Surfers paradise Surf Lifesaving Club
Local Heros Saving Lives since 1925
From the book “The Story of a Surf Club” by the Late Peter Lacey
Precise details as to the actual establishment of the club have been difficult to obtain. Our earliest association was with the Royal Life Saving Society, as was the case with all clubs formed before 1930 in Queensland. In fact, this still water body decided to place a reel on the beach in 1921 for the safety of bathers in the area. However, very few people surfed at Surfers Paradise in those days and with only a dirt track between Main Beach and our location this was to be expected.
