Rusty takes on Noosa and wins Crystal Cylinders
Up at the Noosa Surfing Festival Byron Bay’s Rusty Miller did what he does best: surfing with style, getting the judges’ appreciation and a win in the Over-70s Magoo memorial division. Miller appeared not only in the surf event but also on the stage as a musician while at the festival. A new swell got the competition started at First Point but it ended up finishing on the beaches as the waves slowly dropped over the eight days of surfing action. The Noosa Festival of Surfing featured a record 900-plus competitors and 20 surf divisions this year. The event had live music and movies every evening. The McTavish Team was third in the teams event. Even though they didn’t feature in the finals there were some inspired performances over the marathon event by Byron Shire locals including Roisin Carolan, Maddie Gross and Josie and Bernie Prendegast.

Byron Boardriders Three wins for Byron Bay Boardriders at the legendary Kirra Teams event on the weekend kept them in the mix against 31 of the best clubs from the east coast of Australia for most of the contest. They ended up in ninth place overall on a very tight leaderboard. Day one at Duranbah featured big lumpy peaks and a strong wind that changed to
small sucky walls on the third and final day. Maximum points were gained from the superb efforts of Danny Wills, Keiren Perrow and Luke Stickley, who won their heats with style and helped Byron Bay leapfrog other teams on the leaderboard. Backing up those wins were three solid seconds from Bryce Cameron, Stu Campbell and George Mountjoy, while the difficult conditions got the best of Garret Parkes and Taj Richmond.
Murray river long-distance swimmer claims record After pre-swim training in Mullumbimby, Hunter Helmick has claimed a world record as the first American to swim 2,412 kilometres of the Murray River. Hunter left Corryong, Victoria, on November 5 with his father Eric swimming at his side and brother Tuck as boat captain. The father-son team undertook the 120-day staged swim to inspire the youth of Australia and bring awareness to the high rate of suicide among the younger generation. On average Hunter maintained a stroke rate of 55 per minute travelling at speeds of 3.5–4km per hour. The number of freestyle strokes he took exceeded 1,728,000. He swam an average of five hours every day, often swimming 8–10 hours in wind, rain and 40-degree heat. Water temperatures fluctuated over 12–27 degrees. Hunter wore through two wetsuits and was fortunate to only have minor chafing on his back and shoulders midway through the swim. Hunter started out with brown hair and finished

blond owing to the number of days in the sun. His toenails turned orange from the minerals in the water and he suffered from a series of severe ear infections. The team swam in the tail-end of massive flooding across Australia after an eight-year drought. During the swim they encountered everything from venomous snakes to whirlpools, snags, wind, lightning, and extreme fatigue. ‘An endurance swim was not really my life’s dream,’ Hunter said. ‘In fact, the most
I had ever swum before this journey was 6km. But doing something epic that inspires others to live big, there’s a legacy worth leaving behind. ‘Inspiration brings hope. Hope is the greatest cure for depression and suicide. So we’re doing something epic. In the process, youth and communities are finding hope believing anything might be possible,’ he said. Eric (55) swam 732km of the Murray. The family is from Idaho Springs, Colorado, in the United States.
