Boardriders start cadets division
Umina Boardriders will have a cadets-juniors division for under-16s this year, as well as its the existing Opens, B Grade and Masters divisions.
The move comes with the election of a new committee at the club's annual meeting.
About 20 members attended the meeting and elected Shane Roser as the president, Verity Roser as secretary-treasurer, Drew Courtney as club captain and John Coates as contest director.
The committee has decided to introduce a cadet-junior under-16 division to "balance things out", according to Ms Roser.
This would enable younger surfers who were reluctant to join the B grade division to still surf competitively, she said.
The club will also combine the registration day with its first comp day on Sunday, February 20, and is looking for sponsors over the next few weeks.
Individuals or businesses interested in sponsoring the club should phone 4341 9202.
