1/8/2010 – 1st Comp gathering in Huzza carpark

Back in 2010, after watching the number of kids surfing around the Gracetown area swell, local Rhys Jones enlisted the help of fellow surfing fathers Lucas Englert, Christo Edwards, Peter Stanlake and Dave McCashney to brainstorm the idea of a Junior Surf Board Riders Club.

And so it began….. Straight away, the emphasis for the club was “Good Family Fun”

The Club held its first ever competition way back on 1^st August 2010, focussing on participation, encouragement and family involvement. Final results from our 1^st Comp were;
