Surfing New South Wales - Surfing Southside

Surfing Southside

DONE & DUSTED; The Southside has been run for 2010 on a day when most would have expected it to be a complete washout. A south swell with 10 to 12 ft waves pounded most open beaches on the east coast on Saturday - but one little secluded beach escaped the fury - MALABAR......

It was the first sanctioned event ever to be held at Malabar and the first time the Southside was held there in its 47 year history - a completely unique location and special treat for all who surfed or spectated.

Qualification in 11 divisions decided important State Title berths for surfers young and old. Stand out performers on the day were Wylie Moyes who put back to back wins in the Open Mens division together along with Jake Scott who stepped up an age division to win the very competitive under 18 Boys division after dominating the under 16's for the previous two years. As can happen at Malabar the conditions did deteriorate later in the day on an outgoing tide and local elder Con Paris showed many why he is one of the most respected competition surfers in the area - making the Open Mens final as a 40 year old - a very note worthy performance...

A B I G thanks to our sponsors; Rip Curl Bondi, Souths Juniors & Randwick City Council - without their generous support the event would cease to exist

A huge thank you to Paul Moffat co-contest director and coach and mentor to many of the areas finest emerging young athletes in the sport of surfing. And also the incedible support of the team at Surfing New South Wales for contest infastructure - Mark Windon and Sue Duffus both providing direction and assistance to ensure the event maintains its highly proffessional standard.
