8 Man Classic

This competition is very unique as it is a random-draw format, contested over 13 highly specialised events. Competitors do not know which events they have been entered into, which is sure to make for some very interesting viewing in classic Llandudno conditions.

Rescue Classic

Rescue Classic is an annual surf lifesaving competition held in the amphitheater of Llandudno beach. It is a competition that was designed to test and show the abilities of our lifeguards to not only perform rescues but see which club is ultimately the best club at doing so, it is a true test of skill and technique within the cold water and unpredictable surf of Llandudno.
