About
Southbourne Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1986 and in the early years was commonly referred to as Southbourne Surf. Our initially small membership has grown steadily over the years and can now boast more than 130 members from age 7 to 65+. Our new purpose built club house was opened in 2016 and is located at the bottom of St Catherine’s path on the promenade near to Bistro on the Beach.
We work closely with RNLI Lifeguards and the Coastguard (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) to keep our community safe by providing coastal surveillance and using our Inshore Rescue Boat, rescue boards, and surf skis. We have supported a number of local events over the years by providing safety cover, in and out of the sea, including seafront marathons and triathlons, the Bournemouth Air Festival and the Macmillan Caring Locally annual Christmas Dip.
We are a registered charity entirely funded by membership fees, donations and grants, which we use to buy and upgrade our rescue and training equipment and first aid kits.
Southbourne Surf Life Saving Club is affiliated with Surf Life Saving GB (SLSGB), our governing body.
You can find out more about the history of Surf Life Saving in the UK here https://www.slsgb.org.uk/about-us/our-history/.
Our Trustees are Bill Ezekiel, Lindsey Scott, Gwyn Scott and Philip (Sponge) Younger.
A committee is responsible for the general running of the club. The club AGM is open to all members and parents/guardians of our u18 members.
