Luke, Kim and Leon had Daddy Day Passes and were intent on giving reigning champ Rob Borg a run for his money!  So following the obligatory fill ya gut with pies from the local bakery we were up and running for the 30 minute trek along corrugations, salt bush tracks and finally onto semi soft sand.  Jackie gave the X5 a bit of a workout while Mr Trucking transporter Kim cruised up in his Lexus, the 3 Amigos plus one brought up the rear in Rob’s fancy Pajero with fancy number plates etc. Mike and Gus cruised up in their vintage Tercel.   Naturally Leon had the biggest wheels ever on his beloved Landcruiser which made for an in depth conversation with all and sundry about the merits of this wheel verses that wheel etc.

With the wind turning from a strong SE to a more southerly breeze the waves with any wall to surf were few and far between.  Talk about being in the right place at the right time for the majority  of us spent most of our heats trawling up and down the comp site looking for that dark mark on the horizon; sorry folks it didn’t really happen.

The age divisions were just as competitive with Trey, Jackie, Luke, Scott, Kim and Les taking our their respective divisions.  It was a fun day with thanks to Mike Ruthkay for his tabulation, Scott for hauling the trailer up the beach, Eric for being the ever so nice Contest Director and for everyone else who made the effort to endure the heat, flies, white sand and almost forgot great friendship.
