SURF SPORTS EVENTS 2025/2026
SYDNEY WATER SURF SERIES
The Sydney Water Surf Series returns for 2025!
This news wouldn’t be possible without Sydney Water’s enduring support which gives lifesavers of all ages the chances to display their skills in the water and on the sand.
The “Double weekend” round allows Series athletes to compete in other major Surf Sports events early in the season. It also provides a multi-day race experience as used at State and Aussies.
Note: Senior beach competitors will complete both Rounds 3 and 4 on 6 December.
Thanks to Infront and Finz, all athletes will again have the opportunity of being rewarded with some great Series pointscore prizes.
