"IRB racing is not only a thrilling spectator sport, particularly in the surf, but facing a range of conditions like those at Lorne is also great practice for our athletes, who are the same lifesavers you see on patrol across the state during the summer. The IRB is known as 'the workhorse' of lifesaving rescue equipment, used for rescue, retrieval and surveillance, and were used for 142 rescues during the 2021-22 Victorian patrol season." Mr Green said. "Congratulations to all competitors on an excellent two days of competition and an enormous thank you to our volunteers who officiated, judged and managed the event, as well as Lorne SLSC for being our host club. It might be the end of the Victorian IRB racing season for 2022, but our teams can't wait to head to the Australian IRB Championships at Mollymook SLSC in New South Wales in late July!" Mr Green said. The Australian IRB Championships will be held from 21-24 July. ResultsOpen men's rescue1st: Barwon Heads 13th Beach SLSC (Thomas Lenehan, Kieran Spanner, Stephanie Dimitrio)
