THE IRUKANDJI NAME
The Irukandjis name was generously gifted to Surfing Australia by the local Yirrganydji people of North Queensland, driven by the
efforts of Indigenous athlete and former World Tour surfer, Soli Bailey. Our namesake and tagline is ‘The Irukandjis: Deadly in the
Water’, after the Irukandji jellyfish – an extremely venomous species of jellyfish that inhabit Australian marine waters.
Australian representatives across all surfing disciplines, including Olympic, Opens, Juniors, Masters, Para, Longboard and Stand Up
Paddleboard (SUP) compete under The Irukandjis national identity and united colours at international events
such as the Olympics, and all International Surfing Association (ISA) events.
The team branding and uniforms were developed in collaboration with BWM Dentsu and Indigenous artist Jasmine Craciun, who
derived inspiration from her ancestors, the Barkindji people. The organic shapes on the uniform represent fluid movement within the
water and emulate light hitting the ocean when viewed from below.
Learn more about the Yirrganydji people and their initiatives here including the Yirrganydji Land and Sea and Junior Ranger Program,
estuarine Crocodile Monitoring Program and Traditional Use of Marine Resources Agreement (TUMRA).
