The Season Ends

The Season Ends

by Nog General Club News Groms

Last weekend saw the final Saturday of the season for the Kids Club with groups 1 to 4 enjoying a  morning in the surf before gathering to receive their Junior Surfer Scheme log books with Level One completed by all participants. The coaches  also had the difficult task of deciding award winners for each group – and there were many more deserving of prizes than there were trophies to hand out! So without further ado, let’s look at the winners:

 

Group One Award Winners

 

Group One Surfer of the Summer award went to Fletcher Saint. The Most Committed Surfer Award went to Leo Kirk-Mackrell. And The Most Improved Surfer was Teddy Nichols.

 

Group Two

 

Group Two Surfer of the Summer was Sofia Hosking. The Most Committed Surfer award went to Kaitlyn Borghi. And The Most Improved Surfer was Luca Czerwinski.

 

Group Three Award Winners

 

 

Group Three Surfer of the Summer was Kitty Lees. The Most Committed Surfer Award went to Alexander Hosking. And The Most Improved Surfer was Kaya Stattkus.

 

Group Four Award Winners

 

Group Four Surfer of the Summer was Nicholas Wood. The Most Committed Surfer was James Marsden. And the Most Improved Surfer award was won by Molly Cross.

 

We are still waiting for a season finale contest for Groups 5,6 and 7. That will be called when we see a suitable swell forecast. Watch the Facebook page for an update on that!

On behalf of Saints Boardriders I offer our heartfelt thanks to Harris and Jenna of St. Ives Surf School for their unstinting support for our club. A further massive thank you is due to the dozen or more coaches who give their time freely on a Saturday morning to enable our Kids Club to develop our junior surfers. And a thank you also to those family members who offer their help with check-ins, administration and the general business of making Saturday mornings run smoothly.

Follow us on Facebook to keep abreast of club news, and expect a shout-out with regard to registration for Kids Club 2015 around April time. Maybe see you in the sea at Porthmeor in the meantime! Have a good winter, regards from The Committee.

 

It’s Time!

Fun For All The Family

 

Here’s our last look back at last year’s entries as we prepare for tomorrow’s Fancy Dress Swellboard Shootout to celebrate International Surfing Day. We say a fond “G’Day” to the Tarplee family over in Oz . Wish you were here to share this day with us.This Simpson’s outfit was your most recent rig – and the Great White Sharks of a previous year was another splendid effort! Who will sport the best fancy dress this time?

A brief shout-out to all participants in this morning’s Kids Club – Well done all! There was some stylish surfing on show, and the Team Swellboard contest among the Outbackers was a pretty gritty affair! Nick has some pictures to view here– get over there to see if he caught your best wave today.

See you at the beach tomorow -10am sharp for all competitors!

Will we see this team again in 2014?

 

St. Ives Surf School celebrates International Surfing Day this weekend in it’s own inimicable fashion with the 2014 Swellboard Shootout at Porthmeor Beach on Sunday. This Fancy dress extravaganza was a tremendous success last year, gathering worldwide attention for the Rhythm video edit of the event – and setting the bar pretty high for this years’ teams.

The weather outlook is good, and competitive swellboard action is possible in even the smallest surf conditions, so pack a picnic, slap on the Factor 50 and bring the family down to the beach to catch the action.

Saddle up and mosey on down!

Look out for more  pictures of last year’s teams here in the coming days as we lead up to the big day!
