Fastest Man on Sand - Round 4

“FASTEST MAN ON SAND” BEACH COMPETITION SERIES – SEASON 2009.2010

The inaugural “Fastest Man on Sand” beach event series concluded with Round 4 held at Mooloolaba on Sat 20th Feb.

Open to Surf Life Savers from around the world the Fastest Man on Sand attracts "THE BEST OF THE BEST ON THE BEACH" to contest their skills across eight age groups. The re-introduction of the Fastest Man on Sand as a four round series had been done through Surf Life Saving QLD to encourage members (and potential new members) to embrace the beach event/s side of Surf Sports competition.

There were approximately 650 Nipper members from U11 - U14 who competed in the morning on this day with competitors travelling to compete from the Gold Coast to as far north as Mackay, and then the U15-Open competing in the afternoon.

Our local Dicky Beach Surf Club had approx 55 members competing with some great results throughout the day. The pointscore tally is accumulative over the four rounds, and Taron Najilepsy from U11 took out the title for U11 Male Sprint.

Over 200 images have been uploaded at www.sunriseart.com.au for this event, but the gallery is password protected for DB Nipper Members.

Here are a couple of my boy.... (gosh ~ just a proud mum!) :)



All the kids had an awesome day with many great results, & thankfully the weather stayed fine enough not to grizzle!!

Our next main event is our Branch Carnival in March which is being hosted by Dicky Beach Surf Club.
