Coolangatta Surf Life Saving Club is incredibly proud to announce that Life Member Michael “Coinsy” Mahon was recently recognised by Surf Life Saving Queensland, with the new State Operations & Communications Centre room named in his honour.
Joining Coolangatta Surf Life Saving Club in 1974, Coinsy has dedicated more than 50 years to operational lifesaving — from patrols on our beaches to radio operations, command, coordination, and mentoring generations of volunteers. His foundational role in SurfCom and communications helped shape the way lifesaving operates today.
This recognition reflects a lifetime of service, reliability, and quiet leadership. We couldn’t be prouder to see Coinsy’s legacy honoured in this way.
👏 Congratulations and thank you, Coinsy, from everyone at Coolangatta SLSC 👏
