The countdown is on for the 2013 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships to be shared this year between Gold Coast host clubs North Kirra and Tugun from April 15th to 21st.

Entries are now open for "The Aussies 2013” with organisers and competitors alike excited about the switch to the neighbouring Point Danger Branch Clubs – both steeped in traditions of Queensland Surf Lifesaving - North Kirra who started patrols in 1949 and Tugun, who have been going strong since 1925.
