A huge congratulations to our women who came 7th out of 21 teams at the Her Wave Teams Classic at Kiama over the weekend 1-2 April.
On Day 1 our shortboard side fought neck and neck with Elourea for 2nd place until the final minutes of the heat. Practically nothing between 1st place and our eventual 3rd.
Our longboard side then backed up with a nail-biting performance, leading most of the heat until the final seconds when the Bondi Girls Surfriders team clinched one more wave, giving them less than half a point lead!
On Day 2 our girls won their combined shortboard longboard tag-team heat. But after the judges took some time to count back because of a close overall score, we missed being in the final by just 0.90! The team didn’t just participate… they really did dominate. Our women surfed with strength and strategy in dead low tide in a sizeable swell to hold the lead pretty much the entire way.
Team, you did the club proud, you did surfing proud and you did women proud! Thank you so much to organisers and well done to the other teams.
We were excited to be invited to the inaugural Surfing State of Origin event at Burleigh Heads, Queensland on Sunday, 30 April 2023.
The Surfing State of Origin is an unprecedented invitation-only event, involving 16 boardrider clubs from Queensland and New South Wales, competing in Australian sport’s greatest rivalry – Qld v NSW. Each State will have eight participating clubs. Good luck to our team!
