Remember kelly Hatch? (that’s her  to the right of Emma Mc)

Our favourite American BGSR charger has been spending a lot of time in the Colorado Rockies of late. Kelly has been missing the Bondi Girls Surfriders, and the epic surf we experience down at Bondi every day so much, that she’s coming back for a visit in 2012.

Yayyhh!!!

Here is a XMAS card we just received from her.

Hey Kell,

We can’t wait to see you again, have a fantastic Christmas and a happy new year!

Love from the whole Bondi crew of Salty Sea Hags

‘Bondi Girls Surfriders’ has been blessed with fabulous club presidents since the club’s inception back in 1999. The job must be very rewarding because in the past 12 years we have only had three, Brenda Miley, Madeline McMahon and most recently, Olivia Lucas.

In her 2nd year as club president ,Olivia has continued to bring her youthful enthusiasm, endless energy and frothing “Aloha Spirit’ to BGSR. (more…)
