April 2023 Comp

April Comp

Sat, 15 April 2023

This comp is COMPLETE

Saturday, 15 April we’ll take a second crack at the April comp after small slow conditions stopped us last weekend..

The call will be made at 6:30am latest and posted to Instagram and the website. (Look for the green ‘It’s On’ labels)

With the slow-waves start to 2023, we’re planning on running on the 15th if there are waves, despite it being school holidays. Holiday’s is always a consideration in running the comp, and in this case we are trying to accommodate as many members as possible instead of calling off the whole of April. If there are waves on 15 April, we will run. If there are no waves on 15 April, we are cancelled for the month, and will look to pickup an extra comp later in the year.

Setup, BBQ and Backdown:

U18 girls and Over 50’s

Opening Rounds start at 7am.

Main Bank : A-grade
Second Bank : U10’s

Post Event get-together.

After the event we’ll be heading to our sponsor Harbord Hotel to celebrate the Best Boardrider’s Club in the World.

First Saturday of each scheduled month is contest day.

  1. If Saturday is CONTESTABLE, we WILL run.
  2. If Saturday is NOT CONTESTABLE, we will make a call if Sunday is an optional alternate contest day.
  3. On Sunday, we will make a call to run or not run.
  4. If Sunday doesn’t look better on forecast, we will schedule for the following available non-public holiday weekend. You will have to re-register for this.

If the following available weekend is not contestable, that month’s contest is cancelled.

Conditions are always changing so we need some flexibility.

We WILL run the comp if conditions are contestable, even if it might be better the next day.


If you can’t surf on alternate days, you should contact Gumby on email or Instagram before 8pm on the night before the contest starts.
