Avoca Beach took their gold medal tally to three with a stirring victory in the popular Lifesaver Relay.

 slsa logo 2014Surf Life Saving Australia, April 17, 2015: The team of 15-year-old Bean Jeffries (board), 19-year-old Brad McCloughry (swim), 19-year-old Bianca Mould (sprint), 26-year-old four-time Australian single ski winner Lachlan Tame (ski) and their Under 19 boat crew hung on for a thrilling victory.

They pulled out all stops to hang on after local club Currumbin stormed home with emerging ski paddler Joel McKitterick joining Tame on the final wave before the experienced Tame tagged Mould first to give her enough breathing space to hold off the fast finishing Viking Matt Currie.

Earlier Currumbin board paddler Josh Clouston gave Jackson Maynard a slight lead going into the swim before McCloughry found a wave which Maynard also hopped on.

Tame blasted through the break and opened up a handy lead before McKitterick found a wave to join the champ for the paddle home.

The Vikings, second to Alexandra Headland last year took the silver with Northcliffe the bronze.
