IT was pre-dawn when a small contingency of highly motivated and dedicated Sunshine Beach under-8 and under-10 Nippers boarded the bus bound for Redcliff to compete at the Junior Surf Lifesaving Branch Carnival last Saturday.
This carnival marks the end of the season for these young Nippers and the last opportunity to put the skills learnt throughout the season into practice in competition.
From the very first event of the day, the All Age Relay, right through to the sprints, flags, surf swims and board events, the Sunshine Nippers’ confidence and proficiency shone through, gaining them many top three and many more top eight placings on the day.
It was a pleasure to see the camaraderie and all-around good sportsmanship displayed by all club members. They are truly a remarkable bunch and they should be all very proud of their achievements.
The day ended with a team dinner at Sizzler – the highlight of the day.
