2014 Ohana Surf Classic Special Edition Elouera Sharks Newsletter Chairman’s Report – 10th February 2014 Welcome back to Nippers at Elouera, we have been blessed with some beautiful weather and perfect surf conditions. This has allowed us to complete all of our education and all of our point score events. So we have some educated nippers ready to take part in the competition part of our season. We still have one Point score day gazetted on the calendar, though we can change it to a Rescue and Relay fun day. The Competition season kicks off this weekend with the Sydney Branch Championships followed by the State Age Championships at Umina Beach on the central coast. Good luck to all the nippers competing, we hope we have good weather and conditions. Just remember that when you are competing that you are representing the whole club. We hosted the hugely successful Ohana Surf Classic last weekend, we were blessed with sunshine and excellent surf conditions. All of the kids had smiles on their faces as they competed. Special mention and thanks to the wonderful people from Ohana Ocean Athletics, Brett & Kim Richardson. Thanks for your financial support and all of the time, effort, passion and commitment you guys poured into the carnival. Everyone loved the carnival atmosphere around the stalls and the racing in the senior Taplin was first class. Thanks also to our other sponsors that supported us on the day with either gifts or hosting stalls including; McGrath Mazda, Riley Balsawood surfboards, Kellogg's Nutrigrain Ironman, Kracka surf craft, Elsewhere Barber Co, Games2u. Thanks to all of the Elouera People we received overwhelming response for help from everyone in the senior section and all of the nipper families. It was an honour to be an integral part of a great community event. It’s great to hear that some of our U14 nippers are performing rescues whilst they are on their first season of patrol. You guys are a credit to your family and the surf club is extremely proud that you have learnt some skills over the years at nippers and are finally putting them into action. Good luck for the remainder of the season.

U/11 Development Camp I was one of the lucky 9 people from Elouera to be picked to go to the U11 Development Camp at Deer Park. It was really exciting all going there by bus and then given a cabin. The Elouera girls were split up into 2 groups. I got to go with the Wanda girls that I am now really great friends with. Every morning we were woken up really early to do fun swimming races in the pool. We did many activities such as rock climbing, archery, canoeing , waterslide and more. My favourite was abseiling. We watched movies, played trivia and played a basketball shooting game that I broke the camp record in! We also learnt CPR and tube rescue and on the last day we had a club competition. The Elouera group got to know each other well and worked together as a team. It was a long, tiring and hard 2 days but I was honoured to be chosen. Thanks SLSA and Elouera! J Marnie Vimpany www.eloueranippers.com.au OHANA SURF CLASSIC WRAP! From cyclones to clear skies……the Hawaiian Surf God ‘Kanaloa’ shined upon Elouera Beach with a record number 850 competitors signing up for the Ohana Surf Classic 2014. With perfect 2-3ft sets rolling in, the day was set for success…. Coming on board as Major sponsors were Ohana Ocean Athletics and Maxum Watches, along with a host of supporters such as Kellogg’s, Riley Balsaboards, Kracka Surfcraft, Games 2 U and the Elsewhere Barber Co. So with a mountain of prizes, including our Major fundraising raffle thanks to McGrath Mazda the carnival got off to a Kracking start. We were soon joined by our KNG stars for the day Wes Berg, Ali Day and Courtney Hancock who looked like they had just as much fun as all the nippers. With celebrity - parent races and KNG signings the day was actioned packed. And who could forget our own roving reporter Alex Clarke AKA 'DJ Clarkey', who did a great job in interviewing the KNG stars and firing the tee shirt launcher. To cap this day off we had the Open Taplin with Wanda taking out the 2k major prize for a second time. Personally, I had allot of officials that could not stop raving about the quality of the water safety, food, organisation, assistance, and the PRIZES….. Wes Berg, Ali Day and Courtney Hancock have asked me to send photographs to Kellogg’s because they want to come back next year - (that says it all). Most importantly we do it for the kids, I didn’t see a frown all day, nothing but sunshine and smiles. In all the carnival could not have happened without the amazing support of everyone at Elouera, who all came together to show case a club that prides itself of doing things different, in being unique, a club that sets the trend, so to all and there are many of you ‘Thank You' for making this event happen.

UNDER 11 GIRLS www.eloueranippers.com.au UNDER 11 BOYS It was a great fun day had by all. Ohana was a great success for the club and, I think, how nipper carnivals should be run. I would like to thank the following parents for their support of the event. Tracey, Alison, Lorraine, Di, Sonia, Meridie, Lucy, Rupert, Darrin, Greg, Pete, Scott, Darryl, Rupert and Anthony. I would especially like to thank Megan and Jo for helping out even though their sons were not competing. Top effort that. This is a great stuff from the U11 parents and what makes the club and group keep going. North Cronulla Ironperson The boys all performed well with major results being 1st in the All Age Beach relay where we were represented by Bailey and 2nd in the All Age Board Relay where Robbie had the U11 honours. Both boys had tough sections of their race but did the club proud with their efforts. Kay Jarvis, Zac, Ben and Harrison got 3rd in the swim teams and Ethan got 3rd in the sprint and was unlucky to not place in the flags. Both teams in the Board Rescue Robbie/Jarvis and Zac/Ethan destroyed their opposition in the heats but had bad luck in the final and missed out on placings and was a classic example of the luck in surfing. During the month we have spent time doing flag skills and baton changing before we have done swim and board point score. Thanks to Ethan, Dylan and Olivier for helping with flag skills. Zac, Jarvis and Ethan shared the honours in the water events and top efforts from Harrison and Ben in the board and Ben and Declan in the swim. UNDER 12 GIRLS Ohana Carnival What a sensational day for our U12 Girls, by far the most successful carnival we have had as a team, with everyone walking away with a medal…… CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS Congratulations to Caitlyn, Taylah, Lauren, Neve and Jess for doing this Ironperson Carnival. The Surf was terrible, with very very difficult conditions. We all came away with a bit more experience and some strong results. Unfortunatly for Jess she also came away with a black eye, from where she got hit by her own board!!!! Keep up the hard work Girls UNDER 13 GIRLS “Prizes and Medals everywhere the only thing left to do was stare.” And stare & smile we did at 10 of our amazing U13 Girls who competed in the largest surf carnival in the galaxy. With Kareena and Mel taking the controls the results were bound to be out of this world. On the hot blistering sand with beads of glistening sweat running down their faces and the glare of the sun playing havoc with their eyes our girls had some stiff competition in the sprint relay. Hmm!!! Actually we didn't but it sounded good as we were the only girls sprint team and even after dropping the baton twice and falling over laughing our girls came 1st and took home some gold bling and a fantastic watch. Way to go girls..... In the individual sprint there were more outstanding results with all our girls getting in the top ten. Verity 1st, Taleah 2nd, Ruth 3rd and Keziah 7th. Not satisfied with that in the flags Taleah made it through to the second round. While Taleah cheered from the side Verity took out 5th, Keziah 3rd and Ruth 2nd. Meanwhile in the water area the girls were ready from the get go. After a confusing start from one of the officials changing our swim team the girls took off like lightening to a tree branch. Grace, Caitlyn, Ruby and Eden charged out of the water to take out the Bronze bling with Maggie coming out at the end carefully ensuring everyone had come to shore safely. Abbey was able to get Silver in the team she had been moved into. To our Beach Girls, congratulations to our Beach Relay team coming home with Bronze medal well done Taylor, Jaime, Ella and Gabbie. And congratulations to Ella – 2nd in sprints and 3rd in flags. In the board rescue Caitlyn and Maggie were up to our teams To our Water Girls, well it wasn’t our most brilliant day on the usual tricks with a bit of rocking and rolling while trying to complete the event. Although they didn't win the race they boards, but we had all our success in the swim teams events had the biggest smiles which is worth more than gold. In the individual board Abbey came in 7th. With Caitlyn, Taylah, Jess and Bronte taking out Silver and then Lauren, Neve and Kelsea, helping out Abbey in the U13’s A load of fun was had by all the girls.

The result was Connor, Michael, Josh and Sam 2nd and Max, Cameron H, Cameron W and Brody 3rd. Looking forward to Ohana 2015 Seeing it is quite a while since I have written a report, not a very good Age Manager, just wanted to mention a few things prior to giving the report on the Ohana Carnival. As you all know Jake Evans, Chris King and Connor Levings represented Sydney Branch and of course Elouera, at the branch titles prior to Christmas. they all put in an unbelievable effort with some outstanding results. Well done boys everyone at Elouera are so proud of you.. We have had quite a number of Champo days, too many to give you all the results, but all boys are having a go and giving their all. great to see our beachies putting in a good effort in the water events, and the water boys are really pushing the beachies in the sprint and flags. It will be interesting at the end of the season to see the final results. All in all I hope all the boys had a great day, had fun with their prizes, and we all look forward to the Sydney Branch at Maroubra next Sunday. They all showed great mateship and dedicated teamwork. Thanks to Andrew Evans, for taking down the water placings for me. See you at Maroubra, I'll be there with bells on.
