Is that the Beach Beat comp? It'd be all over by that time Monday arvo. They can have the Bluff anyway. They won't be on Alex lefts, wrongboarders don't go left.

Cool. I know the spot just not the name. Look for the dark blue Impreza RV

I think we should consider a change of meeting place if theres a longboard comp on at Alex, lets meet at the park between the caravan park and the Maroochydore surf club ? Not sure what the park is called but its just a bit north of the caravan park. No way can we meet right where the mal comp is and at the time as the final....same time but up at the park , hope thats cool for everyone...see you there...

Melrose St is the one you need to turn down, you'll see it down there.

Far out boys, I won't be able to make it to this BBQ either! Anyways, I'm sure you'll have a great time... should be some waves around too!

By the way, if you (or anyone you know) is interested in a new wetty top, check this out:
http://forum.realsurf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14010
I can give it to Fong to take down for the day if you want to put it on to make sure it's the right fit.

And Mark, as for me and the Aqua bat, I'll just have a few surfs on it when Fong's got it. It's a little too difficult to surf another board when you got you're still frothing over your own new board 8)
