Our competition team for the Longboard Crew is in need of new riders in all age categories. Longboard, shortboard, SUP, tandem, paddlers and cheerleaders are needed.
The annual elections were held August 10, 2011 at Marios Mexican Restaurant with a full house. Seven were nominated to seven positions and after closing nominations all nominees were duly appointed to the board of directors.
Father Christian Mondor accepted his honorary lifetime membership. A blessing of the Longboard Crew and a prayer for Gordie were given by our surfing priest at the bequest of Chuck Linnen. RIP Gordie.
The September meeting was well attended and the movie was enjoyed by all. The new board was introduced and Fae Fruitwala was elected as our new secretary. Tim McCollum has assumed the role of treasurer. Thank you to Tim and Fae for stepping up to help!
September we had the Annual HB City Contest for residents. The Hurley Pro at Trestles also went off as well with some all time surf! The crew planned for the upcoming surf season (October and November) with great anticipation seeing all the great surf in September.
October did not disappoint! The crew had the end of the year award ballots prepared and announced the Northside Classic for November. A small team was going to attend the Tourmaline CSC event but the deal fell through at the last minute. Oh well, we would have had to surf for Long Beach! The event was held without a team from HB.
November we held the Northside Classic in extremely challenging conditions. Results will be announced at the December 14th Christmas Party. End of the year awards for 2011 will also be presented at the party. Tim, Tom, Sean and Gary represented the Longboard Crew at the Thanksgiving Weekend CSC Tournament in La Jolla Shores. The team mhad no finalists but finished 8th overall which was the teams best finish for the year. There were ten clubs attending the event in clean 2'-4' surf.
Huntington Beach Surf Clubs have a long history.
