Bio
Eighteen-year-old Olivia Clues fell in love with surf lifesaving after her dad put her in Nippers in U9’s at her home beach of North Curl Curl. She made her Shaw and Partners Iron Series debut in 2024/25 after a strong performance in the Trial, presented by Race One Surf Craft. She has since blitzed the Next Gen competition, and through it earned her place in both the 2025/26 and 2026/27 Shaw and Partners Iron Series. Outside of sport, Clues works as a disability support worker, and is studying allied health assistance.
