So the last few weeks have seen me get a little lazy with the blog updates! This is due in part to the amazing run of waves we have had - there is so much to write about, but being so buggered by the time I come in to the shop most days, I just don't get around to it.
We saw an impressive run of South swell and clean winds for the last week of the school holidays, where most of the groms who chill in the shop regularly got barreled and launched as much as their hearts could desire, as well as a few of the older crew being onto some lesser known breaks that awoke from their slumber.
Straight after that we saw the second round of the State Titles held in Cronulla, alongside the Barrels,Boards and Breakdowns music festival in the park behind the event. Emerald and Cronulla were well represented, with Emerald riders Azza Glossip taking out the State DK division, with Glen Sullivan finishing in the final to take out the overall State DK Title. Also Emerald Bodyboard Club riders Dane Woods and Sam Strachan making the Final of the Juniors division. Brendan Ryan who is also a member of the CBC took out the Masters division. Add to that Emerald rider Jon Capilli taking out 1st in Senior mens, as well as 2nd in the Pro DK division, and I'd say Emerald riders had a quite successful State Titles!We would like to extend a big congratulations to all the riders who entered, and special mention goes out to Diarmid Heidenreich who organised the best event the State Titles has seen in a long time!!!
Add to this another very large swell that has been hitting the Sydney region, with the first few days being very strong onshore, but then cleaning up from late Saturday arvo until now, and you will understand why many East Coast surfers have very big smiles spread across their mugs! Various breaks around the region have been absolutely pumping, one of which was Shark Island. Notable standouts have been Andrew Lester, Alex Leon, Nick Ormerod, Shaun Pyne, Sam Strachan, Josh Kaihe, and young guys Jack Baker and Jeremy Wirth, who have definitely stepped it up a notch in the last few months as well!
Below are a random mix of shots, contributed by Sam Venn, Alex Ross, Elliott Gooding and Steve Jones, from various days and various breaks around the Cronulla and South Coast areas. There have been just so many shots coming in to our email, I do apologise to the many many people who I have missed in this update!
