Skis and iron a hot mix

UP to 40 Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club competitors participated in this summer’s first Life Saving Victoria surf senior carnival at Torquay surf beach on 9 December.
Ocean Grove SLSC competition manager Bruce Sampson said his club competed well across the ski events and iron races at the state-based surf carnival.
Sampson confirmed 38 Ocean Grove SLSC senior competitors competed at the opening senior carnival for 2017-’18.
“The skis were probably our strongest – skis and irons were our biggest events,” Sampson said.
“It is has been a good hit-out, the kids enjoyed themselves.”
Clubs from all over Victoria were at the competition, including Ocean Grove, Anglesea, Jan Juc and Torquay.
The next senior surf carnival will take place at Anglesea Surf Life Saving Club on Sunday 7 January.
