Proud to be Life member and past President, Vice President, Chairman, Secretary, Club Champion, Kirra Team Surfer, retired Kirra Head Judge - Professional Judge.
My most unforgettable memory as President was at the '93 Straddie Assault.
A chick on a pushbike was giving the Kirra grommets a hard time.
Every time she rode past the team house, she'd give he groms the forks, so the groms decided the next time she rides past they would egg her.
Meanwhile a wedding party in the park were getting their photos taken, well, the chick rode past and said something to the grommets so they egged her with a dozen or so eggs, only problem was they missed the chick and egged the wedding party, needless to say a full shit fight followed.
The next day three ute loads of blokes turned up, the grommets scattered hiding under beds, in cupboards,behind lounges.
While that was happening they locked Wendy Barkla outside (she was the club secretary) she hid behind a tree, copping verbal abuse and dodging eggs. They thrashed the team bus with eggs; tomatoes, cake and they scared the living shit out of the grommets.
The club was nearly kicked off the island and banned from the contest.
