Rowing – First Sprint Regatta
On Sunday 21 April, our 48 rowers participated in their first Regatta for the 2024 local season. We were excited for this regatta as it was the first time we have ever done a sprint regatta. All rowers only had to race 500m. The goal of having the shorter races for the first regatta was to help support new rowers. Despite a wet start, the weather didn’t disappoint and turned into a nice day with a tail wind that helped rowers down the course.
Our rowers did oarsome with all rowers finishing with a 1st , 2nd , or 3rd but as this is a lead up regatta, places weren’t awarded. Overall, we had 21 crews & rowers cross in 1st place, 19 in 2nd place & 10 in 3rd place.
The exciting part of the day was seeing our 23 new rowers crossing the finish line in in their first ever regatta. All rowers put in a great effort and gained valuable race experience for the next Regatta to be held on 19 May.
A big THANK-YOU to all the parents and coaches that helped out on the day. We had parents on the water in safety boats, helping in the canteen, handing our bow numbers, in the judge’s tower, boat loading, towing trailers. The day would not have been a success without your assistance. Thank you to our sponsors as well that financial support our team uniform.
Keep being oarsome

Australian Surf Lifesaving Championships
Kobi H had a long but successful campaign at the 2024 Australian SLS Championships, which were held on the Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore).
Kobi was due to compete in 11 events, which included a combination of individual and teams/relay races - unfortunately two of these events were not conducted due to conditions and timetabling issues (U17 Male Surf Belt Race and U19 Male Rescue Tube Rescue Race).
Kobi raced in the U17 Male individual events, which had 250+ competitors in the age division, meaning there were Heats (R1), Heats (R2), Quarter Finals, and Semi Finals held before even making a final. He also competed in U17 and U19 Male Team events, and one Open Team event.
From his 9 events that he raced in, he managed to go 'around the cans' an incredible 29 times over the course of competition, and qualified through to 5 Australian Championships' FINALS, with his results being:
Open Lifesaver Relay - GOLD Medal (1st)
U17 Male Surf Race - 6th
U19 Male Board Rescue - 8th
U17 Male Surf Teams - 8th
U17 Male Board Relay - 10th
U17 Ironman - Semi Final
U17 Male Board Race - Semi Final
U17 Male Taplin Relay - Semi Final
Congratulations Koby.
Kobi has also been announced that he will be a reserve for the Australian Youth Lifesaving Team to compete at the 2024 World Lifesaving Championships later this year. Well done and all the best.
