OCEAN VIEWS DSLSC April 2014 Hi team, SOCM WUPS States State States Nationals AFL Updates Dates Flashback Committee It has been a couple of months since the last newsletter. This is my fault. Getting married and learning the 8000 page manual on marriage has been time consuming. Please read on for some of the end of season events that have recently happened, or are about to happen. It will be a short and sweet newsletter so that not too much information goes into the male readers brains, pushing out crucial information from pages 3-7999 of the manual. Is it ironic it is called a ‘manual’? There doesn't seem to be a womanual? The wind up (DSLSC season 2013/14) is on May 17th. Invites coming in the (e)mail. Later, Pmac DSLSC Newsletter editor “What was on page 7233 again? .....something about chain sawing?” Lleyton Hewitt- A great Australian married hero Who WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY WANTs WAVES Contact George on 0432 955 436 A keen group of ocean water swimmers from around Western Australia. All willing and able DSLSC Members The southern most swim on the Open Water State Swim Series. Helping hands at our biggest event of the year. Easter Sunday, 20th April Easter Sunday, 20th April Ocean Beach, Denmark Ocean Beach, Denmark Ocean swimming is a healthy pastime that lowers the risk of inactivity related disease. Making for a successful weekend and pull in lots of dollars for DSLSC A clean offshore day and no fatal shark attacks Water Safety Cookers Rego people Food preppers Event is too far away for an accurate forecast Event is too far away for an accurate forecast A spritely group of Nippers went to the SLSWA Country State Carnival on the Labour Day long weekend. Here are our medal winnersGus– 3rd in the u/12 sprint Kyle– 1st in the u/13 flags and print Gidget– 3rd in the u/15 sprint Flynders– 1st in the u/11 boards Laura– 3rd in the u/12 sprint and 2nd in the 1km run Ella– 3rd in the u/12 1km run 1st in the u/15 mixed relay and 1st in the all age relay Well done to all those who went up had a fat time with their buddies! DD Atkinson seems to take great pleasure in making the rest of us look bad. Swim training at ALAC before school?– easy. Extensive Year 10 studies?– easy. Participating in every open water swim comp on the calendar– why not? DD trekked it up to Perth at the end of March to test her mettle against the best in the whole of WA. She suffered some bad luck in her two favourite water events, narrowly missing the final of the swim and the boards. This bad luck went full circle with DD achieving better results at Nationals! (below). The National Surf Life Saving Titles were held in Perth last weekend at Scarborough beach. DD was the sole DSLSC competitor at the event, unless we lay stake to ex-DSLSC member, Anabel Robinson , who now competes for Fremantle. Who knew that the 2km beach run was swimfreak DD’s pet event, after finishing 8th in the u/17 race. Anabel finished a very credible 7th in the same event. DD just missed the final of the swim race, board race and Iron lady. We thank DD for making the effort to attend the titles in Denmark colours, and we will miss her when she goes to boarding school in Perth next year. Hawthorn made the Dockers look like under 14’s last weekend in the Grand Final rematch. If you were showing a non– Australian what good football looked like, you would show the clinic they put on last Friday night. I still think Ross Lyon can get them back to the GF in 2014, but they will suffer a haunting from the ghosts of 2013 and Ballantyne will go foetal. Against all the adversity, the Bombers are looking sharp and strong across all the lines. Dustin Fletcher broke the all time games record the other weekend. One of his team mates was born the day of his first AFL game. Respect. I know how Buddy Franklin feels. I have been giving don’t argues and kicking bags against the Year 5/6’s at school lately. But Buddy Franklin got paid $12 000 a goal in round 2. I did not. I hope he invests it in blue chip shares. Something seems to be happening at Port Adelaide. The story makes for a good movie: busted ass club takes it to the powerhouses after recruiting interstate stars against their will. Brad Pitt to play Brad Ebert. Tom Cruise to play Kane Mitchell. Filmed in Adelaide. Uncle Phil reckons the WCE’s will make the top 4 this year under new coach, Adam Simpson. Big ask for the same list that came 11th or whatever it was last year. But they got a confidence boost beating Melbourne by 10000pts. The days of Geelong holding down a top 4 spot at will seem to be over. What an era they had though. They still have some talent and big game players running around, so who knows what they will be capable of? Go ask Jimmy Bartel. Patrick Hazardpaddock knows how to cut grass. With a football. Trimming daisies onto the chest of Tex Walker. Can he win the Brownlow this year? Adelaide need to win a few more games to do so. And when is Andrew McLeod going to take over the coaching role? He is all class. A big fat question mark sits next to the Kangaroos. Not sure about the light blue and white get up. Bit too peaceful for my liking. It must be hard to get all cutthroat walking around like a Blue Wren. Some early predictions to do with the bottom 91. The Suns get near the finals for the first time 2. Carlton beat 4 top 6 teams, but lose to 4 of the bottom 6. 3. Nathan Buckley will cry before round 18.

The mornings are chilling down, days are getting shorter, the winds are good and the swells are groomed. I remember one of the best surfs I have had at Ocean beach was in Autumn circa 2003 and BJ and I surfed a right just left of the surf club that seemed to be on a sandbank held in place by a seaweed web. What is kicking around the corner in barrow loads at the moment? Seaweed. NE’ly today. Nothing yesterday. SW last weekend. Only wind we have not had in the last two weeks is probably a NNW’ly. In good time......In good time. WHAT Wind Up WHEN 17th of May Longboard State Round May Something AFL Every weekend SOCM Easter Sunday Michaela is home Easter Check out the charcoaled hill....
