Bio
Tiarnee Massie is coming off her best year yet as a professional surf sports athlete. During the 2025/26 season, Massie won the Shaw and Partners Iron Series, and then backed up to take out the Australian Open Ironwoman title. Massie has notched a bevy of Australian Titles and call-ups to the Australian Life Saving Team so far in her career, but next on her list is a Shaw and Partners Iron Series trophy. Outside of competition, she works in a dental practice and loves the challenge of balancing her career with the demands of elite training and racing. For Massie, it’s all about working hard, believing in yourself, and giving back to the sport she loves.
Tiarnee, what is the best part about being a surf sports athlete?
The best part of being a surf sports athlete is the combination of challenging myself, competing in the ocean I love, and sharing it with the people around me. I love the feeling of pushing my limits and seeing the hard work in training pay off on race day. But one of the most rewarding parts is being part of a community, giving back to my club and hopefully inspiring the next generation to chase their own goals.
What is your biggest training hack?
My biggest training hack is to focus on consistency rather than trying to be perfect. The small things you do every day such as getting enough sleep, fuelling properly, recovering well and showing up when you don’t feel like it all add up to the biggest improvements over time.
What is the best piece of advice that you have ever been given?
F-E-A-R has two meanings.
Forget Everything And Run, or, Face Everything And Rise. The choice is yours.
What is your top Iron Series memory?
Winning the Shaw and Partners Iron Series last season at Miami – my second home.
