First in action are the country’s juniors, with the Youth Surf Life Saving Championships running across Friday and Saturday.
There’ll be plenty of rising stars on show, with Alexandra Headland lifesaver Eliza Parish among the best. See below for more Queensland stars to watch.
Surf Life Saving Queensland sport manager Stuart Hogben said Parish performed well at the state championships and would be set to benefit from a home beach advantage this week.
He said she had quality teammates and coaches to guide her too.
“Jack Hansen is probably one of the better coaches that we've seen coming through the state,” Hogben said.
