Byron Bay Competitors made a total of 73 finals for the 2015 Aussie Championships held at North Kirra. There were 311 Surf Clubs represented, 7000 competitors over the course of 9 days. This year Surf Lifesaving Australia was celebrating 100 years of competition.

Byron Bay had 23 Open competitors, 28 Masters Competitors and 7 Youth competitors entered.  Byron Bay Opens finished 21st on the Open overall point score and Byron Bay Masters finished 11st on the Masters overall point score, these are fantastic results for a Country Club.

Josh Brown from our club was chosen out of the 7,000 athletes competing to read the Athletes Oath on their behalf. Josh was very proud to have been asked, especially this being the Centenary year.

A big thank you to our club coaches Gary Timperley, Glen Lawrence, Paul Irwin and Bob Manitta for all your hours of hard work over the season.  Thank you to Max Tutt, Max Abbott, Maryanne and Mark Sewell and Dan Andrews for all you expertise. Also as special thanks to Al Simpson from Lennox Aquatic, the early morning training sessions definitely paid off.

All our competitors are to be congratulated on their performances and conduct during the carnival, you all should be very proud.
