Surf Sistas snippets

A GORGEOUS morning last Sunday greeted us for the April surf comp. This comp was held at Bingie Point, where some of the crew hadn't been before.  It is truly a little hidden treasure so close to home and although the surf was really small, the water temp was about 25 degrees and crystal clear.  The morning started with the juniors and what a confidence building day it turned out to be.  The pre-comp briefing from Mick emphasised the fact that today would be the day that the juniors could try to paddle onto their own waves and not relying so heavily on being "pushed onto" the selected waves.  All surfers did a great job with most paddling back out solo or at least attempting to which was great to see.  Days like this is when the surfers (and not beginners) really go ahead leaps and bounds with the basics all coming together.  Sunday was for some; the first time they have been able to paddle out unassisted.  Pretty much everyone were on soft boards, so there were even some friendly collisions which provided laughs for everyone - the Opens showing the juniors what "dropping in" and friendly "Wave Rage" really looks like!
