THE surf patrol season is off to a racing start with more than 170 nippers signing on for the Sunshine Beach Surf Club program.
The two-day sign-on was held at the Noosa Aquatic Centre with children as young as six-years-old up to 14-years signing on for the 2015 season.
Over 50 new Nippers joined the team as the new recruits excelled in the pool proficiency swims.
To celebrate the new season, Sunshine Beach Surf Club held a family fun day at the Apex camp in Mudjimba, on Sunday.
Nippers and their families enjoyed an action-packed day of rock climbing, rope courses, team building games and the very popular mud run.
