congratulations to TCSS rider Cloudy Rhodes for placing first in the finals at Crescent last month. it was a major effort just getting there this year with the floods.... a normal 8 hour trip became 2 days of slow driving. Clouds travelled there with Louis English to surf the comp, her words below:
"after numerous wrong turns, almost running out of petrol and being taken through what once was a road and now a lake, in a fire truck, Louis' trusty old volvo station wagon finally got us to crescent head. although the ocean was predominately made up of mud, the week consisted of loggin all time crescent and eating pies from the local bakery. amonst all this fun I somehow made it through my heats and ended up with a first, which made me one stoked logger"
TCSS is a slippery little creature. Wrestled from the minds, pencils & sketchbooks of a small few in Australia & the United States, it has been fed on a strict diet of colourful foam mowers, soulful skeg flexers (past & present) and the versatility of the humble surf craft beneath our feet. It currently resides in the back shed, along with the wolf rider & a sewing machine, stitching tidy tees & trunks for it's owners & whoever else might be interested.
