The Curl Curl club hosted a great event, with nice nor-east windswell waves all day, and the barbie going non-stop.

As well as Open, Junior, Women and Over 55 competitors, clubs had to field one over 100kg surfer, plus there was a heat where surfers had to ride a BiC.

For something like the eighth year in a row, the very strong Manly Longboard Club came out well ahead, followed by Palm Beach, Freshwater, Curl Curl and Long Reef.

Days like this are what longboard clubs are all about ... beautiful summer weather, surfable waves, and great company. Well done to the Curly crew.
