The Sunshine Coast surfing community is grieving the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Tim Ollier, affectionately known as Timmy, whose passion for surfing, infectious energy, and joyful spirit made him a cherished figure among friends and fellow surfers.
As a dedicated member of the WindanSea Boardriders, Tim’s life revolved around the ocean, the camaraderie of his surfing family, and the shared joy of riding waves. His passing has left a profound void across the club and the wider surfing community, as those who knew him reflect on a life lived with enthusiasm, generosity, and love.
Tim was admired not only for his skill in the water but for the warmth and positivity he brought into every interaction. Those close to him recall his radiant smile, boundless energy, and the kindness with which he approached everyone around him.
Whether mentoring younger surfers, encouraging friends to try a new wave, or simply sharing a laugh on the beach, Tim had a rare ability to make those around him feel valued and uplifted. His love for the ocean was mirrored by his love for life itself—a dedication to friendship, community, and connection that resonated deeply with all who met him.
The WindanSea Boardriders expressed their collective sorrow, acknowledging the deep impact Tim had on the club: “Tim leaves us far too soon, but his spirit, his smile, and his love for the ocean will never be forgotten.”
To honor his memory and celebrate his enduring connection to the sea, a paddle out will be organized in the coming weeks—a tradition that reflects the unique way surfers pay tribute to those who have passed, sharing one final ride together on the waves that Tim loved so dearly.
Tim’s family has requested privacy during this period of grief, asking that friends, club members, and the wider community respect their space while they process this immense loss. In the meantime, the community is encouraged to lean on one another, share stories, and remember the joy Tim brought to every corner of his life.
Timmy Ollier’s legacy is woven into the fabric of the Sunshine Coast surfing community. His spirit lives on in the waves he rode, the laughter he shared, and the friendships he nurtured.
Though his absence leaves a void that can never be replaced, his influence will continue to inspire future generations of surfers to embrace life with the same courage, kindness, and joy that defined Tim.
For all who knew him, Tim Ollier will forever be remembered not just as a talented surfer, but as a beloved friend, a vibrant soul, and a shining example of living fully and authentically.
