The first comp for this season will be held this Sunday 19th of Feb at our Twin Waters home base. Registration and membership sign on will be required on the day so we will need everyone there at 7.30 am. Membership is $70 (including t-shirt) for an ordinary member, $35 (inc t-shirt) for juniors, $105 for family membership (inc 2 t-shirts). Details for the years proceedings will be available on the day. Best of all we have an excellent forecast for Sunday with 1 metre of swell and light winds. Perfect way to kick off the season and your best 6 results will go towards the overall championship so early points will be in high demand. See you all there Sunday.
Heads up, Cribb Islanders!
Due to the scheduling of the Post Code Challenge, our next Surf Competition has been shifted to 22 May.
The new date allows Our Members to take part in the PC Challenge without losing valuable Cribb Island Boardriders Club Competition points.
All other details remain the same.
Sorry for any inconvenience, but we though this was in the best interests of everyone!
The Dead Beat Daddios continue their season of autumnal Sundays at the Hendra-Nundah Bowls Club, the spiritual home of the Cribb Island Boardriders Club.
The Sunday Sessions feature bar-price drinks, a free sausage sizzle, footy on the TV, barefoot bowls and guest appearances from our up and coming stable of musicians, including Pat on drums and Charlie on vocals (pictured).
The Daddios have launched their much-anticipated album, Dashboard Elvis.

Don’t forget THERE IS NO COMP IN APRIL due to school holidays.
The next round of competition is May 22, at our usual haunt at Twin Waters.
Testing conditions meet competitors in Round 1
Season 2011 got off to a windy start on Sunday, with the messy surf and rips testing the off-season fitness of first round competitors.
It was a good turnout, given the conditions, with Dale doing a great job getting the beach set up 7am.
Rick and Ziggy took up where they left off in 2010, with their usual competitive antics, promising a season of fireworks, mind games and toe-to-toe contests (including, we hope, in the surf).
As usual the juniors seemed to excel in the conditions, and this looks like being the division to watch in 2011.
Thanks to all who coughed up outstanding fees, though some might have forgotten in all the excitement.
The Cribbies’ auditor is currently reconciling fees paid against competitors, with Scott “Enforcer” Hill briefed to undertake some debt collecting later this week – so you have been warned!
Club President Rob Mactaggart reckons the injection of new members has really lifted the level of competency.
“With the new members on board, we hope to create a few new forums for Club communication, including a Facebook site, so we can better communicate changes to the location and timing of events to make sure we get the best surf at the best breaks possible,” Rob says.

A surge in Junior and Family memberships for 2011 has set the stage for some cracking competition this year, according to the President of the Cribb Island Board Riders Club, Rob Mactaggart.
The first competition for 2011 is scheduled for this Sunday at Twin Waters, and Rob reckons the injection of youth will help keep the club dynamic and fresh, while also providing added incentive to the older members.
“Nothing fires the competitive spirit like seeing a youngster bobbing up in your heat, and I am sure the young pups want to knock off some of the Club’s veterans, so the result is sure to be some hot competition in the water,” Rob says.
Memberships are open for 2011 in a range of categories, including the Family package. For more information, check out the Membership section on the website, or contact Jim or Rob.
The 2010 Cribb Island Board Riders Club Champions have been announced, with a mix of old stagers, young stars and consistent performers taking the prestigious trophies.
More than 50 Cribbies and families packed the picturesque Hendra Nundah Bowls Club for a great afternoon for music, bowls and tall tales.

Club President Rob Mactaggart led the way with some searing guitar up front of the club’s own band, the Manilows, ably backed by the more sedate Dead Beat Daddios.

In between, Rob announced the winners of the Club’s first Championships:
In the Open division, a clear winner was Dale Fielder, whose regular Bali surf trips and duels with razor sharp coral reefs paid off in the challenging Twin Waters slop.

In the Masters, the judges could barely separate a tight field, with John “Ziggy” Zigliotto taking the points after some serious psychological warfare saw him prevail in a comp that was fought as much in the car park as it was in the water.

Not to be daunted, Rick Bird came out on top in the much-maligned Longboard division, crediting his success to his new mental approach to surfing.

And in the Juniors, two outstanding surfers went toe-to-toe all year, and nothing could spearate them at season’s end. Congratulations to Fergus Mactaggart and Angus Hill.
The future is in good hands - Angus and Fergus share the spoils
It’s official!
