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!
