A busy month for Scarborough Boardriders with the Werri Slash teams event 1st May, Ocean & Earth Junior Regional Surfing Titles 8th May and nudie Boardriders Battle National Final on 15-16 May.
Firstly, this year’s annual Werri Slash in Gerringong was a tag team event, with six different teams from four South Coast boardriding clubs competing for prizes and an overall winner. About 25 of our members competed against Werri, Culburra and Jones Beach and we won five of the six divisions: U14 girls, U14 boys, U20 Boys, Open Women and A grade team (3 x open men, 1 x women and 1 x over 35). We also won the overall trophy for the event. Well done, team!
Next, well done to all Scarborough groms who took part in the regional surf titles at Bellambi Harbour. Jesse Fitzgibbons, Mannix Squiers and Zahlia Short won their age divisions, and Anna Chamberlain, Shyla Short, Oscar Hargreaves, Kye Kulmar, Macey Jolley and Ashton Mekisic all made the finals. Best of luck in the state titles.
Finally, after winning our region in the Australian Boardriders Battle Regional Qualifier in October 2020, our team travelled to Newcastle, along with 23 other teams from across the country, to compete in the national finals. The event was held over two days with the final tag event on the Sunday when the surf was double plus overhead, testing the abilities of most surfers. In the end we finished equal 17th overall.
Congratulations to our surfers who worked well as a team and put their heart and soul into doing their best for the club.
