Longboard club back in the surf after long break

Geraldton Longboard Club will be riding the waves this year after taking a break last season.

Club president Jon Olden said the club was planning its first monthly event for the season on Sunday at Coronation Beach before having a sausage sizzle, and would update people if the location changed because of conditions.

He said the club could lend boards to people who wanted to try longboarding and also supply a lift to anyone who did not have a four-wheel-drive to access the break.

The club was focusing on the social aspect and getting people involved in enjoying epic conditions.

While not expecting a huge swell, the club was planning to have fun anyway. “Bring your swimmers and bring your partners,” Olden said.

“It’s going to be a beautiful weekend.

“We’re more likely to get sunburnt than we are to catch waves, but it’s about having a good time and getting to know each other.”

The club’s season was cancelled last year. The club will be posting updated information on its Facebook page.
