Another fantastic club comp today, thanks guys! JB ran a slick comp with el presidento Casso and head judge Simon. I won't list the results as I had to go, sorry guys - daughter's last soccer game for the season.
I heard Pete Morgan won which is awesome, he was gouging massive hacks all day. Sorry to Steve for the drop in, at least I am living up to my reputation....lol.
Some of the surfing today was really impressive with a bunch of new faces in the final.
Pete, will get the jacket to you ASAP, just couldn't part with it Nah, I paddled out in the final and remembered it was still hanging on the front door where it lived the last couple of months...
Sorry about that
I know I will get red thumbed for this BUT, I think the NSW's team has the goods to take out the title. Flame suit on doors locked and new hair cut
What an awesome day - both waves and weather.
Great to see the level of surfing has just skyrocketed. Congratulations to those that scored their personal best results (quite a few).
The results of the Open Final were:
1st - Pete Morgan (personal best)
2nd - Dan Cleary (personal best)
3rd - Steve Morrison (personal best)
4th - John Christensen
5th - Jeremy Corne
6th - Sam Parker
Thanks for the new committee for making my day a lot less busy.

Great pics Alison!!!!
Couldn't agree more with Casso and Goaty (and 62Mac).
What an outstanding day. Skywriting, vintage plane flypast and vitamin drink sample truck have set the bar pretty high - can't wait for Palmy in Oct!!
Icing on the cake for me was Scotty's home brew soup.
Thanks to JB and everyone else who helped put on such a great show.

What an awesome day, waves, sun, and unfortunately sun burn too!
Thanks to every one for making it today, such a great turn out! And a massive props to Hughie for putting on the waves.
Well done to Pete! Great effort today mate and well deserved.
The level of riding has become so high, and every heat draw is difficult!
Loco, I think today I was surfing a bit above my skill level, stacked a lot of moves that I probably should have back off a bit on The board was rocking today
Looking forward to next event, Hope to see you all again then if not before. October 10th at Palm Beach.

dan
where is your head gone in that first piccie of you
looks like you guys scored some waves down that way today
and great piccies alison
Just like the City/Country game every year,you guys beating up on each other while the Queenslanders sit back and relax.
Yep to everyone, was a top day ! Personal worst for me surfing wise ( might actually surf a bit before October ) but still thoroughly enjoyed the day!
Perfect weather, awesome waves, ripping surfing, fantastic chicken soup, skateboards in the carpark, tight cornering race action, it was all there.
Bottom line though is a great bunch of people!
Thanks to JB for running it, and Dan you are the worst Head Judge ever!
P.S. a speacial mention and thanks to East Coast Sup for coming along, supporting the club and throwing out some extra prizes.
Yes great day guys! Like Simon, the body was not willing even though conditions were excellent!
Amazing to look back to the first comp just a year ago and the numbers of crew turning up. Support was awesome from all the sponsors and it looks like the new committee will take it to another level.
Might be time for a Masters division I reckon! 45+.
Looks like a SICK comp with some good waves!!! i'm stoked some one got good waves for a comp You guys should send some of those shots in to SUP world, there looks like some mag worthy moves going on.

Thanks for posting Casso, did Alison shoot that? Any of the final?
Can you edit out my drop in please?...lol
Nice one Casso, I didn't get all that much footage, but I'll spin something up quickly one day.
Pete, you looked pretty natural on that board mate, Especially concidering it was the first time riding it
