Surf Beach Boardriders held its monthly competition at Secret Harbour on the weekend.

About 110 surfers tackled 1.5m offshore waves in the club’s sixth competition of the year.

Evan Perry placed second in the over-40s category while surfers Harleia Loose, Lochlan Bestford, Liam O’Connor and Jesse Molloy also performed well in their categories.

About 15 brave children, aged six to 10, competed in the push-in division accompanied in the water by their parents.

While the category was not judged, participants received a medallion for their efforts.

Members April McPherson and Josh Harrington also performed well after placing fifth in the open women’s category and fifth in the over-40s category at the recent Australian titles in NSW.

The club will hit the waves for its next competition on September 16.
