City of Perth nippers make waves

Tyler BrownJoondalup Times

Mullaloo surf sports events manager Dawn Jones said it was a “spectacular sight” with 12 clubs represented from as far as Albany and some competing for the first time with the introduction of the under-9 and under-10 categories.

The morning kicked off with the new ocean swim run event, which attracted competitors from the wider community as well as some of the nippers, before the junior challenge for under-9s to under-15s was in full swing.

Events included the beach sprint, beach flags, surf race, board race and iron person. There was also an Activ-Zone with volleyball, tennis and dancing competitions.

The day finished with a relay with teams made up of members from each age group, with Mullaloo coming first and Sorrento second.
