Grommet boardriders hold annual presentations

Grommet Umina Boardriders concluded their surfing year with an annual presentation day on December 17.

President Mr Brett Saley said he couldn't be prouder of the level of surfing shown this year.

"We had 68 registered members this year, aged from four through to 15, all of whom have improved as the year has gone on," he said.

This year's club champion was Billy Pritchard, who "surfed exceptionally well this year", finishing narrowly in front of Darcy Roser and Presley Shanks.

Kloe Bible was the girl's champion, just in front of Olivia Pearson and Lillie Howlett.

Liam Ayton took out the Junior Boys, with Baxter Shanks and Nate Saley finishing second and third respectively.

Encouragement awards were given to Jett Hagen and Sylvie Pringle, while Slater Dearie was awarded Club Person of the Year.

The group will start again on February 5 at Umina Beach.
