The moment EBC took out the 2011 ‘King of the Beach’ title! captured by Greg McCarthy.

With Club President Paul ‘Chook’ Holbrook embracing Wylie Fowler and Glenn Pringle with arms in the air, EBC took their first ‘King of the Beach’ for quite a few years. Wylie and Pring’ were the experience in the A-team partnered by young guns Joel Etherington, Joey Sear and Connor O’leary, along with round 1 reserves Jake Stalker and Akemi Oleary. The B-team which helped to qualify included Nathan Rohr, Joe Wallace, Shane Campbell, Luke Sullivan & Chook.

Everyone absolutley ripped and did their jobs to perfection! A fantastic team effort to fend of a champion squad from Cronulla Sharks Board riders who have dominated this event over the years. A massive thanks from all the surfers to the huge support and cheer squad (led by Muffin), EBC truly is a great group with a strong family core.

The perfect way to end another awesome year at EBC! Congratulations everyone! See you at the presso Sat 10th Dec.

Rbteam rider Joey Sear took one of our demo boards for a spin one sunny spring morning last week! Its a little 5’7″ Free-Range Egg model. He was loving it!.. We managed to snap off a few pics and thought they weren’t too bad… hope you like!..

Well thats all folks! Over the weekend in tiny little waves RBshapes BoardJam:2011 held its final event. Thanks to all those who came down over the last 6weeks to try some boards or just have a look or a chat. Congratulations to all those who scored themselves a pair of CARVE sunnies or a PEAK wetsuit just for coming along! And a HUGE thank you to those companies plus Futures Fins for helping out with the events!

We didn’t have the best waves this year at any of the events unfortunately, but that did give people a chance to try some grovel boards and those that made the most of it came away enlightened to the possibilities of a better planned and expertly advised custom quiver.

We had a great time at all the events this year, ‘the Jesus Pro-Am’, the ‘Dominelli Ford Womens Classic ‘and the ‘Tradies Surf Masters’. It was awesome to meet some wonderful people over the last 6 weeks and great to share some of our know-how and experience with people who may not otherwise have had a chance to catch up with us. We hope you had a great time too, and if you didn’t have a chance to get along to any of the events this year, don’t forget We’re always available for a chat and your always welcome to borrow any of our demo board absolutely FREE!

A huge weekend of surfing, cars, music and beach culture, descended upon Cronulla for the third annual Tradies Surfmasters event, drawing over 70 competitors vying for the prestigious 2011 titles. The crew of elder statesman battled it out in both Long and short board divisions offering a spectacular show on the small but contestable conditions.The short boards ran all Sunday and were fortunate to have a bank that just held it together through the tide and wind changes. Winners took home $250 RBshapes vouchers and the premier 40′s division winner scored a brand new RBsled!

It was Cronulla local John Shimooka who took the win in the premier 40′s division.

Making an appearance in the over 40′s final was local Brad Whittaker after winning the over 40′s Longboard final.

Bateau Bay’s John Shmidenberg took out the 45′s and finished a close second in the 40s.

David Gall Surfed well all day and finished with a 4th inthe 45s.

In the 50s final Craig Naylor (surfing and left) rose above his competitors taking first place over Donald Giles 2nd, JohnSkinner (right) 3rd and Mark Gobbe placing 4th.

The over 55′s finished the day as the rain came in and Ray Mahoney (Backbutt) won the final, followed by Cronulla locals Mark Dewhurst and Jon Lavers and Paul O’Donnell (Crescent Head) coming in 4th.

The Big Kahunas in the over 60′s delivered Forestville surfer Col Barry into first place, closely followed by Harry Lamb from Barden Ridge.

EBC was canned on Sat as the beach was just crappy closeouts. That didn’t stop the boys from surfing though! Most of the crew headed straight out Vooey and scored some insane barrels! Aaron Girgis was on hand to capture all the action for your viewing pleasure… enjoy!
