The Merimbula Sailboard Club was formed by a handful of keen surfer/sailors. We held a competition at Easter 1981 and Mike Maguire won. Another contest was held in the November to coincide with first Rip Curl multi fins sailboard classic to be held in Torquay. We got t-shirts from Dare Jennings of Phantom, called the contest the Wave Flight contest and made our own poster. 36 sailors arrived most of whom were on their way home from Torquay. An expression session was held when the SE wind came up and democracy ruled as we voted for the best sailor at Pambula pub. Scotty won, or was it Mark…??
