The new Contest Director for the Crescent Heads Classic, Warwick Latta, rang to tell us the dates for the 2009 Crescent Classic. It will run from Wednesday to Saturday, May 27 - 30. This will allow surfers to enjoy the big 20th Anniversary Party planned for the Saturday night, and then head home on the Sunday.

The 2008 Old Mal Nationals were scheduled for Sept 6-7, but unfortunately the swell was too large, and the contest was cancelled. They did run a few heats on the Sunday at Racecourse, but it wasn’t the real deal.

The 2009 Old Mal Nationals will now we held on a Friday and Saturday, Sept 4, 5, and there will also be an Over 45s this time.
