Season kicks off this Sunday!

Post by Roundhouse »

Just another reminder,

The SKC season kicks off this Sunday, 7:30am at South Narrabeen.

Forecast is looking reasonably promising with 3ft of ENE 11 sec swell and light winds early on.

Drag anyone along that hasn't been in a while.

Leave the kids with grandama, actually, bring the kids...even bring grandma. If there's enough grommets we'll have a heat for them, hell, we'll even put on a heat for gran.

See you there!

Thanks mate.

Pop in for a surf if you're ever passing through.

Same goes for everyone.

I see you guys have a few comps in Cronulla. What ever happened to seeing Shark Island in the mags. When I was there it looked like a Body board wave, but I'm sure it would be a great wave for kneelos. Do you guys get out there or am I thinking of a different area ?

Yeah it's more of a bodyboarding hangout these days. The shark island challenge is usually a pretty good spectacle. In the right conditions the local stand-ups still give it a good go. Don't know the last time a kneelo got out there. Might have to get out and give it a go myself soon.

The break 'Ours' further up the road at Kurnell has been getting most attention the last few years.

The free surf mag 'smorgasboarder' did an article on cronulla recently. Think there was a few shark island photos, but none featuring a kneelo unfortunately. Could be an opportunity in there somewhere.

SKC & WAKA gathering - this Sunday 6th May - Coledale 8:

Post by Roundhouse »

Howdy all,

As set aside in our calendar, this Sunday 6th May 8:30am, we're having an SKC & WAKA gathering at Coledale just south of the Royal National Park (originally penciled in for Narrabeen).

Format will be an all in comp to crown an individual winner then a club vs. club tag team event.

This is open to everyone from both clubs, those wishing to join the club(s) for the first time, or just wanting to come for a free-surf and/or chat/beer.

If you're running late, get lost on the way, or score a flat tire, you can call on 0413 837 206.

See you all there
