Hey Supyamba
i am in a similar boat however Surfing comes above the other disciplines
prob best to keep an eye on the clubs facey page or website or even contact the president/representative and get a club comp schedule.
had a stab at the 8 k social race at Immerse over the weekend Was interesting and when finances allow I will look to invest in something that can get me out there. Till then I will borrow what I can to give it a go.
Guess it takes time to meet others and feel part of it all when your a newbie. Like anything in life.
enjoy

I flew up from Melbourne to Gold Coast to do some sessions with Pete Dorries. The man is awesome. I have a swim/triathlon coaching background and his knowledge and tech/skills etc top class. Well worth the time. Highly recommend ! I'll be back
