Wanda finished 5th overall at The Aussies – the best placed NSW club – a stunning result.
“We couldn’t be prouder,” said Mark Sargeant, President Wanda SLSC. “It’s been a real team effort this season – competitors, coaches, volunteers, supporters and families.”
“Our competitors absolutely rose to the occasion – performed at their best, against Australia’s surf sports best.
“We crowned Australian champions, had many Silver and Bronze medalists and Top 6 finishes. Over and above this, we had competitors and teams in the water, boats, R&R, march past and beach events over the entire 9 day competition give their absolute best and do our club proud.”
At this year’s event, Wanda club Patron Ernest ‘Solly’ Stephens OAM was honoured by SLSA for 67 years of officiating at Aussies, the longest serving official in event history.
