Shut the Gate on 2008! 2009 is going be fine!

G'Day Mates!
Thanks for sticking with us through the holiday season! It was a great one! Alot has happened since our last post, have no fear 2009 is here!

The boys are back in the factory producing our customers the best surfboards available to the industry and our team riders are busy winning contests! Team riders Asher Pacey and Clancy Dawson were busy ringing in the new year with a bang, taking out the Jim Beam Surftag Teams Challenge... Alongside Mick Fanning, Asher and Clancy represented the Kirra Surfriders club this contest. The Surftag series is not your average local club contest... In this series, you will be surfing against current and ex WCT competitors!

"It was an emphatic victory for Kirra who held on until the dying minutes and lying just 0.9 points behind the heat leaders Snapper Rocks B, sealing their victory on the final wave of the heat to win the series and go into the National Finals in Sydney as the Queensland Champions."-global surftag.com

"We're ecstatic with our win here today," said Clancy Dawson, Kirra's second highest scorer behind Fanning. "Snapper has so many good surfers and to beat them with two of their teams in the Final is just huge for us." -Clancy

Good On Ya Boys! Congrats on the victory, sounds like your boards are going great!

In other news, we finally got a swell here on the coast with the most! it has been a good six weeks battling with NE winds and locally generated windswell. We had been blessed with a 3-4ft SE swell... not so lucky with the holiday crowds though!
