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.

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.
