It was great to be back with two pointscores completed over the past month, all divisions on 24 October and juniors only on 7 November. The October event was at Coledale in a building swell about 2-3 foot. We ran every division of the club including micros and finals for most divisions too. The A grade men was taken out by Nic Squiers and the Open Women by Kasey Hargraves.
The junior-only event was held in sensational waves at our home beach Scarborough while the micros ran at Sharkeys Beach, Coledale. It seems our juniors have all improved immensely during lockdown and the outstanding surfing on display was a pleasure to watch. Winners were Amira Blu Rankin in the junior girls, Finn O’Connor in the 12s and Lachlan Groves in the 14s.
The delayed state junior surfing titles ran from November 16-22 across our area with 10 of our juniors competing. The event moved from Sandon Point to East Corrimal, then Woonona and back again to Sandon Point with a range of different swell and conditions. Congratulations to the following members who finished in the top 10 for their division: Zahlia Short 2nd in Girls 16 & Under, while sister Shyla equal 6th. Mannix Greentree-Squiers equal 6th in Boys 16 & Under. Zahlia and Mannix should now qualify for Australia National Junior Surfing Titles – date and venue to be announced.
Dates for the rest of the year below:
• Pointscore No.8, 12 Dec. Seniors only for under 18s and up. Finals for all divisions this day.
• Aloha Manly Junior Teams Event, Manly, 4-5 Dec
