Wooli Wipeouts
Who are we?
Woolamai Wipeouts is a Female Development initiative which provides a supportive network in the form of a social surf group. This group was created and is run by females and aims to provide a safe space. It is tailored towards female identifying members, however, is inclusive of all genders, sex and age.
What is it?
We are focussed on creating an empowering, social and fun environment for members to continue to improve their skills within the water, through organizing group surfing sessions and occasional rescue board training.
A note on the sessions:
1. Surfing
We are a supportive group which can help boost members confidence in the water through simulating the required skill sets needed for rescue boards through surfing.
We are not providing instructional surfing lessons (unless otherwise stated) or water-safety management for these sessions.
2. Rescue-Board Development
Throughout the season, there will be a few rescue board development sessions run through WBSLSC. To attend these sessions, it will be a requirement that you are a member of Woolamai Beach SLSC. Water confidence and skill-development provided by the surfing sessions will boost your enthusiasm and knowledge about rescues in a variety of surf conditions.
Our Overall Goals:
To build the capacity of our female membership and see a stronger representation in key roles, we want to provide our club's female surfing group, the Wooli Wipeouts, with a leadership and coaching program. This would comprise a facilitated workshop session and inspirational female speakers.
To instil confidence in females within the surf club, through promoting leadership roles and working on skills like surfing and board awareness, whilst giving them the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals.
2022/23 Season Goals:
Creating an effective and sustainable leadership structure to grow the initiative through a tiered management system
