International Women's Day 2026

Members of our Club celebrated IWD in March and were privileged to hear from local, and former World and Australian Ironwoman Champion, Kerri Thomas. Kerri was a pioneer in changing the landscape for women in surf sports. From when she started as a Nipper at the local Dicky Beach Surf Club and competed as the only girl among the boys, Kerri has been determined to compete at her best, despite the inequalities she faced.

Her love of the ocean, surf sports, and the support of friends and family, helped her to win many firsts. Kerri won back-to-back Australian Ironwomen titles in 1998, and again in 1999, when it included board, swim and ski, for the first time. Kerri was also the first female to be named captain of a regional team on the Sunshine Coast.

Kerri advocated for a level playing field in surf life saving competitions. In the 1990s, as a 10 year old member of the Dicky Beach Surf Club, she competed against 39 boys to make the competition team. She was the first girl to make the team.

When Kerri began competing, races that are available today, didn’t exist. The sport was dominated by the boys and many events were not available to the girls. Today, rather than one or two female competitors, clubs compete with women life saving teams, and support diversity, equity and inclusion.

Kerri continues to work with surf life saving, educating the younger generation in the skills required to save lives and hone those skills through competition.
