LOCAL legend Daryl Moss isthe latest person to be awardeda life membership of Jan JucSurf Life Saving Club.

The accolade was one oftwo significant honoursbestowed upon Mr Moss in asmany weeks.

He was also crowned SurfLife Saving Victoria’s Volun-teer of the Year at a recentAwards of Excellence dinner.

The Graeme Long Medal,presented by Emergency Ser-vices Minister James Merlino,specifically recognised MrMoss’ contribution over the2015/16 season.

“I was involved with coach-ing for about 15 years at JanJuc and then the last three orfour I’ve got involved in theLife Saving education, whichhas always been key to me,” hesaid.

“I thought I actually did lessthis year but when you write itall down I actually did morebecause it was in all differentareas.”

The win automaticallynominates Mr Moss, a “doer”by nature, for Surf Life SavingAustralia’s Volunteer of theYear award.

“I don’t find it difficult to beinvolved, I don’t like to sitthere and see things not hap-pen,” he said.

The 53-year-old competedin surf lifesaving at a state andnational level as a youngster,cementing his passion for thesport.

“I think I’ve clocked up 40-odd years in lifesaving,” hesaid.

“I always wanted to be a

teacher and didn’t get thegrades so I do it as a volunteerthing where you’re educatingkids and building better peo-ple.

“I’m probably giving backwhat I got out of it.”

Mr Moss was living in Mel-bourne but a permanent camp-er on the Surf Coast when hefirst got involved at TorquayLife Saving Club where his 20-year stint earned him a longservice award.

“Then my wife and I boughta caravan at Jan Juc and then

that resulted in my transfer-ring clubs; I was given theopportunity to build the JanJuc club in a sporting sense,”he said.

“They didn’t have a coachso I went over there and putthe foundations in place whenI was in my mid-30s.

“Because Jan Juc is such agood family-orientated club Idecided to stay there.”

Mr Moss, his wife and twochildren, relocated to Jan Jucpermanently around 12 yearsago.

His daughter, Cassandra,has been a junior representa-tive, trainer, assessor and pa-trol captain at Jan Juc SLSC.

Cassandra was named SurfCoast Young Citizen of theYear on Australia Day 2015 inrecognition for her outstand-ing leadership and volunteerwork and just recently she re-turned from a lifesaving stintin Japan.

Mr Moss was visiting hisson, a surfing instructor inCanada, when the two awardswere announced.
