The October comp was held on Sunday 19 October at South Kianga. The winds that we have been subjected to lately were up again, despite the comp starting earlier thanks to daylight savings. A good number of people as well as the amazing BBQ crew were all in attendance. The conditions were small, but for those that stayed in close, a few little rights were on offer.
Heat 1 - Open Ladies were the first in the water. It was smiles and laughter as usual. This crew love being in the water and even just being out there is a happy occassion, so if the girls get a wave, it's just a bonus.
1st Lin Wilton, 2nd Cat Davies, 3rd Sue Lawson, 4th Sammee McCarthy.
Heat 2 – Under 10's. With the Open Ladies straight out from their heat, they went straight in to assist the Under 10 gals. These young girls go from strength to strength each comp, and with the help of the Opens setting them up on some good little waves, they all had fun riding the waves all the way to shore.
1st Ruby Moore, 2nd Lauren Barry, 3rd Lani Rogerson, 4th Stephie Ovington.
Heat 3 – Open Ladies the remaining Open's took to the water and the conditions hadn't improved. These 3 gals have had limited time in the water, so it was good for them to give it a red hot go, despite the conditions trying to dampen their spirits.
1st Anne Nicholson, 2nd Tanya Brown, 3rd Jackie Stallard.
Heat 4 – 11ys & 12yrs combined in a heat that was ultra competitive. The progress is becoming more and more evident in these girls and some of this group are able to paddle out and paddle onto their own waves without assistance.
11yrs – EQUAL 1st Geena Thomas & Baillee O'Brien, 2nd Aisha Thomas.
12yrs - 1st Anna Rogerson.
Heat 5 – 13yrs, 14yrs, 15yrs & 16yrs combined this great group of girls are all accustomed to surfing together. The competition amongst them is strong but the fun had and smiles are stronger.
13yrs - 1st Jemma Wilson
14yrs - 1st Georgia MacDonald, 2nd Amber
15yrs - 1st Meg Hawken
16yrs - 1st Ally MacDonald
Heat 6 – 12yrs & 13yrs Combined
In the final heat of the day the conditions deteriorated even more. These girls weren't deterred though and with the assistance of some water safety people, they got in and got some good little waves to end the day.
12yrs - 1st Ruby Wilson, 2nd Amy Nitsche
13yrs - 1st Elini Ives, 2nd Lara Ryder

Return of Board Training
This Thursday 30/10/14 from 4.30pm at Narooma's Bar Beach (netted area). Board training is a great way for Surf Sistas to get some instruction and tips on paddling techniques as well as other tidbits that are all aimed at improving the individual. All registered Surf Sistas that wish to come along just need to be ready to go at 4.30pm with wetsuits on, boards waxed, sunscreen on etc. Its a good idea to bring a drink bottle too. All kids under 14yrs need to have a parent or guardian present at the beach. As there are a lot of kids that participate in the training sessions, please bring your own gear if you have it. The more parents/helpers that can take to the water the easier it is for everyone to enjoy and learn together.
