    Hey all,
    Well, where has that year gone? Only seems like yesterday that the '09 Sanga comp was on and here we are with the floater awards for 2010:

    The day started out a bit rough, with us having to push the 4WD out of the sand bog a few times, but as usual we had a good day on the beach. Though the banks weren't too kind to us, the swell was and a few heavy pits ate up the too–slow and the able–bodied alike. Sand in the steamer… bad.

    All the crew stuck around for the BBQ and preso, and the footy was enjoyed on the club's new TV. We're lucky Mule wasn't there, as the Roosters took the choker's tag off the Dragons. Thanks to all who helped out on the day and made our most important comp of the year a success once again.

    Kings of the Coast

    The Kings of the Coast has been set down for the 20th September and will be held at Forresters Beach. If you've forgotten, we lost the title last year to the MOB. This year we need to get twice as many supporters up the coast and bring our “A” game with us. The club will be hiring a big red bus, so let's fill it and smash 'em all! We've been told that it will be jet ski assist if the comp is held at Forries, so it will be an insane day to be a part of. I'll let you know more as it comes to hand.

    Dates

    There's talk that we may have a grandfinal day BBQ at the clubhouse in October. So, talk it around and if people are keen we'll get it going. Maybe a comp day in the morning.

    Cheers,
    Lovey

    Lovey's rant

    Hey all,
    Well, well, well someone came up with a good sacrifice for the last comp cause we had one of the best days of surf I can remember. Huey served up a treat for all of us on the point and some filthy waves were consumed by those lucky enough to be a member of Avoca Boardriders. Nothing better than taking over the point.

    Last month a crew of members took off on our annual treachery trip and what a great weekend we had… only problem was the swell was too big… don't usually hear that, but the groms had a ball out Seal Rocks and on the inside the sand lined up nicely for the super groms. The usual grom training went on but no harm was done; in fact they seemed to enjoy it. We had a new area to camp in this year and it kept us away from the rest of the campers which was great. Hope to see you all there again next year.

    We have put in our clothes order for this year, so if you missed out there will be another order going in soon,so we will let you know.

    Big congrats goes out to Wags, Isaac and Josh for getting 3rd in the state teams and Josh for a 2nd in the all stars. He now gets to go to the Aussies. Good luck pesto! Also to Brendo and Josh for their wins in the Harboard Dripping Wet Comp.

    cheers,
    Lovey
