2009 NATIONAL OLD MAL TITLES

Report from Robyn Harvey - Crescent Head Malibu Club

• The Crescent Head Malibu Club hosted a very successful 2009 National Old Mal Titles Friday 4th & Saturday 5th September.
• Friday's conditions were very trying as the northerly winds really chopped up the surf.
• The southerly came through early Saturday morning and once more the Point at Crescent saw some beautiful waves feathered by off - shore winds.
• 6 Divisions were hotly contested with "young gun" 20 year old Matt Chojnacki from Long Reef taking out 2 Divisions.
• Young Crescent Head local Anthony Adams borrowed an Old Mal and blew everyone out of the water with his hang ten and brilliant manoeuvres in the Under 40's 63'-68 Final finishing 2nd behind Matt.
• Many thanks to Jenny & Geoff from the 4 Shores Holiday Park for a great venue for the entertainment on the Friday night with Richie Gudgen performing some great pieces from the 60's & 70's.
• Wine tasting with compliments from Yarren Wines and a sausage sizzle made for an entertaining evening.
• The competitors draw being a Jye Burns 9'8" retro 3 stringer board was won by Lynden Riley.
• The Show & Shine saw John Scholten win the overall trophy with a very rare Keith Paul prestige model surfboard out of the factory of Peter Clarke.
• Most original pre 60's D Fin surfboard was won by Bruce Pate.
• Dean Nicholson's George Rice board originally ridden by his Dad won the best Original 63-68.
