Stargeezr Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Patong is a good location as it is a big bay and protected from the rough ocean waves. Good to hear that this years event was a success. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie999 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 They need some real competition, bring in a team from Australia, that should help improve their standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Great to see & hopefully will continue to grow. I was a surf lifesaver for many years & being in the club promoted a great sense of camaraderie, learning how to save lives, being able to enjoy the boards & the boats, competition with other clubs, national champs. We still managed to get into some mischief along the way but it is a healthy, fun pastime & generally kept us away from trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
