The Honolulu grill was the venue the NSB Presentation night and it was great to see a packed house there to celebrate another awesome year at club level and to crown our 2008 club champions. The weather was bearable for the 1st time in days and it was our two WCT Surfers with Dayyan Neve and Kai Otton who took charge of the floor and we announced each division top four surfers.
It must be said the grommets were out in force and they really enjoyed the comedy that both the boys provided. A night like this takes a lot of effort from everyone and I would like to personally thank all those companies that donated, such epic prizes for everyone.
We gave away over 15 grands worth of prizes including 5 new custom made surfboards to our junior champions, Otto and Insight, Dayyan and Hayden, along with Aloha Manly and Warner surfboards provided a lot of joy and we thanks them heaps.
Quiksilver , is now one of our biggest supporters and they threw in 5 grands worth of stock and vouchers for our members in 2008. Also O’Neil wetsuits, Volcom , Hurley, Oakley Sunglasses, Ocean and Earth, Dakine , Smith Sunglasses, Mambo and Lost threw in gear .
During the year , we had a lot of success both in teams and individual contest , NSW Jim Beam team placed 2nd in the NSW event before going to place 3rd in the National final. Also we had both Dayyan (19th)and Kai (15th) kill it on the WCT with both placing in the top 20 in the world.
Victor Levett made finals at the Nationals in two different divisions and will now go onto the World Masters.
In the grommets we had great success with Max Brokman , Blake Levett , Tyson Bruun, Nathan Munro , Tori Levett and Bonnie Hall all making the NSW State Junior Titles.
Lauren Mc Aleer has major success on the junior circuit and the stylish natural-footer represented at the Aussie Titles.
Other performances of note include 14’s club champion Nathan Munro , claiming his 1st major title as he out lasted a classy field to win the Hurley ‘’BL Blast Out’’.
I would like to thank my board, Wazza Randall , Dazza Speight , Ronny Wong , Andy Bullman , Suzanne Hennessey for making things happen.
Our major sponsors Aloha Manly and Surfection give us so much and their money goes towards making things like the presso night happen.
Most of all , thanks to the member who believe in NSB and hopefully will do so for many years to come.
Cheers everyone, seeing everyone so happy and stoked like Sunday night makes it worth turning up each year.
