Surfers gear up
Umina Boardriding Club is gearing up to compete in this seasons' Surftag Series.
Umina will join other board riding clubs including Macmasters, Avoca, North Shelley, Wamberal, Norah Head, Catherine Hill Bay and Merewether in the NSW North qualifier event.
Umina Boardriding Club member Drew Courtney, currently in Europe competing on the Association of Surfing Professionals World Tour events is looking forward to the new season's series.
"We all love getting back to our local board riders' club to team up and put back into the club," Mr Courtney said.
"It's where all Australian competitive surfers begin their careers and it always feels good to give back to the club in these team events that are full of passion.
"I can't wait."
The top four teams from the NSW North event will qualify for next year's Surftag National Final at North Narrabeen in February.
"With the introduction of the NSW North event, the series continues to grow and attract new teams," said Global Surftag representative Mr Steve Harrison.
"The big thing this season will be the increased teams at the national final which will result in the biggest and best line-up of Australian surfers this summer."
