// Kiama Downs SLSC claim back-to-back Masters titles at Aussies 🏆💥

Battling the chilly mid-north coast winter, Kiama Downs SLSC have secured back-to-back Masters Championships at the 2025 SHARKSKIN Australian IRB Championships in South West Rocks. Their determination and teamwork powered them through an exciting afternoon of finals to claim the title once again.

NSW clubs also delivered strong performances across the board, with Caves Beach Surf Lifesaving Club finishing 4th in Opens and 3rd in Masters, alongside solid results from Queenscliff Surf Life Saving Club and Thirroul Surf Life Saving Club.

Congratulations to all competitors 🌟🌟 We look forward to returning to the beautiful South West Rocks in July 2026!

// Members from Minnie Water Wooli Surf Life Saving Club, Red Rock Corindi SLSC and Woolgoolga Surf Life Saving Club came together for three days of hands-on IRB Crew Award training over last weekend. The course was run by SLSNSW in partnership with North Coast Branch as part of the Priority Clubs Project, with two days held in Grafton and one day at Minnie Water Wooli SLSC.

This setup gave inland members from Grafton and surrounding areas the chance to complete their IRB Crew Certificates closer to home, without needing to travel to the coast for every session. It was great to see members from different clubs uniting, building skills, and getting out on the water together.

We’re proud to deliver this training as part of the Club Capability Program, helping strengthen volunteer capability and foster connected, resilient clubs across the North Coast.

// After a massive season of racing across the SHARKSKIN NSW Premiership Series and Championships, our teams are fired up for the next challenge ⚡️⚡️

All eyes now turn to South West Rocks, where the 2025 SHARKSKIN Australian and Interstate IRB Championships kick off next week.

The season might almost be over, but we still can't get enough. Check out more of the action from this year's NSW IRB racing!

// The versatility of our fleet of drones was on show today a long way from the surf, helping NSW Police Force with a mission in bushland in Sydney’s upper north shore.

By complete chance, an Australian UAV Service drone pilot was in Wahroonga conducting currency flying this morning when a search and rescue operation evolved right in front of them.

Our drone was quickly up in the air surveilling the area and played a huge role in helping police find the missing person, first during the search and later to relay important wayfinding information to crews on the ground.

A complete coincidence that turned into a fantastic result for all involved, with Police noting the importance of the drone being able to respond in different ways throughout the operation and how well it stood up under strong winds.

// We’ve crunched the numbers and we’re delighted to announce that SLSNSW has hit some enormous milestones in our volunteer membership.

It’s great to see so many volunteers in NSW focused on keeping our coastline safe.
