Aussies 2026 Results

Aussies 2026 are officially over with 137 Coogee athletes competed for 9 hard days of competition between Saturday 21st to Sunday 29th March over North Kirra, Bilinga and Tugun beaches on the Gold Coast. 

​316 Surf Clubs come together to compete, providing more than 7000 competitors in more than 550 beach and ocean events, that saw Coogee walk away with a sensational 33 medals – 14 Gold, 9 Silver & 10 Bronze.
Our competitors were presented with every type of conditions with heat, wind, cold, rain and surf that was constantly changing to levels that saw events moved beaches and/or held over for 2 days due to safety concerns.
Highlights would have to be:

• Coogee R&R Team taking out 4 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze medals, 2 x 4th places and crowned no. 1 Club in Australia (again) enabling us to retain the Ron Sandstrom Trophy
• Coogee Surfing Team won 6 medals and crowned no. 3 Club in Australia
• Beach team won 4 gold, 1 silver, 4 bronze medals – 3 individual and 5 team finalists
• Youth Water Team coached by Cam Habler won 1 gold and 2 silver medals and competed in 20 finals across all disciplines - amazingly every member made a final!
• The Boats took away 9 x Crews (entered into 10 events), won a Bronze in Masters women and made it out of rounds for 7 of the other crews including 2 x u23 Female, U19 Female, Open Female and Reserve Men all making it to the Semi finals
