Winter? What winter? The sun was out, the weather was warm, the waves were pumping for our June pointscore #6 at Sharkey’s Beach. In the morning the sets were solid and groomed by a light offshore wind, making for a super fun day.
The A Grade saw contrasting conditions with a slower final after Angus, Jai, Kyan and Mannix were on the tear in the heats. Will got out to an early start in the final linking long sections from out the back, but Josh was waiting patiently, snagging bigger sets, holding down a few power carves, just enough to edge out Mannix who made a late charge.
The Open Women’s Zahlia dominated with her trademark hook in the pocket impressing, while Macey did some work on the open face nicely linking her turns, and Amira in 3rd actually got some smoking sets but couldn’t quite place herself on the open face. And well done to Elle Campbell surfing up from the juniors but definitely holding her own in the senior division.
A few other notable stand-outs: Mitch Burroughs going massively to the air in the Open Bs but just unable to land, some heavy carves going down in the 18s with Keelan taking a strong win and kiwi Andrew is back in the 45s with a late-charge three-turner committed all the way to the inside rock section.
Massive congrats to Talina Wilson for shredding it up at the State Titles, held at Coffs Harbour from May 27 to June 1. Talina picked up multiple results: 1st 030 Women, 2nd 040 Women and 3rd 040 Women longboard. Also, congrats to Noah Kornek for his 2nd place finish. Huge results! It means they are off to the Nationals in SA, along with fellow club shredder Ashton Mekisic.
Epic morning on Sunday, June 15 to wrap up pointscore #6. Our juniors had the time of their lives surfing perfect two-foot clean A-frame at our home break Scarborough. Congrats to our winners taking home the Headlands Austinmer Beach vouchers. Junior girls Parents assist – Mara Giddings. Mixed 10 and under – Austin Wilson. Under 12’s – Felix Tracey.
