Following a day where it rained non-stop with more than 76mm (3”) falling, we celebrated the close of the 2011 competition year with our 2011 SCLB Presentation Night at the Front Beach Cafe.  Those who were able to make it given the terrible conditions had the opportunity to share conversation, be entertained by Oscar, Herb and Ben, check out Yestin’s new DVD and enjoy some very nice nibbles.

Thanks to Laney for once again making the very nice trophies and to Bob and Noel for organising the evening and sourcing the other awards (books and DVD’s) that our 2011 winners received.

Club members are asked to donate yummy Christmas table food items for the Torquay Food Aid Christmas hamper appeal.  Torquay Food Aid identifies families in crisis in our community and makes up hampers for their Christmas meal.  They can manage the staple food items but struggle with the nice extras we all love so much.

Donated food items can be dropped off to me at Surf World before December 15.

Thanks heaps.

Overall a great week of surfing for Victoria and in particular the Surfcoast Longboard Club, makes you wonder if any other longboard club in Australia achieved a set of results like this?

 

For a detailed breakdown of all results (including individual wave scores) go to the Australian Surf Festival Website and click on results, also check out the daily photos and daily video clips of the comp.

This comp is open to all longboarders and pre '80s retro short boarders.
