Crusty Old Surfers Battle the Conditions at the Maili Masters.

Over 70 crusty old surf dogs, nearly 40 of them in the over 60's divisions, battled the northerly conditions and the arch enemy, blue bottles, at Pensioners Point, on the Gold Coast over the 5th & 6th of December. No matter how demanding the conditions were, it was noticed no one departed the contest early to go home and mow the lawn.
Not only were the competitors getting on in years but so were some of the boards. Cameron Byram turned up from Brisbane with two 50's style wooden surfboards one 14ft and the other 20ft. Not to be out done was John Standing who competed on a replica 1940's hollow board. It was John's first competition since 1973 and Camerons second ever contest.
In keeping with the nostalgia spirit of the event was a unidentified competitor who incured the wrath of livesavers for surfing in the patrol area during his heat. Apparently something that use to happen frequently in the 60's.
In the end there were some winners so we will mention who they are so they can have bragging rights for the next 12 months.
