Congratulations to the Shearwater surfing team who competed at the North Coast Independent Schools surfing comp held in Sawtell last week, with special mention to Year 11 student Sumari Geitz who made it to the finals and finished fourth in the open division.
The students had to wake up early and embark on a three-hour drive from Mullumbimby to the surfing location, just south of Coffs Harbour. Fortunately, the weather and swell conditions were favorable, with a sunny day and consistent 2-3 foot swell throughout the day.
The competition was divided into four categories for boys and girls. Year 7 students Pax and Graham represented Shearwater in the under-16s category, while Sumari and Year 10 students Nish and Jed competed in the open division. All of them surfed skillfully with good flow and power. Many thanks to the students' parents for their support in preparing them for the competition.
