Hey folks,

Just a reminder that Sunday from noon onwards at the Narrabeen Surf Club, NSWKBA and Narrabeen Surf Life Saving Club will host a "Massive Season Opener".



www.facebook.com/events/222668221195248/

Conditions look windy with some significant surf happening, along with two hours of KiteSkills sessions, Sydney Uni Crazy Kitesurfers (SUCK) Fancy Dress kite race and BBQ/beers at the end.

Events and food are FREE for current NSWKBA members. Non-members $5 sausage sizzle and $15 dinner BBQ. Drinks extra.

Non-members welcome!

NOTE: there are three surf clubs in Narrabeen. It's the one in the middle on Ocean Street, just South of Albert Street HERE:
LOCATION: goo.gl/maps/t6ZVz

Parking: Important! Warringah Council Rangers patrol the club area regularly so unless you have a Warringah Parking Sticker, you'll need to park on the main road outside of the club parking area on Ocean Street (BTW, the semi-circle labelled as “Ocean Street” on Google Maps by the club is actually where you can only park with a Warringah Parking sticker (it's not actually Ocean street…)

Shoes: The club has a no-sand, shoes-required policy for the upstairs presentation area, so make sure you bring some form of footware. Thongs are OK.

SCHEDULE:


Here's the most current schedule of events. This may shift somewhat, depending on conditions.
