Hi BLC Members and Friends

Thanks for another great comp last Sunday. Was a hard day with some average banks at Burleigh due to all the sand pumping at the moment, but am sure it will settle in the next few months. The heats were really competitive and a super high standard with some great scores in all heats being locked in!

The results were:

Final:
1st Mick Nielson
2nd Blair Abernathy
3rd Danny O’Brien
Last: Nik Babs

First in the 2nds Digby
First in the 3rds Perri Close
First in the 4ths Mick Tait

Shout out to all those members that could make it to Black Hops after the comp for a catch up, the Pizzas took a little long but that did give Phil Smith a bit of extra time to down few 8% Super Hornets!

October comp will be on the 18th of October yes I know it’s the 3rd week.

Don’t forget to get your Xmas party and Presentation night payment in for the 6th of December – Burleigh Surf Club Function area starting at 5.30pm, cost $30.00 / adult and $20 for juniors. Please pay into the BLC account: BSB 034-238, account number - 166954

Thanks
Nik
P.S. from Danny O'B: Attached are some photos from Sunday. Big thanks to Tia for shooting the final!
Videos to come as well .... soon .... ish.

Hi BLC members and friends,

Thanks for a great comp on Sunday with some fantastic surfing on a nice little left hand bank. For those of you that couldn't make it we had a beautiful sunny offshore day with fun 1ft - 2ft waves at First Ave Burleigh.

Dom had the wipeout of the day on a big bommie set out the back and there was a really tough final with Hosea and Lulu going wave for wave!

Check out the picks below that the Matthies team took for us on the day

The Kids Are Alright! An outtake from the 6-page article on the Noosa Fest 2026 in the current Issue 126:
Finishing one and two in the Womens Logger Pro - on the inside is 14-year-old runner-up Luana Matthies from the Gold Coast, and out the back is the 20-year-old winner Sophia Culhane. A Waikiki local, Sophia finished second in this division back in 2020 when she was just 14. Pic: Al Morrison
