Conditions were ideal for the Endurance Championships at Ocean Beach with a calm ocean and great weather throughout the event. For many, this was the first event of the season and provided athletes from all over NSW with a personal challenge as well as an opportunity to test their fitness in their chosen discipline against the leading competitors in NSW from U15s to over 50s.

This year the Championships attracted a record number of participants with over 400 entries received. The event was well supported by the masters competitors and also attracted some of Australia’s leading ironman and women, including Kellogg’s Nutri-grain competitors Tom Atkinson, Trent Martin, Tara Coleman and Amy Nurthen.

Open competitor Nathan Gray (Lennox Head) was biting at the heels of Nutri-grain competitors Tom Atkinson and Trent Martin, placing third in the Open Ironman and second in the Open Board. Josh Brown (Byron Bay) also looks to have retained his top form from last season, taking out the U15 Male Board and coming second in the Ironman.

In the first event of the day, the Open Male Surf Boat race only one second separated the North Cronulla crew and Austinmer crew as they crossed the line in first and second place, and the close races continued throughout the event.

Amy Nurthen (Terrigal) was victorious in the women’s Ironwoman event beating Tara Coleman (Maroubra) in a sprint to the finish, while in the men’s Ironman event, Tom Atkinson (Queenscliff) started his year well, winning the event ahead of Trent Martin (Avoca) in second place.

On the back of her Coolangatta Gold fourth placing, masters competitor Melinda Cockshutt (Port Macquarie) was a standout on the day, winning the Board, Beach Run and Ironwoman events in the 30-39 age group. Laura Thurtell (Forster) was another top performer on the day, winning the Surf Race and Ironwoman in the 40-49 age group.

Newport competitor Max Brooks won the U17 Male Ski and Ironman convincingly, while his team mate Fletcher Davies took out the U17 Male Board. Manly’s Cooper Krenkels also won the U15 Ironman, came second in the Surf Race, and third in the Board race.

Stewart McLachlan from Redhead also had a good day taking out the Open Male Board race and placing second in the Surf race. Also flying the flag for the Hunter Branch was Danielle Radford (Swansea Belmont) who placed second in the Open Female Ski and third in the Ironwoman.

Other notable performances included Lara Moses (North Cronulla) who won the U17 Ironwoman and came second in the Board race. Jake Little (Cronulla) won the Open Male Surf Race, sisters Alanna and Shivaun Street (Cronulla) took out the U19 and U17 Surf races respectively, and Sam Fowler (Cronulla) won the U15 Male Surf Race, came second in the Board race and fourth in the Ironman.

Australian and State gold medalist Josh Brown (Byron Bay), Murray Thomas (Lennox Head) and Ela Heiniger (Byron Bay) have been selected to participate in the High Performance program.
 
The High Performance program will act as a train on squad for the NSW Interstate Team and assist the NSW Interstate athletes and their coaches win back the prestigious Interstate Title from the Queenslanders.

“This is the highest quality squad we have had, almost every person medaled at State or Aussies last season. We received over 180 nominations for the squad and of that 53 have been selected. This squad of 53 will have be to trimmed down to 28 for the NSW team, so these guys will be training hard for the chance to wear the sky blue of NSW and bring home the gold,” said Chris Parker, SLSNSW Surf Sports Manager.

The camp will also provide elite NSW athletes with the development pathway in order to be selected in the Surf Life Saving Australia High Performance Team.

“It forms a vital pathway from club through to the elite level of competition giving competitors the skills and experience required to perform on a national level,” said Parker.

The High Performance Program will be led by Head Coach and NSW State Coach Jeff Mowbray and NSW State Assistant Coach Scott Jones.

The athletes will take part in a variety of physical training sessions in surf, beach and pool rescue disciplines as well as relevant theory sessions conducted by leading industry professionals in the field of sports performance. The team will also compete in Round 1 of the Sydney Water Series.

The Talented Athlete Program exposes NSW’s leading U13-15 athletes from throughout NSW to the beginning of the Surf Life Saving NSW High Performance pathway.

Athletes who have been previously involved in this program have gone on to be selected in the NSW team and win Australian gold medals.

Far North Coast Ironman Josh Brown found the program very useful.

“The last few days has given me a greater understanding of the surf better, I learnt more about sport psychology and have met new friends. I have got a lot out of it,” he said.

Chris Parker, Surf Life Saving NSW Surf Sports Manager, said the program is important to ensure the future of Surf Sports in NSW.

“By educating these gifted junior athletes in best-practice sports science and training techniques, it will assist them in achieving their full potential as athletes,” Chris said.

“The quality of the junior athletes involved in this year’s program is the strongest to date. The future of surf sports in NSW is looking very bright, which is very exciting.” 

All eleven Branches from NSW were represented in this year’s program. Athletes travelled from as far north as Byron Bay and as far south as Tathra.

Forty-two competitors were selected to participate in the three-day program at the Sydney Academy of Sport, from over 160 nominations received. Eight elite coaches from throughout NSW worked with the squad in their chosen disciplines.

The action-packed program is supported by NSW Sport and Recreation – SLSNSW State coaches took the squad through surf sports specific training aimed at developing skills, technique and building the athletes’ understanding of the physical training required to reach their goals in surf sports competition.

The Sydney Academy of Sport educated the participants on performance-enhancing theory including sports nutrition, sports psychology and goal setting.

Northern NSW Country sides are made up of players from Northern NSW Football’s four Northern zones: Mid North Coast, North Coast, Far North Coast and Northern Inland, with Metropolitan players originating from the three Southern zones: Hunter Valley, Macquarie and Newcastle.

The 13 Boys sides both suffered defeat, with Northern NSW Country going down 2-0 to Tasmania and Northern NSW Metropolitan receiving a 6-0 beating from Queensland Metropolitan.

However, the Under 14 sides faired better than their younger Northern NSW counterparts. Northern NSW Metropolitan found themselves a goal down early in the second half, before Alex Tserapas retaliated just one minute later to equalise the score at 1-1 where it remained until full-time.

The Northern NSW Country Under 14 side was the only Northern side to claim victory on Day 1 of the Championships, holding on to defeat Tasmania 3-2. 1-0 behind after 14 minutes, a goal from Quinlan Cox and a brace courtesy of Sheldon O’Loughlan put the team 3-1 ahead at half-time. Tasmania scored the only second half goal, but were unable to equalise, leaving Northern NSW Country the winners.
