Western Australia has a strong history and track record of producing outstanding surf sports athletes.

Our state is home to many present day and former sporting champions who have honed their skills at our local surf clubs and gone on to dominate surf sports at a state, national and international level.

The Surf Life Saving WA Sporting Hall of Fame recognises these outstanding athletes and their exceptional efforts and welcomes deserving new inductees each year at the Surf Life Saving WA Awards of Excellence.
