SURFING

Lennox All Girls

The All Girls Surfriders Club Lennox Head held their club round on Sunday in lush sunshine conditions. There was a two-foot semi-clean easterly swell for a good part of the morning, then the waves were wind affected mid morning for a few of the finals making for challenging bouncy conditions.

It was really nice to have Steph Single, recent winner of 3 Star Pro Junior event in Tahiti, there to hang out for the morning and with The All Girls Surfriders which was her first boardriders’ club. As always we totally appreciate all the help everyone was able to give during the day including judging, flag changing, timer, hooter and packing up.

Well done to everyone who surfed and well done to all the finalists.

Div 1 1. Victoria Marano 2. Ebony Santamaria 3. Roisin Carolan 4. Jane Wescher.
