Round 6 – Super Groms, Clean Peaks + Another BBQ Sell-Out!
Round 6 delivered another cracker of a day for Newcastle Bodyboarding Club, with clean conditions, great peaks and plenty of action from the first heat to the last.
The Super Grommies stole the show and it was their day to shine! With fun, clean peaks offering plenty of opportunity, the youngest crew were absolutely frothing. There were big smiles, plenty of waves and some impressive surfing from the next generation of NBC riders.
A few of our Super Grommies even took the opportunity to step up into the U16 division, testing themselves against older riders and pushing their confidence to the next level. Watching these young riders challenge themselves, have a go and back themselves is exactly what the club is all about. The future is looking very bright!
The ocean was putting on a show too. Dolphins were jumping through the lineup all morning, adding a bit of wildlife entertainment between heats. Then, as if that wasn't enough, a beautiful big whale cruised past to say hello, giving everyone on the beach another reason to stop what they were doing and look out to sea.
And once again, the NBC BBQ crew absolutely delivered.
Following the success of Round 5, expectations were high—and the crew didn't disappoint. The BBQ was another complete sell-out, with the addition of some much-needed pumpkin soup helping keep everyone warm and fuelled. The hungry Newy crew clearly knew where to come, and once again we had people lining up to get amongst the goods.
A massive thank you to all our volunteers who make these days happen. From the early morning setup and heat organisation to judging, cooking, serving, beach duties and the pack-down at the end of the day—there are countless jobs happening behind the scenes that often go unnoticed.
The club simply couldn't run these events without you.
Round 6 had it all—clean waves, frothing groms, dolphins, whales, good food and an awesome crew of volunteers.
Another day, another sell-out, and another reminder of why Newcastle Bodyboarding Club is such a special community.
Bring on Round 7! 🤙
