August 2009 - Competition Round Footage

Some 15 members competed in the August round in 1 to 1.5 metre glassy waves. The peaks on the front bank had the most consistent waves, however, a few members ventured out to the Point and scored some smaller waves that went through to the beach. The beach peaks were a bit fat but members managed to find a few workable sections.

We were lucky this week as Frank McWilliams slept in and missed the first round giving us all a chance. Mick Calnan was in real form and scored some nice waves with some classic footwork. Congratulations to Mick on his first place this month. It was great to see Bill Webster back in the water after a 4 month lay-off following shoulder surgery. We hope he has a full recovery.

This footage features the surfing of Bruce Wilson, Roger Coulthurst, Marg Bryant, Grant Edwards, Alan Rich, Steve Watts, Mick Calnan, and Frank McWilliams.
