It was an epic warm day at Diggers Beach for the qualifier with teams from all over the NSW North Coast. Byron Bay, Kingscliff, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie all have now qualified for the National final. We urge evryone if they can to get down to Newcastle next year to get behind the club. It is a fantastic weekend away and in my eye’s the best event on the surfing calendar.
Thanks to our team for putting in a solid effort on the day and getting us through to Newcastle. Out Team consisted of Will Martin, Creed Smart, Rosie Smart, Carly White, Jayke Sharp, Madison Williams, Shaun Cansdell & Tim Lewis. Massive shout out to Andrew Lindsay and Grom for getting the team in to shape. Also thanks on the day to The Condor Macho, Darren Macca, Ian Klaus, Steve Dean, Mark Williams and all the CHBC crew.
A massive hats of to Josie Ward and the awesome BBQ team. It was a real hot day down there. It was just like the old days with Jenny Goode, Tracey Schultz, Aaron Martin and Alison Hammond all having a crack with the tongs and feeding everyone. The BBQ raised nearly $1,000.
Jayke Sharp got one of the the highest scores of the day tearing the wave apart like a frothing grommet (9.43 opening wave). Will Martin took out the high performer award for the best young junior. The surf was real small but our team managed to juice every small wall on offer to get us down to the big one. Also thanks to Shell for taking these epic pics.
