Ocean Beach SLSC Web site SURF TRAINING

Hope all of OB Nippers are enjoying their Winter (and parents their Sunday mornings)! The coaches for the coming season are:

  • Brett Hurst - (Level 1 Surf Coach) overall Head Coach and also coach of the experienced group
  • Mark Arahill - (Level 1 Surf Coach) Nipper Coach and also coach of the Intermediate group
  • Matt Thompson (assisted by Ashleigh Swain and Vicki Swain - Level 1 Surf Coach) is coach of the beginners group
  • Jason Tucker - Beach sprint and beach relay coach
  • Melissa Hannell (assisted by Donna Hannell) Flags coach
  • Brett and Mark are coaching their respective groups every Sunday morning at 10.30am starting now (get out the wetsuits). Matt is training the beginner’s group every Sunday morning at 10.00am

    When the days are longer, we will return to Tuesday and Friday arvos training for the water events.

    Sprint training is starting this Sunday 31st August. Please meet at 2.50pm in front of the Surf Club for a 3.00pm start. Any enquiries please contact Jason Tucker on 0412181597

    When Nippers season starts, the U/15s and U/17s will have ski training (Craig Coulson is Ski coach - welcome back Craig), and whilst that is underway, Brett Hurst will assist-coach (in conjunction with the relevant age managers) a different Nipper age group each week.

    Due to the sometimes gruelling training undertaken by the experienced group, it is not ideal for everyone. However, any child who wishes to be a part of this group can undergo an iron man time trial, and if successful become part of this group. So it is something for those wishing to be competitive to aim for as they get older.

    Vicki Swain is acting as Nipper liaison person, so if you have any concerns, please speak to her before molehills become mountains. Everyone is looking forward to a great year for all of OB competitors both young and old.

    Vicki Swain
