Three years ago Mike Baker's van got broke into in the Atawhai area and his boards, wetties even Hendrix Liberache ( obscure stuff) cd's were stolen. Mike was and has been pretty gutted the whole time about it until a couple of weeks ago Bruce Wilson was trolling through trademe and came across Mikes custom Psillakis with custom green spray. Left in the sometimes capable police hands Mike has had everything returned to him 3 years later. Surfing communities and our own Nelson surf community are pretty tight-knit and to the crooks who thought they could get away with it........what a bunch of kooks!!
Congratulations Mike on a hard fought win and big up's to Bruce for being such a board merchant!!
Sit back and enjoy this clip of Mike from 2009 ripping Snaps to Shreds and we hope to see him out there soon with more knee jarring action!!! Yeeoowww

Spring Flings
Windy Spring is upon us with Northwest/Southwest combinations lining up in the Tasman seemingly on a weekly cycle for now.... Some fun ones through the week with the wind playing a bit of a cat and mouse game but for 'Johnny on the Spot' there were some fruits available.

No Meat/Meet just yet.
Due to unreliable weather predictions and lack of organisational skills the Club meet has been postponed for the coming fortnight. There is however a chance we will all meet in one way or another over the coming days . Have a good week.

Get Ready to Be Blustered!

Spring is classic for these blustery conditions, its how the seed is spread some say.
Daylight hours have finally toppled the nights so make the most of the coming early morning light before daylight savings kicks in.

Club Meeting Soon!!!
While not so much a meeting but more a social gathering, looking at holding a club meet
soon.... TBA (possibly this friday arvo evening now so stay tuned).
Please check the members page and let us know if your name is not on the members list when it should be.
Suggestions for Club meet have included big screen movie night at the freehouse, BBQ on my own p.diddy deck overlooking The Glen, a bonfire at Snappers (permit pending). Any more suggestions most welcome as were long overdue to get together tell stories of our hey daze. We may even decide on what to do with the kitty of funds semi formally, eg: re-gravel the carpark (we do get refunded from NCC eventually).

As if getting the cover shot on last months SPOKE magazine wasn't enough, Nelson surfer Leif Christenson
backs it up solidly in this months magazine with a sneaky barrell shot at PK's whilst on the same trip.
Hang on isnt it meant to be a bike magazine ?!?!?!!?
