Bio
Auden Parish’s earliest memories of surf lifesaving are as a five-year-old at North Avoca SLSC, when at times he was afraid of larger waves. Nippers helped with his confidence in the surf, and at 13 years of age relocated on the Gold Coast, Parish commenced his journey through surf sports, training for Ironman competition just a year later, and has not looked back since, claiming a 3rd in the Open Male Board at the 2024 World Lifesaving Championships. Parish earned his debut Iron Series lycra through the Next Gen competition, and was able to secure an impressive podium finish in his first season, 2023/24. When not training or competing, Parish works for Surf Life Saving Queensland as a Drone Operator and helps educate children on beach safety and CPR.
Auden, what is your top Iron Series memory so far?
I was the first Next Gen to get a medal in the Iron Series!
What is your best training hack?
I get to training a bit early and sometimes go for a run or do some rolling and stretching.
After training I always make sure to play in the surf to get my skills up.
What is the best piece of advice that you have ever been given?
The best piece of advice I’ve been given is to stay in my own lane and to worry about myself.
Do you have a secret talent?
I have a crazy fast metabolism so I can eat anything and not out on weight 😂
