Noosa Wrecks and Relics
Wrecks & Relics – Finished for another year!
The Noosa Wrecks & Relics Over 50s Longboard Get Together was held in challenging but consistent offshore conditions at Castaways Beach last weekend. The competition ? now in it?s 6th year – attracted over 100 older surfers from Australia and NZ. And while the ?wrecks? might be getting on in years, the quality of surfing across all age divisions proved they can still surf up a storm.
The Noosa Malibu Club hosted the event and early feedback has it being called ?one of the best organised, best value for money competitions in Australia.? Another comment received said: ?the atmosphere, camaraderie, enthusiasm, and Longboard culture was terrific.? And it is these qualities that keep the competitors coming back year after year.
Noosa Malibu Club President Dave Dunn took out the Old Mal final ? surfing his pre-1968 Malibu while other Sunshine Coast locals, Peppie Simpson & Contest Director Paul Winter, took out the Women?s Over 50s division and the inaugural Stand Up paddle event respectively.
