Surfers make finals
Seven surfers from the Ocean Beach Malibu Club competed at the 21st annual Mal de Mer Longriders Mal Muster held at Rainbow Beach, Bonny Hills over August 5, 6, and 7.
Six members progressed through to the finals on Sunday, August 14.
Brent Olsson, the only member not to reach the finals, said he still came home a very happy man, winning one of three brand new Malibu surfboards being raffled.
Richie McClelland was the standout performer for the club, winning the over-50s title with a display of tube riding in the four to six feet waves on offer.
Mark Williams placed sixth in the same final, but was unable to find the right waves to challenge Richie in the final.
Angela Smith placed fourth in the women's division while Bryce Williams also came fourth in the juniors.
In the mystery final, Craig Coulton managed third place with Chris Irwin placing fifth.
