Well here we are at the completion of the second year of the newly launched Supergroms Summer series!

Over the Supergroms season we had over 120 kids join the PSC with 70-80 grommies surfing each series round. Our largest divisions being Under 10 and Under 12 Boys and Girls which is wonderful. Many of the grommies at the higher end of the ability spectrum have surfed in the PSC club contests and State level events during the year which is fantastic!

Despite having trouble aligning contest dates with swell and tides we managed to complete four fantastic contests. Three of the four events at ‘Crunchie Point’ and the fourth at ‘The Point’. Traditionally we have had sign up on the day for these events but trialled with great success the online registration of the Wednesday prior to the event with contest heats and schedules being posted on the Friday night. We will adopt this format for the coming season. In addition we have made the start times more flexible to fit the tides not just Sunday morning which has also been a positive step that we will continue to the coming season.

Last weekend we had the Presentation day for the Supergroms 2010-11 summer series. A late wintery autumn afternoon at the clubrooms with bonfire and BBQ which was fantastic. We had a good turn out of grommies and families which was wonderful to see.

A huge congratulations to all Supergroms aggregate winners and those that placed in the overall aggregates. All places received individually crafted trophies courtesy of the creative Phil Trigger whom gave left over resin a new life. Thanks to amazing donations from all the companies we approached all aggregate place getters received a goodies bag full of great prizes. The prizes included deckgrip, legropes, sunglasses, clothes, caps, dvds, keyrings. Etc. Thanks a you to our enthusiastic sponsors: Quiksilver, Trigger Brothers, Balin, Live sunglasses, Analogue, Far King Wax, Ann Fish and Surf yoga videos. See the aggregate results below.

The kids (See list below) that were unable to collect there prizes on the Presnetation day can email me and organise to collect there trophies and gear. Also the first and second place getters will be notified regarding collecting there Live Sunglasses as soon as I get them!

A huge thanks to Quiksilver we also recieved 2 complete sets of small contest rash singlets. This is a fantastic gift to supergroms as a rash tops were stretched, massive, alcohol tagged and faded making it very difficult to fit the kids and see out in the water. The kids felt like pros wearing them!! A massive thanks also to the Lucas family (Pete, Tash, India and Charlie) for donating a large dome beach shelter/tent that could also shelter us all in the worst storm. The Lucas family offered to donate the shelter as they felt there kids got so much from the program that they wanted to contribute to the greater picture. Thanks heaps!!

Well done to all our grommies whom had a great go this season. Overall we have seen the standard of all competitors improve out of sight, which is fantastic! We are very proud of you all.

A huge thanks to all the parents with which a series of this nature could not be run. Thanks to everyone for cooking the BBQ, judging, tallying, water safety, grommie preparation and all the other amazing jobs you do on the day.

Finally would like to thank Lachy Mc Donald and Peninsula Surfriders Club. As club president he does a fine job and entrusts me to run the summer series without question, which is wonderful. Also Thanks to Robbo for making the clubrooms look amazing for our preso. Special thanks also to Harry, Piper and Marlon for allowing me the hours and energy to spend on this project and Skip and Claire Easton for providing ongoing support in too many areas to mention.

SUPERGROM LOGO COMPETITION

We have a little competition running over winter. We would like the grommies who would like to have a go to designing a new logo for the Supergroms for the coming season. We would like to put this on our t-shirts next season.

So on those bored chilly days anyone whom would like to have a go that would be fantastic.

Entries close 31^st August 2011

Email all entries to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or mail to PO Box 862 Mount Eliza VIC 3930.

A panel of selected judges will pick the winning logo.

The grommie selected with the winning logo will win a season membership with Supergroms for 2011-12 summer series! WOW!

The coming summer series will commence in October. We are planning to run all 4 contests prior to Christmas to avoid the January, February, March chaos of the Surfing Vic contest season. We will send out membership in September.

Keep surfing in winter and enjoy the disappearing crowds. Look forward to seeing you all keen and ready to go after the September school holiday.

Cheers
