the Occ factor

Massive turnout for the monthly coffs boardriders meet yesterday. Yes the sun was shining, yes there were fun clean waves about, but I think the big draw card was the opportunity to surf with and meet Occy. That’s right former world champ and the most liked surfer ever; Mark Occhilupo was at Diggers beach yesterday much to the stoke of the local grommets. He was pushing the grommies into waves, signing autographs, posing for photos and being quite a good sport about it all.... read the rest of today's post HERE

Epic autumn weather all day! If you didn't get down the beach today, I feel really sorry for you. With a moderate north-west breeze puffing for most of the day the back beaches were the go. Clean shoulder to head high waves with smooth faces were just there begging to be surfed on. The Coffs boardriders were luckly enough to have their monthly comp on today and Macauleys was the venue. I was there for the early rounds first thing and got some of the junior and over 28's finals later in the afternoon.

Andrew Lindsay making something of crappy conditions. I think he won the over 28's.

The Coffs boardriders had their monthly bash on Sunday at Diggers beach. There were OK waves in the morning but the north-easterly came up and made a mess by the time the finals started.

I only took a few stills this time round. I opted to get some video footage instead. I plan to get some filming done each comp and put together a little video for the final presentation night.

 

The new "Super Groms" division has been a massive hit!

coffs boardriders opener

The Coffs boardriders held their first meet of the year today at good ole Diggers beach. The swell arrived just in time after a week of near flatness. This pic is of Matty Wyborn going to town on a nice righthander in his first heat. Our website will have the full gallery up over the next few days. I'll keep you posted through this blog or join up to the weekly newsletter of our surf website to get it all first.
