Due to the high calibre of surfing in our senior women’s division, the committee has just approved some big changes for 2021. From now on the division will be known as “Open Women” and, in a first for any club we know, we are introducing prize money, equal to the men, for the women for every pointscore!
Huge first pointscore for 2021 on January 31st at Coledale Beach.
Conditions looked sketchy in the early mist but turned out to be a great day for surfing. A southerly wind and rain squalls did not discourage one of the highest turn-outs for the club with 129 surfers competing in the 12s and up, and more than 30 little ones in the micros held at Scarborough.
Congratulations to Nic Squiers for taking the A-Grade final, posting an 8.17 in the dying moments snatching the win from young gun Will Clarke. It was the single highest score in the final. Congrats to Jackson Forbes who marked his return to the club with a 3rd in the A’s final.
2021 has seen a number of new additions to the senior girl’s division, including local shredder Skye Burgess, who joined the club for the first time and wasted no time in getting down to business, taking out the tightly contested women’s final. Zahlia Short took second ahead of consistent all-rounder Zoe Gelder.
Our next pointscore will be on Sunday, February 28 and don’t forget the weekend trip to Treachery for Pointscore No.3 on March 20.
