60`s TRADITIONAL STYLEMASTERS. SAT 7TH JUNE 2008
This years event will go ahead thanks to MIKE DUDLEY and TOES ON THE NOSE. It will be at saunton as it is the best longboard wave in england and perfect for those long peeling right handers.

Toes on the nose are providing the teeshirts for everyone who enters and mike dudley is putting the prize money up.

We have a few old pre 1970 logs but could do with a few more, so if you have one and don`t mind us using it on the day please let me know.

It is an open event so if you fancy a crack at the only contest of its kind give me a ring ASAP. There will be a club bbq on the sat evening after the contest weather permitting or a curry in the white lion.

Hotdoggers DVD - Trip to Morocco.
28 club members went to Morocco this February. Andy Haworth has made a 40 minute film of the trips highlights. There are also 2 bonus sections, one being a slide show with contributions from various photographers on the trip (thanks to Mike Stevens in particular) and the other is a short 'wipeout' section for a bit of fun.

The film will be available at the first club contest from Andy or Kelly Haworth. We are proposing that those that went on the trip that want a copy pay £3 which will all be donated to the clubs funds. Any other member that would like a copy can have one for £5, with £2 going to the club and the other to cover Andy's production costs.

There is a short trailer of the film which is best viewed on Andy Haworths Facebook page. So, if you're already marked as a 'friend' on Facebook, just go to Andy's page and check it out. If not, register on Facebook and then go to Andy's page. Its also on Bens website, (but not a great copy for some reason) available at www.benhaworthsurfer.co.uk

Ben wins at Noosa
Ben Haworth, 18 years old from North Devon has won the Mens Open Amateur division of the Noosa Festival of Surfing in Australia, beating 5 Australians in the final. The Noosa Festival of Surf is the largest surf contest in Australia attracting over 600 competitors. This is the first time that Ben has traveled to Australia and entered this prestigious event and a win of this magnitude places Ben as a serious competitor on the international stage. It is also the first time that a British surfer has won this division. This is the first season that Ben has moved out of the junior category and is a fantastic start to his career in the seniors.

Also I'd like to take the opportunity to say a huge well done to those guys who have come to the aid of the countless grockles who have got caught out this year. I hope we can maintain the pressure to get lifeguards back on the beach at Saunton.
