2013 / 14 SLSNSW Masters State Championships
Ocean Beach, Umina

15-16 March 2014

We would like to give a huge thank you to Peter Grimes for all his coaching work, mentoring and enthusiasm throughout the year.

The ski paddling group trains regularly throughout the season and shows great camaraderie, quick wit and a very healthy appetitive for competition.

Some weeks the race offs for team selection are more heartily fought than the actual races themselves.

At this year’s Masters State Championships, there were 15 competitors from Narrabeen Beach.

Final results

Overall, we scored 39th place on 23 points out of 60 competing clubs. Not bad for a team of young people who only do board and ski events – not beach or boat events.

The following Narrabeen Beach competitors came within the first six places and contributed to our point score (…not that everybody else didn’t do really well, also):
