From North Shore to the world stage — let’s get behind Stella Green. 🇦🇺 fund-raising campaign.
North Shore Boardriders member Stella Green has earned the opportunity to represent Australia as part of the 2026 Irukandjis Junior Team at the ISA World Junior Surfing Championship in El Salvador this September.
She will join 11 of Australia’s best young surfers as the Irukandjis chase a third consecutive Team Gold Medal on the world stage.
For Stella, this opportunity is the result of years of early mornings, training, travel, competition and commitment.
She began her journey as a young surfer coming through North Shore Boardriders and the Queensland competitive pathway. Her progression is a credit to Stella and her family, as well as the opportunities and support provided along the way by Surfing Queensland, Surfing Australia, her coaches, sponsors and the wider Sunshine Coast surfing community.
It is also another reminder of the calibre of surfers who continue to emerge from the shores of Maroochydore and the Sunshine Coast. Surfers including Keely Andrew, Sophie McCulloch, Alister Reginato and many others have grown up surfing these same beaches before progressing to compete at the highest levels of the sport. For every young surfer currently paddling out at a North Shore club day, Stella’s achievement shows that the pathway is real. The local beach can become the state stage. The state stage can become the Australian stage and the Australian stage can lead all the way to representing your country.
International competition, however, comes with significant costs. To help Stella and her family meet the expenses involved in travelling to El Salvador, North Shore Boardriders has established a fundraising campaign through the Australian Sports Foundation.
Funds raised will help contribute towards Stella’s international travel, accommodation, and competition expenses.
Stella has earned her place now let's help get her there.
Sharing this campaign with friends, family and local businesses will help us reach more people and build support for Stella.
Congrats Stella, we are proud to see you pull on the green and gold!!!
