Surf Sports
Competition with purpose.
Surf Sports showcase the skills and physical abilities required to save a life. Unlike any other sporting code in the world, the intent of our competition is to aid in developing the skills necessary to carry out Surf Life Saving’s core purpose - saving lives.
Throughout the year, Surf Life Saving SA members of all ages put their life saving skills to the test in a competitive sporting environment. They have the opportunity to compete at a club, state and national level in a range of disciplines including Ironman, lifesaving, surfboats, pool rescue and IRB racing.
