Surf Life Save Profile - Week 17

Published: February 08, 2023

Welcome Toby Andrews and thanks for sharing with us

 

So let’s get deep and meaningful straight up

Q – How long have you been in Coolum Surf Life Saving Club and what motivated you to volunteer your time?

10 Years.  I believe what motivated me to volunteer my time would be being on patrol with good people and the friendships I’ve made on Patrol 12

 

Q – Is your experience so far what you thought it would be?

When I first came into it, I didn’t know what to expect.  It has been great to learn new skills.

 

On a lighter side

Q – Where did you grow up? (Assuming you’ve grown up)

I was born here but not sure if I’ve grown up.  I love Coolum as a home town and hope to stick around.

 

Q – What’s the best job you’ve ever had?

Doing Aircon with Dad because I love spending time with him.

 

Q – Any nicknames?

Tobes, T, TJ, mate

 

Q – Any Hobbies?

I have been surfing for as long as I can remember.  I also love camping and 4WD driving however it is getting expensive.

 

Q – Favourite Music/Musician/Band

DNB & Techno.  Sticky Fingers, Bootleg Rascal and there’s heaps more I listen to.  Pretty much anything that sounds good around a campfire with a beer.

 

Q – Can you cook and what’s your favourite dish to prepare?

I can cook really good 2 minute noodles but my favourite dish to prepare would be a 50/50 between steak and spaghetti.

 

Q – Final & Life defining Question…. Pineapple on Pizza, Yes or No??

It’s a firm No.  I actually don’t really like Pizza at all.

 

Thank you Toby, that is a classic mate – really hope your dad reads this. You are a legend

 

If you’d like to share your story here with your mates, please contact your member officer - we’d all luv to hear it. Cheers

Support Coolum Surf Club

Not ready to become part of Coolum Surf Club but still want to help?

It takes a lot of money to run a surf lifesaving club; from the equipment needed on the beach (vehicles, boards, IRBs, first aid kits, defibrillators etc) to administration and training to facilitate patrolling.

So if you can't join us, support us through one of the following options.

Coolum Beach SLSC Nippers

Does your child want to become a Nipper?

Looking for a fun summer sport where your kids will learn essential surf safety skills, gain confidence in the ocean, and meet new friends?

Coolum Nippers is the answer! Nippers run from the September school holidays to February/March and is open to kids from 5 to 12 yrs.

Not only will they learn surf safety and what surf lifesaving is all about, but also have the opportunity to compete in carnivals and have mid-week training to improve their skills.
