TOORAK COLLEGE WINS GIRLSURF 2009 - Pt Leo

The day started off with all of the teams gathered at the Point, willing the waves to start breaking. We decide to put the first heat out at the point. A large crowd gathered on the rocks that gradually was threatened by the rising tide and the ever increasing SW wind. At the end of the heat, Prue decided to move the competition around to Crunchies to get away from the wind. The next two heats were held there but the swell was getting smaller by the minute. The final was held back at the point with a couple of fine performances from the girls. In the end, Toorak A was victorious for the second year in a row. One of the classic scenes on the day was the greeting that the two unsuspecting people from Nutrient Water received when they arrived. The girls swarmed around the Eskis like a plague of locusts.

The Surfboard by Clyde Laird from Peninsula Surfboards was won by Brigette Slavin - Padua

The 2009 competition will have a maximum of 5 teams in the water for each heat. That means that the number of teams will be limited to 15. Each member has to catch two waves and then belly into the beach to tag the next member. The highest scoring 5 teams will compete in the final. We intend to finish the competition and presentations by 3:00pm. Cost of entry is $84 per team. At the moment we can only accept one team per school. But things may change depending on the number of teams that enter.

All contestants will receive a competition T-Shirt. Prizes will be awarded for a variety of categories in addition to the Perpetual Shield for the Champion Team. Food and drink will be available on the beach for staff and competition helpers.
