Our second last event (#5) in the 2011/2012 season is coming up this Sunday, 1st April (changed from the 8th due to Easter). This will be at Long Reef Beach, starting at 7:30am and we'll be in front of the lagoon somewhere.

The conditions are looking epic again - medium swell, off-shore winds and plenty of sunshine.

Here's an estimated schedule for the day (don't forget daylight saving finishes on Saturday night):

- 7:30 am - Setup, competition entries accepted
- 8:00 am - Cut off for surfing competition entries, heats drawn up for surfing competition
- 8:20 am - Round one of surfing competition starts
- 10:30 am - Round two of surfing competition starts
- 11:30 am - Final of surfing competition starts
- 12:00 pm - Women and junior divisions paddle race starts
- 12:30 pm - Open division paddle race starts
- 1:00 pm - Presentation

Andre will no doubt be providing a scrumptious feast as per usual.

All ages, sexes and levels of ability welcome. Single comp membership available (you don't need to sign up for the whole year).

Hope to see you on Sunday at Longy.

Sorry buddy, cant make it this weekend. Up north. Hope you get some good waves...

Often thought of coming down and having a go at one of your comp's but im definatly not a competition standard surfer. The guys in the videos that get posted are ripping. Just wondering if that skill level is standard or are the videos generally of the final.

When you say "all levels of ability welcome" I think I should come down & give it a go but.................

Definitely do it - come down and give it a go. The vids are generally from the final and we have a few beginners (and injured kooks) who are enjoying building their skills. Got to start somewhere. Everyone gets to surf at least twice with the new repercharge round.

With the forcast looking on the small side will be a good first comp to go in and meet some new people etc a good day had by all....
Also being the contest director looks like we will be crossing the lagoon mouth and heading to the southern side towards the poles as there is a good bank down there and should keep us away from the main peak straight out in front of the carpark which will have us some space to move... With no dramas

and great food!

Sorry guys, Andre can't make it this comp so I'm on "food" for this comp. Don't like your chances of getting anything fancy.

The bars set pretty high Casso !!! I'm sure with all that free time you have had from not surfing you must have been doing heaps of eating and cooking !!

Yeww cant wait..

Looks like there may be a few waves in the morning, it may be a few out though

Oh and don't forget the clocks change tonight, so unless you like sitting around in the dark and want to get there at 6.30, change your alarms/clocks tonight.

Another great comp with some awesome surfing. Shame about the agro in the water but it made for a memorable event

Thanks for a great day. I'm really glad I came down, the comp was alot of fun & organisation was great.

Looking forward to the next round.
