51 Young Legends, 4 Epic Days, 1 Unforgettable Event

27 Feb

Oceans ’25 at Mount Main Beach was spectacular! 51 of our juniors joined 700+ competitors for four days of sun, surf, and racing at the the 2025 Oceans Festival of Junior Surf. Our team dominated, winning more medals than any other club, including 14 golds! The atmosphere was electric, with music, cheering, and epic performances.Huge thanks to our coaches Jack Bullock and Jake Cowdrey, volunteers, and supporters.

Special shoutout to clubbie Kate Magill and Jamie Troughton for capturing the magic.
