♦ The John Dory

The crowds are back in the water today. Bondi was packed and so was Tama @ 7am. A fun little left at Bondi as well as a right shorey was looking fun if you are a super grom. It's a great day for the learners to get out there and have a go. Tama was very popular also with loads of frothers getting amongst it. Maroubra still has a few punchy ones in the North corner but was a long wait between drinks for the sets. Nice smooth conditions thanks to an all day forecasted NW wind...Ooh yeah and a tasty land temp of 20 big ones.....Enjoy.

♥ Frothers Crystal Ball

Another weekend delight it looks like. It well slowly get smaller for the end of the week, but this is before another large spike in size comes on Saturday thanks to a Low that is due to intensify off the coast of NZ late on Friday. Looks to be another weekend of coastal dashes. The winds will continue to be out of the W/SW although there may be a chance of it turning onshore from the South at some stage on the weekend.

Summers jump off....7.45am

♦ Bondi Boardriders Brad "Vland" Valenti Memorial

The Boys from Bondi payed tribute to the memory of Brad Valenti on Saturday. A member of the Bondi Boardrider's club, who passed on tragically in his late twenties 13 yrs ago. Brad earned his nickname "Vland" on a trip to Hawaii with the club in the 90's where he apparently ripped the inside section of surf spot Velzyland on Hawaii's North shore. He was known for keeping an eye out for the groms in and out of the water during his time.

The open final was won my none other than local up and comer Perth Standlick with Richard Carter in 2nd place with Ian Wallace in 3rd place followed by Eddie Riles in 4th. The Junior was taken out by Bronte's Christian Quinlan and the Cadets was won by Jack Campbell from Bronte as well. Well done.
