MBC 2011 Star Surf & Skate Round 1
What a day! On Saturday the 26th of March the Mandurah Bodyboard Club held the first round of competition presented by Star Surf & Skate in perfect fun conditions at Mandurah Wedge, Pyramids Beach. Huey the surf god shined brightly upon us as he knew that WA bodyboard legend Ryan Hardy would be attending all the way from Margaret River and made sure the waves where there to greet him and the MBC crew. With a host of new members who turned up to gain a bodyboarding lesson from the champ the scene was set for the day to be an enjoyable time for all. Hardy hit the water with the first heat of A division to lend a hand to first time wedge rider and our youngest member Henry Gibson, 9 years old from Falcon. Henry put on a show for all and must have had some wise words from Hardy as he placed second in his first ever heat, which at such a young age is an inspiration to see. With the largest ever field in A division to hit the water it was Jake McNamara, a new member who had a convincing win over Billy Jones, Scotty Field and Lachlan Hancock. The AA division saw one of the closest finals of all four competitors in club history with Storm Spencer snatching a narrow win from Mitch Warr, Stephen Dodd and Boden Hay. Brendon Gabel took out the Drop Knee division with a 7.0 avg with his final wave putting him ahead of George Humphreys, Luke Zimmer and Declan Genge from Margaret River. Fresh of the plane from Hawaii after taking out the Under 20’s division of the Raw Pro Junior in Newcastle earlier in the year was WA’s up and coming star performer Lewy Finnegan. Lewy managed a rare perfect 20 out of 20 to take the AAA division title from Jake Metcalfe, George Humphreys and Callum Layton.

MBC Star Surf & Skate Round 5 & 2010 Championship Presentations
Saturday the 9th of October saw the Mandurah Bodyboard Club complete their fifth and final round for 2010 presented by Star Surf & Skate at Pyramids Beach. Although conditions were not favourable at first, competitors made the most of the mornings building and consistent swell with light onshore winds, which were a delight to spectators and beach goers alike as the temperature climbed throughout the day.
With a record number of club members in 2010 and valuable club championship points on offer, many competitors seemed focused from the get go to make a great start to the final round and secure their final placing in the overall ratings to become a club division champion.
The AAA division final became a battle of the best ARS’s (Air Roll Spin) and was a seesawing two horse race between eventual winner George Humphreys and Lewy Finnegan. With both riders leaving their best scores till the end of the 25 minute final, it was Humphreys who used his last wave to secure a half point victory over Finnegan. It was then left to Davis Blackwell and Jake Metcalfe to battle it out for the minor placings with Blackwell taking third and Metcalfe fourth by the smallest of margins.
In the AA division Calvin Best dominated the final to win his first round for 2010 over fellow competitor Boden Hay who also posted his best result for the year. Best managed to post the two highest wave scores of the final to walk away with a comfortable win. Hay secured second place just ahead of Stephen Dodd in third and Jack Kerr in fourth.
Mitch Warr had the A division final won in convincing fashion with his first two waves and never looked like being threatened by Jesse Owen in second place, Scott Field in third and Josh Woodroff fourth.
The Drop Knee final was a battle of two regulars in Chad Abbott and Declan Genge versus two novice riders in George Humphreys and Davis Blackwell and was the highlight of the final round. In the end it was the seasoned Chad Abbott taking out his third consecutive and convincing win for the year. Genge managed to stay ahead of dark horse Humphreys in third and Blackwell fourth.
The trophies for overall club division champions for 2010 were then presented with competitors best 4 out of 5 results going towards their overall points tally the fifth and final event was a must for some competitors to perform at their best to hold or better their positions.
George Humphreys needed to win the final round to take the lead from Brendan Gabel in the blue ribbon AAA division and he did just that. Despite not making the final in round five Davis Blackwell claimed first in the AA division and Matt Rakich second.
The four riders in the running to win the A division title made the days final and with no rider winning more than one round previously it made for a four way battle until the end, Mitch Warr’s second win for the year secured overall victory ahead of Scott Field, Jesse Owen and Josh Woodroff.
Declan Genge’s second place in the final round made sure he took home the Drop Knee division title ahead of Luke Zimmer, Chad Abbott and Matt Rakich.
In memory of Ryan and Wade McCurdy the Manduarah Bodyboard Club has recognised the past club members by presenting the McCurdy Brothers Memorial Trophy for excellence in bodyboarding and spirit for the first time. The inaugural winner of the trophy was Declan Genge, a keen, friendly and respected club man Declan is a well deserved winner of the trophy that will be passed on every year to a new club member.
It was great to see the members take full advantage of the free all day BBQ and loads of prizes supplied by generous sponsors won through great effort in some amusing competitions played out at the end of a very enjoyable day.
The Manduarh Bodyboard Club has several state team representatives competing for a national title in Queensland come early November. To assist our members financially with the expensive cost of traveling interstate, the Mandurah Bodyboard Club has fundraised throughout the year to provide each member with $300 towards their costs. The club boasts 4 former national title winners and with Brendan Gabel, Davis Blackwell, Lewy Finnegan, Cam Hutchins, George Humphreys, Boden Hay, Calvin Best, Chad Abbott and John Barker all heading to Queensland to represent Western Australia we look set to increase that number.
Results for Round 5 were as follows:

MBC Comp 1 2010
Mandurah Body Board Club's first comp for the 2010 season kicked off last weekend at the Northern end of Singleton beach.
The predicted decent swell we were hopeing for didn't really rear it's head but there was some fun clean waves on offer for the keen members on hand. New and old members made the most of the picture perfect weather and punchy waves on offer to kick off the season of competition with a bang!
First of all a big THANKS to everyone's patience and hard work to get thing's moving on the morning due to John REEFLEX Barker and partner Fee giving birth to there handsome little man Jai. Thanks for puting up with me running the comp :) couldnt have done it without the help of our commitee members and a huge help out from Helen Rakich on the day!
RESULTS:
AAA Division
The triple A division didn't upset with some amazing surfing going down during the semi's and final. The boys are surfing with confidence way beyond there age and it makes for an exciting competition to watch. In the end it was new club member Jake Metcalf getting the judges approval with his strong surfing throughout the day coming in first. Close behind was Lewy Finnegan, George Humphries and Cam Hutchins making for a really tight final. Be sure to keep an eye on these guys at this weekend's State Title's at Mandurah Wedge!

It was insane to see the A division buldging at the seams with so many competitors entering, making this the biggest division in the club. The long day of competition was worth it for Rockingham pocket rocket Stephen Dodd taking out first place. Following close behind was Ethan Williams, Mick Perkins and Mitch Warr. Once again, great to see so many new members in this division making for a strong future for the club!

The Dropknee final kicked of with a straight up final for the dker's that were on hand. Was great to see a couple of new guys giving the stance a go this year. In the end though it was Declan Genge taking out the final with ease. Declan travels up from Margeret River to each comp, now that's dedication kids! Luke Zimmer took second with Dean Rakich getting one up over his older brother Matt Rakich finishing third and fourth respectively.

It's such a great place for the sport of bodyboarding and we already do a lot in the region like the Ebb Pro.
The store will have the same hardcore 100% bodyboard commitment but will also be a place for the kids to got to and learn from some of the best in the business like the names mentioned above. Ebb would like to thank all the fantastic 100% dedicated brands that, firstly, progress the sport, but also support Ebb and enable our business to grow as well.
