A long period south swell hit Long Reef Beach on Saturday morning, producing some large powerful surf. The winds were good, but the banks made finding good sections tricky. The Shore surfers ran technique drills with all boys having a go and challenging themselves in the powerful waves.

Nathan Stanmore and John Rajaratnam were the stand-out chargers taking on the big bombs and searching for the barrel. Unfortunately, Morgan Elvy’s board didn’t survive the powerful waves and his morning was over early.

The ‘groms’ – Hamish Warden, Ben Jones, Reef Nagle and Harry Murdoch-Tilmouth sat on the inside re-form for a bit, getting some good waves close to the beach. Will Hoy, Sam Pockley and Duncan Cowan were all over the break catching both lefts and rights. 

The turn of the morning went to Noah Kordek with a big snap on his backhand. It was great to see the boys have a real go in the big waves.
