Shaw and Partners Iron Series
About
The Shaw and Partners Iron Series is Australia’s premier surf sport series, showcasing the nation’s elite Iron athletes.
Rounds
Australia’s fittest and most skilled surf sports athletes will battle it out over seven rounds of elite Iron racing.
They will be pushed to their limits in courses that test endurance, speed, and skill in the ocean. Each round will see the bottom placed Male and Female Iron Athletes knocked out, until only twelve remain for the winner-takes-all Grand Eliminator.
Races
The Shaw and Partners Iron Series competitors must conquer the different race formats in order to be crowned Shaw and Partners Iron Series champion.
While a traditional Ironperson race features a swim, board and ski leg, our races add an extra level of challenge for athletes—and make for an even more thrilling spectacle.
Disciplines
Swim. Board. Ski. Run. The Shaw and Partners Iron Series athletes must master it all.
But these skills are about more than racing. At the heart of surf sports is surf lifesaving, where the ability to read the ocean and navigate the waves can make all the difference when saving a life.
