Nippers

The future of Sunshine Beach Surf Club!

Sunshine Beach SLSC strives to be at the forefront in the development of our future lifesavers through it’s Junior Activities Program.

The program first began in 1994 and has now developed into one of the most successful and recognised junior sporting programs in Queensland. From our Club Sundays to the surf sports arena we aim to provide our young lifesavers with confidence, knowledge and skills in a fun and enjoyable environment, whilst promoting fair play, teamwork and a healthy active lifestyle.

The high standards achieved by our Nippers can be attributed to their level of commitment along with the many talents of our very energetic age managers, coaches, parents and supporters.
