Surf Sports
Our competitors did a fantastic job at the Sarina Classic on Saturday – the first local carnival of the season – with Eimeo taking out Champion Club! It was wonderful to see so many familiar and new faces representing us, and the calm, flat conditions made it the perfect start to the season.
A huge thank you goes to our officials, water safety team, and age managers. Without these roles, our kids simply couldn’t compete. For every 7 competitors, we must provide at least 1 official. At upcoming carnivals, we’d love to see some new faces stepping into these positions.
Becoming an official is a great way to get involved – there are no sporting requirements, and it’s the perfect entry point to learn more about surf sports. At the moment, many of our officials also cover other responsibilities like IRB and water safety, so extra help would make a real difference.
If you’re interested in finding out more, please chat with Ross.
Nominations are now open for the next carnival on 20–21 September at Arcadia, Magnetic Island. Nominate: https://clothing-at-eimeo-slsc.square.site/carnivals
This carnival is always a favourite thanks to the relaxed island vibes – and it’s the perfect way to kick off the school holidays. Don’t miss out!
24 Hour Row | 13–14 September
Led by Lauren again this year—our goal is to raise over $3K (and maybe win a new board!).
💡 How you can help:
- Donate raffle prizes 🎁
- Take a rowing slot 🛶
- Donate here: Eimeo Surf Life Saving Club - Gotcha4Life 24 Hour Row 2025
Lauren would love to hear from you:(email Lauren: surfsports@eimeoslsc.com.au)

Remember: From our next Nippers Day (7 September), if a child’s name isn’t showing during the online sign-on, their guardian will be directed to our Administrator to finalise membership before joining in. Please complete this ahead of time so the kids don’t miss out on a great Sunday!
