TEAMS CHALLENGE PORT MAC 2010

so the annual port mac teams challenge was on again over june long wknd.
i took the year off this year thinking it may help our chances.

but at the end of the day results are not important, the important
thing is that bodyboarding was going down. and a team was there
representing our club. As always i was assured the fellas had
a rad time and well they scored prob some of the best comp waves
ever in port. for pics and story check out tristan hogans blog.

Teams Challenge is also underway in Port Mac this weekend, where the main focus is always surfing, stretching and healthy living.

South Coast Team Challenge - MYSTICS

The south coast tri club challenge was held a month ago down at Mystics beach on the south coast. This was the second annual comp with our club, maroubra and tama competing in a teams style event to see who is the coolest, calmest and most collected club of all. The format was simple, 10 guys from each club, all surf once in a 25min - 3 man heat. The end of the day the points are compiled and one club is the victor.

Our team was as follows, (in order of ankle size)
1. Tom Bolitho
2. Jesse Mulham
3. Matt Puerto Pike
4. Tim boreham
5. Jared Delamont
6. Martin Smith
7. Adrian Harper
8. Guy Williment.
9. Dan Reynolds (DK)
10. Josh Ruttyn (DK)

the waves were borderline unsurfable. 6-8ft beachbreak madness. the thing was the waves were perfect if u could survive the paddle out. I have huge amount of respect for the groms that paddled out, jared, tom and jesse all risked their brittle frames in the name of team glory. and well, they did it. they surfed insane and brought it home for us. Honorable mentions must go out to Adrian Harper with a barrel that had the whole beach screaming, and Tristan Hogan with a ridiculous back flip that made me fear for his ribs.

Sydney Bodyboard Club, WE WON!

March 28th, 2010

When hiring movies, be wary of hiring sequels. Because generally in my opinion they let you down, are hard to sit through and can never be as good as the first one.
A few good things to look out for are:

a) are any of the original actors appearing in the sequel? if the answer is no then put the DVD back on the shelf and try asking the fat guy behind the counter for some advice on new releases.

b) have you heard of the sequel? if you walk in and say "wow i didn't know they made a sequel to Point Break?" then you can probably assume it sux more than walking barefoot through kings cross.

c) what section is the sequel in? if the sequel appears in the 3 day hire section then it's a big sign that it may have never have lasted more than a week the overnight hire department for good reason.

d) What is the title of the sequel? if the title contains any of these terms then you know it's destined for an early grave - "reloaded" "i still know what you did..." "cruise control" and the list is too long.

Anyway i hope with these tips you are able to steer clear of hiring the dreaded sequel, however remember that there are always exceptions to any rule. For example i'm a fan of the classic number after the original title, lethal weapon 2, 3, and 4. Or Beverly Hills Cop, 1 and 2. But again they pass the above guidelines, they still have the original actors and were often bigger budget than the first.

The Second SBC comp on Sunday had all the great makings of a good sequel, the same stars, the same format the same people sponsoring it. The only problem was the waves they were, shocking! lets hope the third installment does a little better.

Sunday 7th March 2010

Dear Sydney Bodyboard Club and it's esteemed members,
I am sorry for the late post. I realise it is now the 22nd of March, and the comp was a lifetime ago. I realise that this is not the first time i have not posted on time, and i realise that many probably don't bother to check this because i do not update it regularly.
But as Bob Dylan once said, these times are a changin'.

As of next comp the results will be up the following day, regardless of how sunburnt, sore and generally tired i am. And if the comp is at whaley, (which it is next weekend on the 28th) i will march up to my house and give you live updates of the day .

Because i am aware that this blog has one of the largest followings of any blog in Sydney *

Ok . on with it.

(*please not that the author of this blog is known for his outlandish statements which are rarely backed up with any evidence and is known for not even mentioning anything bodyboarding related on a bodyboarding based blog)

For the women's heat, i truly hope everyone saw how amazing Rani did. I was personally inspired. For those that don't know Rani is wheelchair bound, and well i will keep it short. But the fact that Rani got out in the water regardless of what speed humps life has thrown her way. We should praise her efforts and for me it is a reminder of how dedicated some people are to not just bodyboarding but to life itself.

So if anyone gets photos at the next few comps this year it would be awesome if you could email them to me so i could put them on the blog,
shrink them a bit and send them to tim@plasticpeople.com.au
