Calendar raises $1370

The Ocean Beach Malibu Club has raised $1370 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia through sales of its 2012 nude calendar.

This was reported after the club held its first surfing contest for 2012 at Umina Beach on Sunday, February 5.

Four times women's club champion Maddie Cook made a return after a two year absence, along with her friend Sally Oman who managed to defeat the current women's champion Cyndi Zoranovic in their round two heat.

Men's club champion Kai Ellice-Flint continued his good form from last year to win the day from Hayden Emery and Bryce Williams.

Rob McCaughan put the wind up a few of the more fancied surfers by winning his first round heat in fine style but found the going a lot tougher in round two when he surfed against all other first round winners.

Another surfer to return to the club after many years away was Paul Brandon who also won his first round heat.

The most improved surfer for the month went to the club's major sponsor Tony Irwin who won the heat of the thirds.

The club's next contest is scheduled for Sunday, March 11, at Umina.
