Vroom vroom… IRB Racing is back at Sorrento

The high-octane world of IRB racing has officially returned to Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club.

Since November, the team has been training twice a week, with last weekend marking their first carnival of the season at Coogee. With all but two members in their first year of IRB racing, it was a strong opportunity to test themselves against clubs with more than a decade of experience.

The focus so far has been on building solid technique, with speed to come. Based on performances at Coogee, the foundations are firmly in place.

It was an outstanding day of racing, with tight contests across all events - often with less than a boat length separating first and last. Despite their inexperience, Sorrento’s crews performed with composure, progressing through to semi-finals and finals across the board.

A special mention goes to Damo, Freddie and Dylan, who secured second place in the Open Male Single Rescue. An impressive result for two 16–17 year olds in their first season, finishing strongly with Damo charging up the beach in full stride.

The club extends its thanks to the families who travelled to support the team, and to Ian for fulfilling official duties on the day.

The next carnival will be held at Quinns on 3 May. Spectators are encouraged to come along and support the team - a great opportunity to enjoy the action ahead of Mother’s Day.

Training continues this Saturday at 7am following the Dawn Service. Members interested in IRB racing or keen to have a go are encouraged to come down and join the group just north of the second groin - they will be easy to find. ... See MoreSee Less
