Thanks RoB C for the pics. And thanks again to the Manly club for hosting the Fiveways.

Another balmy day with slight offshore winds set the scene for an excellent day of competition. The only negative was the swarm of free surfers that  populated the North Curl Curl break zone. The biggest surprise of the day however was the cool water which some said had dropped to a crisp 15 - 16 degrees. We were all back into our steamers as a matter of survival.

Some outstanding performances punctuated the first round with Alex having a great heat and landing some walling rights into the beach. Coxy continues his continued improvement and his score sheets attested this with around five impressive waves to his credit. It was great to see Murray predominate the second heat with some controlled climbs and drops whilst Robbie C and Lex pressed their credentials as consistent and entertaining performers to take out the fourth and fifth heats.

Welcome to Jayden O’Sullivan who joined the Club on the day and surfed very creditably in the Junior’s heat which again was taken by the ever reliable Josh. Tim O’reilly also joined on the day and we look forward to him competing in future comps after he trades in his 5’8” and acquires a real board. The BBQ was taken on by Murray who cooked up a storm for the half time break. Robbie C treated us to some new gastronomical delights in the form of skinless, gourmet sausages as well as the normal bill of fare –all of these at a discount as well. Nice work Rob!

The final rounds were held in somewhat less consistent conditions as the rising tide made the waves a bit fuller and the wait and positioning became critical factors. Josh again grabbed a host of nice peelers to take the Juniors ahead of Connor with Nicki coming in a creditable third. Steve B blitzed the Fourths with a couple of fast right handers and Bruce, reflecting the practice he gained from a recent trip to the Maldives, took out the Thirds. Griggsy, powered a couple of lefts to shade Mike B and Phil N in the Seconds whilst Coxy landed some nice snaps to outpoint Lex and the ever improving Alex in the Firsts.

An excellent day overall and we thank Godfrey for forcing us to think laterally and improvise on the day. We all agreed to have our FUN DAY on the 12th of December – Everyone is to turn up at the usual time for some competition of different nature. Remember to bring your eight footers with you.

After the beach activities we will adjourn to Phil’s place to hold the AGM and imbibe some Christmas Cheer. Be there or be lumbered with jobs in 2011.Look forward to seeing you all in a couple of weeks – Phil
