Surfers Paradise Baseball Club

[2][3][4] John Carpenter, Mitch Wikum and Steve Meeham founded Surfers Paradise Baseball Club in 1987.

That year the club entered three teams in the Brisbane metropolitan competition, and in their first season won the A-Grade title.

By the start of the '90 to '91 season, there was an abundance of young players with not enough coaches to manage them so the competition was forced to expand and teams were created in the areas where the kids lived such as Runaway Bay, Nerang and Palm Beach.

[8][9] The first junior representative players to come from Surfers Paradise were Brandon Pollard, Trent Durrington, Shane Edwards and Adam Wardrop.

[10] On 21 December 2008 the team played in the Commissioners Cup at the Beenleigh Hawks baseball club and lost to the shield's incumbent, the Redcliffe Padres 4–3.
