Every year, the awardee is nominated by the Surf Club, not on the basis of being the best surfer (he/she can be, though!) but to be an emerging leader of the Surf Life Saving Movement. Congratulations, Noah!
Photo shows Noah (second from right), with (l - r) Immediate Past President Andy Bell, Ray Higgs, and Pierre Trapper, Vice President of the Surfers Paradise SLSC. Watch this space - a photo album of the event will be published within the next couple of days.
