2025 WILL BE OUR 10th SEASON OF THE ALL FEMALE SURF SPORTS CLINICS

Special thanks to Chris and Macquarie Sports for backing Hydrothon for what will be our 10th season of delivering the only all female surf sports clinic in Australia during 2025.

We have two great locations locked in and will share those with you soon.

Big thank you to the 22 clubs that have hosted the clinics since 2016 and all the mentors, girls, volunteers that have made this an amazing avenue to inspire young girls to continue their journey in surf sports and the life saving community.

We are about to start our clinic way up here at Port Douglas Surf Life Saving Club.

The support from the Branch, clubs and members has been amazing.

It all kicks off tonight with our welcome dinner.

This is how excited we are to welcome with .doyle and to our club tomorrow!

Being a remote club about 1,800km away from the Surf Life Saving capital of Australia, we don’t often get visits from amazing and inspiring athletes.

A massive thank you to and for making this clinic happen on Four Mile Beach!

We will also welcome athletes from and to our beach, which makes for a great opportunity for kids from all of these clubs to get to know each other. Friendships for life is what it’s all about 🫶

If you’re keen to see the action, come to the beach tomorrow (Sunday 7 July) between 9am - 1pm 🤩

Now first dinner at for some much needed nutrition so we can be our best tomorrow 🏄‍♀️

PS. If you’re registered for the clinic, you are invited to join dinner for free tonight. Parents and other siblings/friends will pay for their own dinner. If you’ve missed the RSVP survey for dinner, don’t stress, we’d love to see you tonight!

Was sorry to read that the 43year association with Nutri Grain as a key partner of the professional surf sports racing is over.

Some years back I was contracted to help with some commercial sponsorships for the series. I approached the Sutherland Shire council and gained their support to bring the sport back to a Sydney beach for the first time in many years.

When meeting with the then Mayor I vividly recall him saying…

“I don’t know much about surf lifesaving other than two things, Grant Kenny and the Nutri Grain Series”. It is the Formula 1 sport we can afford and we want it.”

has been a big supporter of Hydrothon going way back to our racing days.

A young and her mates would travel to all our events to compete.

For this reason and due to ongoing requests, we are looking forward to repaying their support by bringing the All Female Surf Sports Clinic to their beautiful beach later this year.

Open to girls from U9-U15, there is no doubt it will sell out quickly.

And yes, Bella will be mentoring back at her home club.

See you soon Cooks!
