Beach Cleanup for SEAWEEK

BRIGHTON BEACH CLEANUP

Sunday March 6th 10am - All welcome to come along and help out.
A group from Big Rock Boardriders will work their way along the coast towards Taieri Mouth to pick up rubbish in the car lay-bys where the freedom campers frequent.
Please meet at 10am by the Skip

A DCC contractor will deliver two really big wheelie bins to the Brighton Beach carpark at about 9am on Sunday March 6. Collected rubbish can go in the bins, or if there is a lot, it can be stacked within a 2 meter radius of the bins. This will all be taken away by the contractor at or after 1pm the same day. While we still have a central collection point at Hancock Park, St Kilda, rubbish will be going straight into a skip without sorting and weighing as the dirty rubbish cannot be recycled.

2011 Season - Surf Comp #1

Jimi got it together for another relaxed comp for the Brighton Surf Club, Big Rock Boardriders, held it on the second day of the Brighton Gala day where their main event was held on the Brighton Domain. So to keep out of the way of the hundreds of carparking visitors and foot traffic we held the event at the horse carpark at Ocean View.

Sorry I didn't put up photos of everyone surfing, I missed on getting a few of you, I was just into relaxing for the arvo, even managed to get sunburnt again.

Competition #2

Our first comp of the year was successfully run 'out front of bens place' in nice 1-2 foot waves, with Jimi Crooks making a speedy recovery from a dislocated shoulder two weeks ago, to take out the honors, with some solid turns on some slightly less solid waves, followed by Andy Sutherland in second, Hayley Coakes in third and Matt Aberdein in forth.

We are going to carry on the roll and let you all know about our second comp well in advance:

We are planning to hold it 5th of March 2011, but keep an eye on the blog for full details, as always will depend on swell forecast for the weekend.
There is likely to be a BBQ following the comp.
