Surf rowing team competes

The Ocean Beach Under-19 boys rowing team competed in the Peters Surf Boat Series at Blacksmith's Beach in Swansea on Sunday, October 28, winning all three of their races and coming out on top at the end of the day.

The team was using new oars for the first time in competition.

"The boys are showing early in the season that they have what it takes to win the series," said rowing assistant Therese Carroll.

The team will compete in upcoming events including Battle of the Boats, ASRL Open, Young Guns and the remainder of the Peters Series.

They will also compete in the State Titles which will be held at Ocean Beach in March next year and the Aussie Titles held at Tugun Beach in Queensland in April.

The Ocean Beach Open Men's A Team also performed well on Sunday and finished the day in first place.

The Under-23 girls team finished third on the day in their first event for the season.
