HPC training with Gary Cruikshank continues to push PSC surfing to the next level
Gary Cruikshank (ASA national head coach) spent the 23rd to 26th of Jan with our club members. 34 club members from Marlon Harrison aged 8 to Darren Bird aged 46 participated and all benefited from the tips Gary gave each person to improve their surfing technique.
This is the fourth or fifth year that Gary has come down and we can see the impact he has had on this standard of surfing for the individuals who had been involved in that period including Caiden, Mikey Barber, Adam Morris, Josh, Hayden and Angus, Lachy, Grant, Tom and Mike Antonie, Tom Lyon, Darcy, Mitch Hayes, Sam Chalmers, Georgia, Matilda etc.
The waves were fairly good each day with the first three days at Gunna and Rye and Australia Day at Pt Leo which worked well as this day was set aside for the Groms. The ability to use the facilities at the clubrooms for Video analysis and advice is simply awesome.
Everyone who we have spoken to have raved about the benefit of having such a great coach come down to spend the time. Remember not to forget what Gary said - including your homework for the Groms!!
We will look to see if we can get Gary for a full week next year given how strong the demand was this year... |

PSC Contest 2 Completed : Sat 10 Dec
After a couple of stormy induced delays we finally ran the 2nd club comp for the 2011/2012 contest year. Conditions started almost perfectly - 3 to 4 foot, straight offshore, partly sunny - just unfortunately the banks were not great!! With looming storms and onshores in the afternoon we chose first carpark due to the availability to 2 to 3 banks to get the contest done in record time... Read FULL REPORT ›› |

Final PSC Contest Completed
We finally wrapped up the season on Saturday the 30th of May in fun three foot waves at first carpark. It was a great day at the beach with perfect weather and not much wind about. It was a pretty intense day as we had a large number of competitors across all divisions and due to the aggregates being so close there was a lot on the line for those title contenders in each division. The final results are going to be withheld until Presentation Night (30th of July) along with the final aggregate places. There looks to be some pretty tight finishes after this weeks results!
A huge thanks again to everyone that helped out on the day. It was really good to see a lot more people judging throughout the day, it made it a little bit easier for us with people being more willing to help. Thanks to all the committee this year; Lachy, Rod, Jane, Morgs, Tim, Amy, Mikey, Grant, BMC, Nath, Dexter, Reidy, Ross, Ronnie, Dave, McDevitt and JP. Also thanks to everyone else who put in an effort to help throughout the year, although it may not seem like much, it really makes a difference!
Congratulations to everyone for sticking it out all season despite having many shuffling of dates and locations. Although we didn't get amazing waves, each contest still seemed to deliver an exceptionally high level of surfing. It should be a great next season again, hopefully with better waves, and it should be interesting to see what happens with the junior surfers from this year, considering they already have a very strong presence in the open.
Cheers, Luke |
4th PSC Comp completed Sat 2nd April
Comp 4 ran on Saturday the 2nd of April in more than contestable waves
down the beach at Gunna. With dawn patrol at Rye, Gunna and Flinders,
the strong SW wind made for miserable conditions pretty much
everywhere except for off the fence which had very contestable waves
due to the solid rip. El Presidente even managed to get his one barrel
per comp out there..not surprising! Just a reminder, we ran this day
because it was the backup date for the last weekend when we didn't
run, and as voted by the majority of the club at the AGM, we MUST run
on the backup weekend.
It was a big effort getting everything down the beach, and one again a
huge thanks goes out to everyone who got there at 7am and helped cart
stuff down there. Thanks also to everyone who judged on the day, as we
were generally very short and people had to judge several heats in a
row. Despite all this, the day ran relatively smoothly and the rain
managed to hold off surprisingly.
There was once again some quality surfing by all divisions, especially
in the open and juniors. It must be recognised that the Juniors have a
ridiculously high standard of surfing and each one of them has the
possibility of winning a comp, it's great to see. The open division
once again had the dominating 8-10 surfers and this has made the race
for the title super close. It's now a showdown between Hayden, Lachy,
Caiden and Mikey. I won't bore you with the stats, but lets just say
that it is all going to come down to the line on the next comp after
Easter (30th April). The ladies opted to go around to Flinders, which
was probably a good idea. A big thanks to Harry and the parents who
all helped out getting them around there. The other divisions all had
straight finals as the weather deterred many people despite the fact
that the waves were better than they are on an offshore, sunny, two
foot day.
Results & photos now online! Thanks again to everyone that helped
on the day, especially Tim Antonie and Lachy once more, these guys put
in a huge effort, so next time your at the beach give them a pat on
the back or give them a set wave (not that they don't get them
anyway). Enjoy Easter and we'll see you on the 30th of April. Cheers,
LC. |
3rd PSC contest finally done at Rye...
Saturday the 19th of March saw us run our first comp since the end of November. Although it was forecast to be pretty solid, we managed to luck into a fun reform at Rye carpark. Without holding a comp in over three months, everyone was keen to get the ball rolling and we saw the first heat in the water around 7am. The waves were generally pretty good until the tide started to get pretty low in the arvo and the sea breeze came up. However, we have definitely run comps in much worse waves before!
At the end of the day winners included Caiden Fowler, Darcy Malesa, Joel Wooky, Georgia Fish, Cam Stynes, Tex Walker, Tim Antonie, Evan Kingston, Ronnie Gorronge and Josh Caratello. There was once again some really solid surfing put in by some of the junior surfers in the open rounds. Congratulations to Georgia who managed to make the quarters, knocking out a few blokes along the way. Also to Caiden for his maiden and well desreved Open win..good to see you out of the semi's mate!
A special thanks goes out to everyone who pulled their weight on the weekend and for those who helped set up and pack up. Also to Lachy, Tim Antonie, Dexter, Critter, Mitch Hayes, Will Antonie and Skip for helping out when things got pretty hectic! It would be really good to see a few more people hang around at the end of the day to watch the finals as they were all super close and generally will be the best surfing of the day! Also, just a reminder of our rules on registering and not showing up..it's basically a two strike rule, so if you register for the open and don't show up for your heat on two occasions (which a few people have now done) you will not be able to enter the open heat draw for the rest of the season as it wastes spots for those who really want to surf/the opportunity for younger surfers to have a crack in the opens. Cheers, Luke. |

Season 2010/11 Underway : Comp #1
The first contest kicked off on 6th November in small but fun waves at first carpark, Gunnamatta. With a diminishing swell, sunny conditions and not too much wind, the day was a good one at the beach.
It was great to see a big turnout and some new faces as well. The party afterward was a cracker and from the looks of things, everyone was enjoying themselves thoroughly, especially to the sounds of Final Cut. Still have a few people who surfed on the day but didn't register or put in a registration form without money. Could those people please bring their money to the next contest, otherwise they won't be able to surf! Next comp scheduled for the 20th of November. LC. View Photos and Results ›› |

PSC Presentation Night 2010
Saturday July 31st saw the conclusion of a fantastic competitive season for the Peninsula Surfriders Club with their annual presentation evening being held at the Gunnamatta Room, Mornington Racing Club. The event celebrated the season's aggregate place getters and champions efforts in a great social setting, with all who attended enjoying a great meal and entertainment from live musicians.
The Club's premiere divisions - OPEN Men and Women - were won by Calum Nicolson & Georgia Fish, with rising stars Grant Williams & Mike Antonie winning the Cadet & Junior divisions. Nicolson was easily the most consistent surfer of the year with an event win and 3 other strong results.
Both Nicolson and Fish (as well as all place getters) were presented with personalised commemorative photos rather than trophies by contest directors Tim Antonie and Liam McCafferty, and both winners placed extra attention on Jai and Morgan for organising such impressive awards.
Nicolson best summed up his feelings by thanking the club and its older members for paving the way for surfing on the Mornington Peninsula, and stated that it "was his proudest achievement in surfing so far."
Other division winners incl. BG Brendan Aitkins, O/28 Shannon Creasey, O/35 Peter Watts, O/40 Tim Antonie, O/50 Mark Harrison, O/50 Ronnie G.
Other awards included : Best Judge Tim Dexter . Best Committee Member Morgan Winch . Best Club Member Melissa Dart-Harrison . Most Improved Matt Barrett . Achievement Award Sam McOrist . Encouragement Awards Christian Hall and Tabitha Vockler
The surf gods smiled on the club for the 2009/2010 season, and 4 out of 5 aggregate contests were completed in great waves. As well as running the 5 aggregate contests, the club enjoyed a successful season with a third place finish at the Victorian teams titles, a fund-raising effort of over $10,000 for Challenge - supporting kids with cancer, and rennovation work to their impressive clubhouse.
Club President Lachy McDonald thanked all who attended the evening, and finished by saying, "Thanks to our sponsors for the year - Ozmosis, Everist Timber & Bon Accorde Reality, and a big congratulations to Cal and all the other division winners... lets carry this momentum forward and continue our quest towards taking back the state teams title on Sep 4th at Torquay."
