Another golden day for those competing in the May club event, with nice warm weather and above average waves on offer as we head towards the back end of this shortened year.
Their was a number of excellent performances, with Dustin Atkinson (Opens Men) continuing his epic run on contest front , with another win in 2009. He had a slow start to the final but came home strong to pip young Ollie Ingham for the win. Dustin last ride, a 7.0 point score saw him jag a nice clean right peak with the natural-footer flaring his usual range of radical turns. Ollie was unlucky as in the end he only missed out on the win by 0.2 . Heath Irving has had a great year and he was again in the mix placing third with Billy Langley 4th and Shaun Irving 4th.
AFTER A MONTH OUT

COME ON DONT BE LATE
DIMMY
The 25th Jesus Pro Am at Manly had great waves , good weather and even better it came down to two locals who would fight it out for victory . Yes the Open Men’s Division was outstanding and it came down to QBC verse NSB Nick Riley Vs Dustin Atkinson.
With the Men’s final replicating a local inter-club heat, Queenscliff Boardriders Club member Riley, faced the in-form Atkinson from the North Steyne Boardriders Club.
In excellent 1m surf at Queenscliff Beach, both Riley and Atkinson displayed great early round form, with each progressing undefeated to the man-on-man 20-minute final.
In what was a first for NSB, last Saturdays add on club round saw members compete in the tough ‘’Surf Tag’’ format and the overall feedback was positive with everyone having a great day out.
Yes there was teething problems and some teams where more stacked than others but the whole idea was for one to bring everyone together in a fun environment and build club spirit Also we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to surf what is regarded as the toughest format in surfing.
For the club to move forward it’s always good to keep the grommets and older on track with practice part of what it takes to be successful.
Its sounds easy , three waves in 10 minutes but the reality is , it’s tough trying to pick a wave that won’t shut down as most heats are separated by only a couple of points
Onto to the day , there was plenty of personal in the water as one of the bigger more cleaner swell arrived in time for the contest with waves reaching the 4 feet range on offer.

The sun was out, the music was pumping through the PA system and Levett family was doing their thing on the BBQ and what’s more we have one of the best turn outs in years for the March 2009 club contest at Nth Steyne.
For the 1st time in a long time we had quarters in the 18,s boys, Opens and B grade as well as big heat numbers in the grommets which is encouraging for the future of the club.
The waves were 1-2 feet but the left peak offered up enough wave face to rip into and that was the case during the morning session with big scores laid down by a number of surfers who were looking to make their way into their division finals.
The 2009 Kirra Teams Challenge , is spoken of as the ultimate challenge for clubs but really they should say it an impossible task if your from a Sydney club with a wide arrange of problems facing not only NSB but all clubs from our region.
Before I get into all that our team had a great time away , yer we didn’t come in the top 20 but who cares the boys really supported each other and had a awesome four days away.
Well winter came early, last Saturday when NSB held their monthly club contest with high winds, heavy rain and solid waves greeting the crew for what turned out to be a great day of surfing. In what was a first for the club who picked up and moved down to the big shed and it proved to be a winner with the extra protection keeping everyone dry.
