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.

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