10.01.2022 2020 40th Classic postponed to 2021 The Club regrettably made this decision as we would be having to outlay $$$ soon and there is no certainty that the event will b able to go ahead in November The 40th will go ahead and promises to be bigger and better.

07.01.2022 Hi all you "ragers"... The raging-bull party on Saturday night will feature a sort of "hippy-woodstock" clothing challenge. Rural hippy-cowboy (if you you-tube those Woodstock days, you will see what I mean) The music will revive a Woodstock playlist, to celebrate 50 years of dance and music. Who will win the best-dressed prize... Well, that's up to you. Yee haa...

07.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who joined in the protest, on the beach at the Merimbula Classic last year. The Great Australian Bight is free from the environmental threat of oil drilling in the pristine waters off South Australia. ... Great news indeed! https://www.sbs.com.au//equinor-scraps-plans-to-drill-for-

04.01.2022 Golden moments sparkling brilliantly (in a big bucketload of bullshit). Well, it is a fact that a lot of bullshit was flung from the back of the cattletruck when the RAGING BULL arrived in Merimbula last Thursday, but luckily, no-one got hit in the eye. Instead we got dazzled by a sparkling glittering ocean, stirred up by a raging north-easter that snarled and snorted until the swell picked up and gave us some pretty good waves downwind. Hey dude, that’s definitely NOT bull...shit. The next day the wind snorted in from the south-east, giving all the contestants a chance to chew into some deliciously fat salty chops (while the steaks were cookin’ away on the never-ending barbie). And YES again it’s not bullshit to claim those wind-warriors rode those waves just like the joyful cowgirl in our 2019 poster, (with a big fat grin and a Yeee-Haaaa call). Saturday and Sunday were much more laid back and the foils showed why they are the latest craze. They seem to silently glide like a sea-bird on the wing floating over the ocean with such graceful elegance. So yeah, The Merimbula Classic once again proved it was the luckiest contest on the circuit as far as conditions apply. Before the contest the ocean was flat, after the contest it was flat yet somehow John Smythe managed to pull another rabbit from his hat for the 39th time. (along with a visiting White Pointer who caused us no pain). Thanks to the club members who worked tirelessly to make this event happen. Thanks to the sponsors who were amazing with fantastic prizes to give away at the presentation. The evenings were great fun.. Friday night in the park where we entertained by the fabulous Mills troupe ( thanks guys n gals..) and Saturday night where the Figmentz got the whole crowd jumping on the dance floor in their outrageous gear. You mob really rock Next year, The Fabulous Forty should be a REALLY interesting event (if I’m any prophet of good times to come). So thank-ya-all for attending the Raging Bull windriding rodeo , pardners. And a final call to ya all.. Yee Haaaaaaa See more

03.01.2022 First day at Raging Bull Merimbula Classic.. great wind

03.01.2022 The GOLDEN GLOWS. Just saw the fashions at the Golden Globes in Hollywood. So wonderful to see the beautiful people having such a fantastic night.... Down here in Merimbula Trish and I are displaying our own fashion garments and accessories. I am wearing my gorgeous designer goggles with orange lens (all the better to see the apocalyptic flames racing through the tree-tops over the nearby hills.) I am also wearing my orange T.shirt (signed by Kelly Slater himself). I am hoping to channel Kelly’s winning spirit as I prepare to jump into the nearby Merimbula lake (when the devil’s wind drives the searing flames of this catastrophic inferno straight through my motor home windows). These fires from hell won’t scorch us yet... (we hope). Another fashion accessory is the Armani style Linus woollen blankets, which we will thoroughly douse with water before we make our amazing sprint to the safety of the lake. Trish has accessorised her outfit with a sturdy torch from Bunnings, (so essential in both day and night). Ahh summer in Australia. Hey, How good’s Merimbula where we don’t feel properly dressed without our gorgeous goggles and highly sought-after breathing mask and where the sun is a bright red Golden Globe (just like in Hollywood).

03.01.2022 Day 2 .. Another terrific day at the Merimbula Classic. Strong SE wind all afternoon saw the kiters going hard at it.

02.01.2022 MEDIA RELEASE: 11 November, 2020 Surfers Rally For Climate Action THE biggest names in Australian surfing have banded together today to defend Australia’s coastline and the surfing lifestyle from the threat of climate change.... Surfers for Climate, founded by longboarding champion Belinda Baggs and former pro-surfer Johnny Abegg, is taking on the crucial challenge of bringing the Australian surf community together to protect the coastline from future threats. For surfers, the ocean is life, Baggs said. Climate change, fuelled by the burning of fossil fuels, threatens everyone’s way of life. For the surfing community, this is a red alert. Everything we love is under threat. Australian surfers found their collective voice seeing off the Norweigian oil giants seeking to drill the Great Australian Bight in February this year, and have now come together to take on an even bigger challenge, climate change. The ocean has made me who I am. Now, we get the chance to help save it, said Abegg. Through Surfers for Climate, we are standing to fight for the ocean, so my kids, and generations to come, can continue to ride waves in thriving oceans. Surfers for Climate will bring surfers together in a positive, fun and inspiring way. The ocean has shaped our country. And now, we must stand up and do what we can to create the future we all want. Legends of the sport, like pro surfers Adrian Ace Buchan, Laura Enever and Pacha Light have joined swimmer and ironman Ky Hurst, actor and director Simon Baker, surf filmmaker Jack McCoy, and musician Jack River as ambassadors for Surfers for Climate. The freedoms we had as kids, the thrills, spills and lessons learnt amongst the beauty and power of nature, it held us close. To think we could repay it by inaction breaks my heart, Surfers for Climate ambassador Simon Baker said. The surfer-led organisation’s launch today coincides with a remarkable collaboration between Jack McCoy and legendary Beatle Paul McCartney, who have created a new film clip to McCartney’s evocative homage to the ocean, Wine Dark Open Sea, featuring the hypnotic surfing of Belinda Baggs. Surfers for Climate draws inspiration from the True Locals, First Nations’ people, their generational wisdom and connection to land, waters and culture. Surfers for Climate is an Australian-based registered charity fostering a broad alliance with other surfing and environmental groups, climate scientists and campaigners and surfing communities around the world.

01.01.2022 Fearless Flightmaster defies the finalists who figured his fetish for fearless flying would be fatal. Woodsy the Marvelous Maldiver had to be forceably restrained by the 6 finalists from flying off the stage in a dramatic attempt at anti-gravitalisation. They told Woodsy that he should curb his enthusiasm (and give up drinking cheap red wine). Contest director John Smythe explained that our insurance did NOT cover extreme showmanship, and that the Mighty Maldiver should now rest on his laurels, and go back to his job of signing autographs for his many female admirers.
