White Island Race 2016
The season has started off in true fashion with members of the surf club competing in the Annual White island race run by the St Clair surf club.
This year we had 2 of our clubbies Nic Harwood and Brynn Schievink Swim the 5km race alongside a Brighton member and an ex St Kilda member (Shakes) Nic completed the race in just over 1 hour and Bryn unfortunately had to with draw with a short distance left to go. Well done lads that’s a huge effort!
We also had 15 members paddle around the island on knee boards. This is the biggest turn out of St Kilda competitors to this event in many years with many more to come. Michael Thompson (Tomo) may have let out a wee grown man’s scream when he was graced with the presence of what he thought may have been a shark but quickly proved to be a dolphin. Some say there may have also been tears shed from this gentleman.
The team managed to squeeze in a cheeky team photo on the island mid race.
Well done to all and looking forward to many more events this season.
