We had a great first day with the rain holding off for our first comp of the year. Surf conditions were challenging with the southerly making it a bit of a washing machine experience!Well done to all our participants. Our thanks goes to all who helped, assembling and then cooking BBQ’s is not everybody’s idea of fun first upon a Sunday morning.Remember if you judge three heats you get an extra name in the prize drawer.

Hi Surfers,
Well hopefully we will be in luck for tommorrow's comp, the swell seems to have backed off. This will be our last comp for the year with December 9 being our presentation day and Annual General Meeting. This is always great fun, so mark down the day in your diaries. Amanda will be stepping down as President so we will be looking for somone to take up that position. Without support from members and families the club cannot operate, so if you think you have skills to offer put your hand up, we can sure use the help!
If you have not paid for your Tshirt please bring your money with you tomorrow, and also any raffle tickets you have sold. I will have more raffle ticketbooks available tomorrow.
See you bright and early tomorrow,
Donna

The surf by Casey Mayall
The surf is a mysterious place,
Where the waves pick up a rapid pace,
As they run their quick race.
The waves tumble,
Spirits have been crumbled,
But none get left behind.
Fish swim,
Wind blows,
You might see a rainbow,
Sharks swim swiftly,
Sand blows silently,
I hope I don’t go violently.
My time is up,
The wave is coming,
My time here is done,
I’ve had a good life,
I’ve had some fun,
But now its time to go,
Here it is,
I get held down,
I can’t breathe now,
I haven’t much time left,
I’m sorry I can’t get up,
I can’t breathe,
I have no air left,
My lungs get filled,
I’m unconscious now,
There’s no way out.
I fall into a never-ending sleep,
With that person I never get to meet
Finally the pain goes away,
I’m being lifted to a better place,
I’m sorry I couldn’t stay,
And this is my way,
To a path to a better place.
BUT then,
I see a light,
I feel a breath,
Did I die, I don’t know,
Because time was going very slow,
Life, I thought was out of reach,
But now I’m here upon the beach,
And there’s that person I thought I’d never meet.
“I’M ALIVE” I scream
Then I wake up out of my terrible dream
A nice cold start for our July comp, no natural disasters, just plenty of non-competitors to share it with! A 3 foot surf suited most of the girls, with the odd bigger one swooped as well.Rebecca put on an aggressive display in A grade, go girl!
Have checked out the new logo at the top of the page?If you would like to order a black long sleeve t with bright pink logo let us know.I hope to have a price at the comp on Sunday. Thanks to Daman at TTM Screenprinting for his work on the logo.
Please note the next comps will be held on May 13thand June 10th, 7am SoldiersBeach.
Happy Mothers Dayto all those devoted mums who drag themselves out of bed at the crack of dawn to get their girls to the beach, hope you feel appreciated today.Well done also to our mums competing.A few more would be great, then we could do a mother daughter teams event!!
Mmmm, maybe a few surfing lessons for your Mum for Mothers day!!
