14 Ayr Surf Club nippers have descended to Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast this week for the SLSQ Youth State Championships, with competition commencing on Thursday 19 February and going through until Sunday 22nd.
From iconic surf and beach races to team events and relays, it’s the ultimate celebration of surf sport and lifesaving skill on one of Queensland’s most beautiful beaches. With last year's event cancelled due to Cyclone Alfred the kids are all excited to get to put their hard work and training to the test this year.
Zachary Dale, Briella Wassmuth, Warne McShane, Cole Pontifex, Milla Chapman, Emma Jones, Emilee Wassmuth, Charlotte Lawry, Alyssa Irvine, Luca Lawry, Charlotte Dale, Taylor Chapman, Audrey Rickards & Mahli McShane will compete as part of the North Barrier Branch Youth State Team along with fellow members from across our region under the NBB white & blue cap.
All the action kicks off with R&R events and long beach runs and progresses over the next few days with individual and team events and concludes on Sunday with March Past and finals. Some of the action will be live-streamed and you can watch it on the Surf Life Saving Queensland Facebook page.
