Here are the final standings for the 2025-26 RCVRI Sydney Surf Boat Series!
Across our coastline, Surf Life Saving Sydney continues to adapt and evolve in response to emerging challenges, embracing diversity and inclusion as central strengths. Our members not only save lives but also educate, connect, and protect our communities, by the community, for the community, and that is something we are deeply proud of.
Surf Life Saving Sydney respects and acknowledges the traditional custodians across all the lands on which we live, work and patrol, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Background Image credit: 'Eora Dreaming' depicts the community of the fifteen Surf Life Saving Clubs throughout Sydney, stretching from North Bondi south to Burning Palms in the Royal National Park - Artist 'Billy Reynolds', proud Dharawal and Yuin man.
Our local boaties get the chance to come together and show who’s best out on the water.
The RCVRI Sydney Surfboat Series is held over 4 weekends and brings together the best of our boaties from across our Surf Lifesaving Clubs. Have a look at each of the events below and get your crew together for good times.
