Surfing Report

Saturday 9 November 2024

Although the surf was small and messy, there were plenty of waves, and the Shore surfers reported that it was a fun session. The coaches chose a bank in front of the lagoon, and the boys started the session with a 25-minute free surf. 

In preparation for next Term’s Battle of the Boards, the surfers were challenged to get their waves under time pressure. In the first heat (two minutes), no one was able to catch a 1-point wave and return to the beach. After reassessing the best spot to paddle out, where to catch a scoring wave, and how to get the required score, nine surfers were able to complete the challenge. The heats then increased in time, but the wave score required also increased. Congratulations to Sam Pockley, Henry Peters and Sam Chan, who were the only surfers to get the required score in all three heats.
