Tension was high in the days leading up to the most<br />
highly anticipated Over 50s event on the longboard<br />
calendar, the Noosa Malibu Club’s 8th annual Wrecks &<br />
Relics get-together on 23 & 24 June.<br />
After a few weeks of grinding sets on all the points and<br />
Indo at the river mouth, the ocean had transformed into<br />
a millpond. But the Gods smiled and Saturday dawned<br />
to pumping knee-slappers breaking across the bank<br />
between the Groynes.<br />
Contenders gathered from as far away as Tassie, Victoria<br />
and New Zealand, with a sizeable contingent from<br />
northern NSW. Everyone pitched in to get the gear to<br />
the beach, the Noosa Navies, the Burleigh Boys and the<br />
Caloundra Crew leading by example.<br />
This year two unique age divisions were introduced,<br />
the Over 60 Women and the premier Men’s Over 69ers,<br />
each attracting four hot contenders and creating much<br />
speculation on the expected outcomes.<br />
The surf improved as the tide pushed in throughout<br />
the morning. After the first heats, everyone put in their<br />
teeth and munched on their fruit, muesli, yoghurt, eggs<br />
& bacon. After more surfing, delicious hot curries were<br />
served to warm everyone’s cockles as the younger men<br />
continued their battle for a place in the pre-final heats<br />
the following day.<br />
