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!
