Dream day for surfers of all ages
Last month's pointscore took place in epic conditions at Scarborough Beach
Our May 3 pointscore was postponed due to the deceased whale being towed past our beaches a few days before the event was scheduled. We eventually staged the event on May 17 in epic conditions at our home beach, Scarborough.
It was just one of those days, we arrived to hoots and screams, and it just got better as the day went on, slowly picking up and slamming the bank harder. Barrels, power carves, lip slams all on offer, and everyone – from junior parent-assist right through to 55s – was getting a slice of the action.
Some of the stand-outs: Fin McLaren’s 8.10 in the final with a wild carve everyone was talking about; Talina’s 7.83 (but she couldn’t get a back-up); Flynn Gale on fire in the U18s heat with a heat total of 15.00; the kegs going down post-heat around midday; and the courage of super young surfers like Mara Giddings, Mini Kornek and Tully Warren on waves double overhead for them!
It’s days like this you dream of, so thanks to the crew for making it happen.
Special thoughts to Ian Anderson and Mick Smoley – from the 55s, wishing you both a speedy recovery. Thanks to Wombarra Bowling Club for the new rashies and shout-out to Banabae Thirroul for junior prize & to Headlands Hotel Austinmer for the vouchers for winners.
Good luck to our members who travelled up to Coffs Harbour after the event for the Surfing NSW State Titles. We have juniors and seniors representing our area and we wish them all the best.
