Finalist pics from the last contest-sorry about the Micro's
A pumping Wanda right rip bowl greeted todays surfers as we made the trek up the beach for contest #8-it meant no toilets, food, water or coffee but it was offshore all day.Wins for Harvey Richards first up in the U13's over Sonny and Flynn Lloyd, Slater Young took the 10's win with Koru snapping at his heels, Sonny claimed the U16 crown over Alessandro and Veage just claimed the O60 title in the last seconds with born again Gally pushing the field into second.In the Women's , Brianna Batterham claimed her first win with a dominate display putting Grace into second with Sam Babister third.The 45's was a victory to Greg Brown with Fishkiller riding the lefts almost snatching the win with Fitzy third.In the red hot Opens field Haydo hit hard early with a 6.9 making Jordan and Jay chase with 6's, he then scored a 7.4 on his last wave to put the result out of reach .Thanks to the helpers for packing up even though we might now need a new tent!

Congratulations to Ian (Fishkiller) Spencer for his runner up place to Paul Dupuy from WA in todays O55 Australian Titles at Sandon Point- Fishy ran a great heat just missing a last gasp set with a minute to spare, the waves were pumping . Bummer for Haydo who was given an interference in the O30 semi, tough call for a wave the other guy didnt even catch.
Good start to the 2026 Aussie shortboard titles at Wollongong this morning for our Sharks men-Hayden Blair taking a win in his first 040 heat and progressing to the quarters and the same for Ian Spencer in the O55's.Haydo is seeded into round 3 for his 030 campaign on Thursday.Jay McKenzie has to do it the hard way finishing behind Robbie Page and having to go through a round 2 qualifier.
"Today Cronulla Sharks Boardriders snatched the 2026 King Of The Beach board riders club battle at Elouera after the Head Judge reviewed Power surfer Jay Browns final score giving him a 6.33 which was enough to eclipse Elouera’s Shane Campbells 5.17 to hand his team victory by an amazing .04." Congratulations to the Cronulla team of Flintoff, Jay Brown, Haydo, Sonny Leong and Scarlett Gray- you couldnt have done a better job leading into our 50th year celebrations and I personally want to thank Rich Brown and the team for the effort.The Queen contest didn't go as well (congrats to Sandshoes), but thanks again to all the women who stepped up when we couldnt field a team- we are better for the experience. Up Up and dates for next years 50th will drop ASAP!
