What a fantastic event this is with nearly 1000 competitors from 38 clubs competing.  The competition is fierce and the standard extremely high.  Tom Moulai did the club proud winning a bronze medal in the beach flags and beach sprints - well done Tom!.  While Ricci Harker and Max Marshall performed well in their finals for the surf race and board race respectively. Max was in 2nd place around the buoy line and then a wave came through pulling another 4 athletes up into contention. Max just missed out on a medal at the finish.
