Surf Life Saving Central Coast has appointed Hayden Smith of Terrigal Surf Life Saving Club for a two-year term as the Director of Surf Sports on its Board.
He comes to the Board with 35 years’ experience in surf lifesaving and a rich family history in the movement, with his father Paul being a Surf Life Saving Association Hall of Fame inductee.
Smith has won 24 Australian championship gold medals and has a thorough understanding of the sport at all levels.
“The professionalism, expertise and knowledge that Hayden has is sure to make a lasting impact on Surf Life Saving Central Coast (SLSCC) for many years and we look forward to working with him,” a spokesperson said.
“SLSCC would also like to thank the outgoing Director of Surf Sports, Emma Benson.
“Emma has shown enthusiasm, perseverance and creativity in building the surf sports portfolio over the past two years and is largely responsible for the strong position we stand in today, including the introduction of the SLSCC Infront Surf Slam which has seen statewide elite level competition return to the Central Coast.”
Returning to the Board for a further two-year term are Matt Slattery of North Avoca SLSC as Branch President and Paul Duignan of Copacabana SLSC as Director of Education.
