Carnivals

Carnival entries

The Club will pay carnival and championship entry fees for competitors provided they meet the competition eligibility requirements.

Non-attendance at a carnival that you have nominated for will mean that you will be charged the entry fee if you fail to attend. Reimbursement must be made before nominating at the next carnival. An exemption for extenuating circumstances will be determined by the Board of Surf Sports.

Competitors are responsible for their own entry fees for non-SLSA or non-ILS sanctioned events such as harbour ski races, ocean swims (except the Aussies Ocean Swim), or Coolangatta Gold.
