NSB APRIL COMP MOVED A WEEK FORWARD DUE TO JUNIOR REGIONALS

Hello all you freaks, there is plenty of news to get through and 1st up is the important info regarding the next club event. The date has been moved forward a week to ‘’ SUNDAY 4TH APRIL ‘’’.Yes it’s because of the Junior Regional’s that will go ahead the week after.
The Junior Regional Title is a great opportunity for all you grommets to show what u have, The event will see our groms go against their own age groups from other clubs. Those who qualify will be selected for the state team. The divisions are under 14’s, Under 16’s Under 18’s Boys and Girls.

The Qiuksilver Pro provided NSB Surfer Kai Otton the perfect opportunity to unleash his wild back hand attack and the Goofy-footer was ready for the challenge ahead in 2010 and it showed in this approach to the 1st instalment of the ‘’Dream Tour’’ With Ottz coming away with an epic quarter final finish.

Our man became world news, shocking world Champion and hometown hero Mick Fanning

In the fourth round of the event


Otton took an early heat lead posting a 7.73 (out of ten) and followed up with an excellent 8.03 narrowly edging out Fanning who, despite posting the highest wave score of the heat an 8.97, could not catch Otton who advanced into the quarterfinals.

For Ottz it was where his run would end at the hands of Bobby Martinez but who cares , it was a solid start and one that he can build from.

Otton said

‘’Its great to beat Mick and to get a result this early will go along way to building for the reminder of the year. Im not worried about anything but surfing at the highest level each time I hit the water. The new rating system has put everyone on notice to perform and I’’m frothing as it put that added pressure on you.

All you North Steyne Crew should get onto www.aspworldtour.com every event and support our boy.

Go get them Ottz, bring on Bell Beach in April

Sophia Bernard Wins Wahu U/15's

SHE started the year just wanting to improve her results in competition heats, hoping to pick up an event win here or there.

And North Steyne grommet Sophia Bernard has done just that, ending the year in perfect fashion at the Wahu Surfer Groms event on the weekend.

Sophia mastered the tricky, 1 metre swell at Curl Curl Beach to take out the competitive girls under-15 division.

A WELCOME RETURN HOME FOR DAYYAN NEVE

North Steyne monthly contest provided plenty of exciting moments and it must be said the total lack of quality waves didn’t stop any of the fun on what was another brilliant day out.

Beau Mitchell took on the contest directors roll for the first time and what a great job he did with everyone raving his ability to handle the pressure of having a thousand questions thrown at u for 6 hours straight, bet u Beau sleep well that night.

The day also saw the return to the club ranks of WCT surfer Dayyan Neve and I don’t know what it is but he presence seems to get the competitive juices flowing within the open ranks.

2010 NSB season kicks off with epic day of surfing

It might have been unseasonably chilly for October but the cold weather didn’t stop the masses from enjoying what was a fantastic start to the new season at North Steyne Boardriders .

A host of new faces , joined seasoned campaigners in taking on the great waves that rolled into the Carlton street line-up and it must be said it had that new season vibe to it as everyone searched for that good result to kick start the year.

After a frantic start to the day in which the rego’s were sorted and everyone purchased their new NSB Jumper, which I might add came in handy with the weather, it was game on as all divisions went for broke.
