Summer of Surf news release, 31 January 2017
The TechnoGym Club Series looks to be all but over for the 201 6/17 season, with the Sydney Northern Beaches powerhouse club of Newport out in front with an insurmountable lead going into the final round (3 to 5 February in Surfers Paradise). The Newport club has shown versatility across every area of surf sports and thoroughly deserve the win in what has been a dominant season for the club. The last few years Newport have played “second-fiddle” to an impressive Northcliffe outfit that has seen them win 10 Australian club champion titles. This year, however, the Newport club devised a strategy and that has seen them knock off the defending champions and earn the title of “Australia’s Best Club”.
Barring disaster the Newport Club will receive a state of the art gym fit-out courtesy of Technogym that would rival any professional sporting organisation in the world. With such an incredible gym it’s fair to say that this Newport club will come back fitter and stronger next year and be even harder to beat.
