Young lifesavers paddle out on new Australind Heights-Twin Rivers boards

The recent delivery of two new racing boards could give young Bunbury surf life savers the edge when they compete at the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships at Scarborough Beach (17-22 March 2009).

Australind Heights-Twin Rivers estate has provided the City of Bunbury Surf Life Saving Club with $3,000 in sponsorship to purchase the new under-14 senior racing boards.

The boards will be used by members to develop their surf board rescue and life saving skills, and at competitions throughout the State.

It’s the second community sponsorship given by the estate. Last month, Leschenault Cricket Club received $3,000 to purchase new training and travelling shirts for junior members and to help subsidise player’s costs for the Peel Junior Cricket Carnival.

Australind Heights-Twin Rivers is a 126-lot estate managed by Peet Limited on behalf of the Marist Brothers.

Peet Limited Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Brendan Gore, said the project team working on the estate was proud to be supporting the Club’s members, who provided an important community service.

“The City of Bunbury Surf Life Saving Club assists hundreds of local people and tourists who get into trouble on the beach or in the water each summer,” Mr Gore said.

“The Club also has a proud competitive history and we are delighted to be able to supply these boards and help members perform at their peak at the upcoming national titles.

“This sponsorship is all about our development helping to support the local community.”

City of Bunbury Surf Life Saving Club President, Peter Duncan, said the support from Australind Heights-Twin Rivers estate would help the Club continue to develop.

“These boards really are the latest and the best in terms of life saving equipment and will help us to encourage young people to get involved in providing surf life saving services on our beaches,” Mr Duncan said.

“It is vital that we continue to develop, engage and retain our young members. Training and competing on these boards will help them develop invaluable life saving and competition skills, and enable us to provide our community with the most skilled and capable life savers that our region has to offer.”
