January 2010 Tournament Report Following two months of dismal surf conditions and a 2009 where we forced to cancel more Sundays than we would do in three normal years, Mike Griggs came up with the idea that we should bring the date for January forward by a week so as to have two bites at the January cherry if the need should arise. Well it turned out to be a stroke of genius and Curly provided us with a totally respectable three to four foot north easterly swell – a little gnarly but semi smooth and minimal wind. By eight o’clock the beach was a buzz with us, the Curly Nippers and a good splattering of coffee imbibing public who had turned up to enjoy the day. The Juniors started us off as usual and Josh, Connor and Nicki braved the challenging conditions. Josh surfed up a storm and landed about seven waves to outpoint Connor and take the first round. The Seniors hit the waves which were now consistently four feet and giving up some fine rights. Steve B rode a couple to the sand and showed us his tenacious style particularly in the shore break reforms, Alex surfing the best he has since joining the Club took second place from Simon I and Mike B who both worked hard to close the gap. Heat three was dominated by Sean D and Simon C both showing their back of the board approaches. Good to see Ed C back in the ranks and performing really well to take third. The third heat saw Rob C land his usual outside bombs to eclipse Tom, who is regaining form after a his footy trip to the UK in 2009, and Phil N. The second round followed a gathering around the BBQ with bacon and egg rolls washed down with a couple of softies. The Juniors again led the way with the now slightly larger conditions confining their efforts to the shories. Connor turned the tables on Josh by landing some nice reforms laced with nice cutbacks, Nicki paddled furiously against the whitewater and was a credit to herself and Club in enduring the challenging break. The thirds got off to a momentous start with Chook catching a monster and surfed just in the critical section nearly all the way to the beach whilst Ed C manoeuvred some clever climb and drops on the now clean right handers. Phil C and Mike B weren’t far behind with both catching some impressive rides. The seconds were treated with less waves as they had to contend with a couple of lulls but Griggsy came to the fore with some long left handers to take the money from Alex who again showed his quality form –It was one of those heats where patience proved to be the winning formula. Sean hit the lip consistently to make the best of the conditions and landed a some nose rides on the reforms. Rob C on the other hand stuck to his formula of lurking out the back and tailing his board on some nicely formed right handers. Simon C executed some radical cutbacks to take third whilst Tom concentrated on the walking and trimming approach to take out the minor placing's. Overall we were stoked to get a day in with some quality yet demanding surf mixed with pleasant weather and great camaraderie . We have decided to hold the Presentation Function at Dee Why RSL Cub on May the 1st and look forward to seeing you and your friends and partners there. Sean and Simon C are working on the new logo and it should be finalized soon. Look forward to Rob Coriel taking over the catering this year and providing us with some gastronomical delights at our monthly comps. Many thanks to Phil Callum who has worked
