23 Women (HCMF) Eliza Cutrie, Molly Baczkowski, Alice Binns, Ruby Hume (Top 16)
- Reserve Women (Chaos) Laura Baierl, Tegan Bilson, Lauren Peterson, Sophie Valentine (Fourth)
- Reserve Women (Dory) Tash Burke, Sophie Egden, Gem Eastwood, Ella Brady
- Open Women (The Ladies) Simone Polly, Bec Collins, Tara Neasmith, Sarah Haven
- Masters 160+ | Simone Polly, Bec Collins, Tori Robinson, Sarah Haven (First)
- Reserve Men (Pinkies) Torin Calf, Shaun Wolthers, Lachie Mills, Tom Curnow (First)

Special shout out to Club President, Bernadette McKay, who was also there to cheer them on and show her unwavering support.
Safe travels home.
Australian National Surf Life Saving Championships 2025 – Masters
MASTER THE SAND AND SURF… AUSSIES DAY THREE WRAP
Monday March 31, 2025 - report by SLSA
Day three of the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships at North Kirra delivered near perfect conditions as the ‘golden oldies’ masters competitors donned their club colours in a bid for national glory.
More than 7,000 competitors take part across nine days, with today and tomorrow to feature more than 1,700 masters clubbies aged 30 to over 80 years old.
New South Wales
Terrigal’s Paul Lemmon once again showed why he is considered the GOAT of masters competition, winning three gold medals today in the 55-59 male swim, ironman and board.
The triple gold medal haul takes his gold medal tally into the… he’s not quite sure. But it is “well over 100 gold medals.”
“It’s not about the wins; it’s about enjoying it.
“Very tricky, really testing conditions today. The race isn’t over till it’s over. It was very tight, testing everyone’s skills out.
“I don’t train as much as I used to, but I do this more as a mental health thing. The last six months I’ve had a few things going on in my personal life and when it comes down to it I like to train once a day if I can, just to clear the cobwebs and it’s a great way to start the day.
“I’ve lived on the Central Coast most of my life and I’m a school teacher and I’ve been involved in Surf Life Saving for almost 50 years now. It’s my passion, with all my friends and you get to meet up with the Aussies… social interaction is really important,” he said.
With two decades of racing under her belt, former Ironwoman sensation Tara Coleman from Sydney’s Maroubra SLSC, jagged two bronze medals on the opening day of masters competition in the board and surf races.
“I used to race in the Nutri-Grain Ironwoman Series for a few years. I had a few injuries, then I came back, then I had more injuries then I came back and started training again with my crew at Maroubra.
“We’ve got some kids down at the club there and I just want to inspire them a little bit so I thought why not come to Masters, watch my Marboura team mates and go in a few races.
“I wasn’t the fastest or the strongest throughout my career but I always would just have a go and I got that from my mum and dad,” she said.
Bondi’s Dori Miller has got her club, defending Aussies Masters Club champions, off to an incredible start winning her 14th consecutive surf race win.
Taking gold in the 50-54 year old female surf race, Miller left nothing in the tank.
“It was a hard race. I got swept pretty far down, had to swim back up and I did catch a wave on the way in but was pretty shattered,” she said.
Miller also teamed up with Julie Pritchard in the board rescue: “We got a gold medal in the board rescue… we won Worlds and Aussies so it has been a good year.”
BATTLE OF THE BAY I BONDI IN BOX SEAT FOR MASTERS CROWN AFTER TWO DAYS OF BIG RACING
Tuesday April 1, 2025 - report by SLSA
With the Masters program all but done, and just the surfing competition and ocean swim remaining, Bondi are once again in the box seat to win their eighth consecutive Aussies Masters Championships crown.
But the ‘Battle of the Bondi Bay’ is well and truly alive, as Bondi sit atop of the ladder on 245 points ahead of rivals North Bondi on 198 points.
Monday 31 March and Tuesday 1 April saw more than 1,700 Masters competitors aged 30 to 77 years old taking part in the ocean, beach and surf boat events.
While the competitors were keeping an eye on the results, it was more than the medals being won and lost that was keeping spirits alive. Club camaraderie and catching up with mates was the common theme right along the beach.
Leading the pointscore, Bondi club mates echoed the enthusiasm, the depth in their Masters ranks attracting a new wave of surf lifesavers including the likes of Lisa O’Donnell, who has only been racing for a couple of years.
She found her way into surf lifesaving through friends already involved in the sport, and with her swimming background that took her to state-level competitions, joined Bondi’s squad.
“It seemed like a no-brainer for me to join,” said O’Donnell. “It is something I really enjoy, the camaraderie of the club.”
Echoing her sentiments was Emily Gillies.
“I have been racing in Masters since I was 30,” said Gillies. Originally from New Zealand, she competed as a Junior up until the Opens before moving to Australia.
“I loved it; it was a huge part of my life growing up in New Zealand. When I got to Australia, I started racing Masters and haven’t looked back.”
Fellow NSW Club Stockton, secured a second place in the 150 Years Minimum Female Single Ski Relay.
The dynamic trio of Bonnie Danuser, Jo-Anne Dryden, and Kylie Whitbread represented Stockton with pride, demonstrating their skills in the event.
With each of them having competed in the Masters division for between 10 to 20 years, their experience was evident as they powered through the course.
“Our kids were in nippers, and that’s what initially brought us into the sport,” the team shared.
“But over time, we’ve found our own feet and now race for the love of it, the friendships, and the small community spirit of our club.”
The Northern Territory featured their only competitor for the whole Aussies, the first time the State has been represented in over five years.
Adam Traugott said with only three clubs in the State, the distance and the dramatic vastness of their season all contribute to the lower numbers from NT. But as the President of Surf Life Saving NT, he hopes this year will be the start of more to come.
“We don’t have a large competitive base to begin with, having to travel some of the largest distances combined with not being able to train for a large part of the year due to jellyfish and the risks of crocodiles… we’re at a bit of a disadvantage as we don’t have the best preparation.
“During the season, it’s always usually flat, so when we come to the Gold Coast and there is a bit of a wave, it’s not something we’re used to.
“To come here we can reconnect with old friends and compete against people we haven’t seen for a while. It’s great to be part of the bigger Surf Life Saving family,” he said.
Stockton’s Masters competitors are a tight-knit group, with only ten members competing, including just four female athletes.
Despite the small numbers, they continue to punch above their weight, delivering outstanding results on the national stage.
The camaraderie extends beyond their own team, with strong friendships formed with competitors from other clubs in their age group.
“That’s what makes it all worth it – the connections and the shared passion for the sport.”
Adding to the excitement of the championships, their coaches are also competing in the men’s arena. “They’re doing a legend job up there,” the team proudly acknowledged.
Amongst the sea of club caps were a few Olympians lining up and showing age is no barrier. Olympic kayaker Grant Kenny (Alexandra Headland) won his pet event the ski, Olympic rower Julia Bell (Manly) won the Ironwoman, Olympic swimmer Brooke Hanson-Clarke (Currumbin) won bronze in her swim, and Olympic slalom kayaker Robin Bell also lining up for Manly.
South Australia’s Seacliff Life Saving Club made waves at the Masters Competition, with Jacinta Day, Joanna Goulder, and Sarah Warriner delivering a standout performance in the 150-year Female Taplin Relay.
“It was an awesome ski paddle from Joanna, an epic long swim—massive—and Sarah finished with a great board paddle,” the team reflected.
The trio, who have been competing together for 10 years, found surf lifesaving later in life through their children rather than through the traditional nippers pathway.
Now, they aim to inspire the next generation.
“I think we inspire our kids to keep going,” they said. “We like to think that.”
Seacliff Life Saving Club had a strong presence at the event, with eight competitors in the Masters division and around 18 in the senior crew.
The club also brought a 12-member women’s March Past team and a small youth team, though no boats team competed this year.
Racing in these conditions proved different from their home waters in South Australia.
“It’s obviously different here with waves—it adds to the challenge,” they noted. “But it’s all a bit of fun and games.”
Sharon Taylor proudly claimed the gold medal for Tea Gardens Hawks Nest in the 55-59 yrs Female 2km Beach Run.
“It was really hard work,” she said. “There’s a lot of pressure because you really want to bring it home for them and they’re expecting it and so it’s a jolly relief to get the win.”
