Hive customer Kim purchased the Nectar Dots n Stripes Black for her trip to the Maldives Photography by Jeremy Wilmotte jeremywilmotte@yahoo.com.au www.jeremywilmotte.com.au

I thought I would just let you know that the swimwear that I got and purchased off you, the nectar, back in September for a trip to the Maldives were fantastic! Well done on the design. I felt so comfortable and never once had to adjust, and there were 5 -6 foot days too! The other girls on the boat kept commenting on them and they are from Sydney, They were all impressed.  I was the only one on the boat that didn’t have a sore neck, kept my boobs in my top and didn’t moon someone every time I duck dived. The trip is going to be documented in some surf mags so we had professional Tracks photographer Jeremy Wilmotte on board to take some shots.There were about 400 shots of me alone, they show just how well the swimwear sits when surfing. Thanks so much for the designs Kat and I’m looking forward to wearing more of your designs. 

Milkshakes WBA final event, 2009
Sunny skies, fun 2ft surf and a bunch of spooky girls were the order
of the day at WBAâ?Ts final contest for 2009, held at North Bombo Beach
on November 1st.
In the spirit of Halloween, around 15 competitors of WBA arrived for the
event, all dressed in their best Halloween costumes.
Highlights included Bec Dunningâ?Ts pirate outfit, Zoe Edwardâ?Ts
jellyfish attire, Raniâ?Ts nerd devil suit, Kerryâ?Ts witch outfit, and
Jane and Emilyâ?Ts matching ghost costumes. But the winner of best
dressed had to go to Julia â?oGuliaâ? Heasman for her creepy alien outfit.
As the girls set up the tents and equipment, Emma Roby turned up in
her spooky work clothes (from Donut King), with a box of freshly made
donuts for all! Em was swarmed in no time, as the girls chowed down
their (healthy?) breakfast.
With thanks to Bi-Lo Warilla, we also had plenty of fruit and snacks for
the girls to eat throughout the day.
First up in the water was the AA division. The girls paddled out to
the outside bank, but good waves were slow to come by on the high tide
so the girls soon moved into the shorey where some fun barrelling waves
were coming through.
Kerry, Julia and Jane
Zoe
Edwards spun her way to victory over Emily Ryan and Ali Kriz in heat
one, then Jane Keel managed some sweet spins and rolls to win her way
past Julia Heasman and Kerry Head.
Next up was the hotly contested DK division. After a couple of
successful DK expression sessions the past two years we finally decided
on holding a serious division for the DK girls.
There were some sick DK rides, but sorry we missed shots of them! Here’s
Bec Dunning pulling in.
We
were stoked to have Warilla local, Bec Dunning (â?T96 & â?~99
Australian champ) jump out of retirement to compete in this WBA event.
Bec rips DK, and both Emma Roby and Emma Cobb have been working on
their DK skills of late. The ever keen Julia Gulia jumped in to make up
the fourth spot in the division, and managed to do pretty well on the
knee.
Some sick looking waves came through for the DK girls on the shorey bank.
Bec, Cobb and Roby were all being super competitive in their heat.
Bec banked a big carve on one. Roby was pumped, catching loads of
closeouts, before scoring the wave of the heat, executing a smooth spin
on her backhand into a sick barrel which eventually closed out.
Everyone was hooting. 8.5.
It looked as though the heat was Emmaâ?Ts, but right on the siren, Bec
jumped up onto a nice right, did a smooth backhand turn into a barrel,
scoring a 6 average from the judges and giving her the win!
Next out was the A final.
Rani, our amazing paraplegic friend, paddled straight out the back
on her surf mat, while super grom, Jayda Sharp headed in for the fun
shoreys. Jayda scored lots of fun rides, but it was Rani that came away
with the win with two long rides all the way from the back into shore,
almost pulling off a roll in the process. Yew!
The girls were all loving the power of the microphone. Rani and Emma being
funny.
A break from surf competition and the beach was set up for the land
events. First up was the flipper race. Forever full of dodgey tactics,
the flipper race is always an interesting race to watch. Right from the
start, almost half the competitors were taken out by fellow racers who
decided on tackling each other instead of racing for the prized fins.
Bec Dunning spectacularly took down Emma Cobb with a wild tackle,
while Emily Ryan went completely out of her way to put me out of
competition. Too funny.
Repeat winner of the race was once again Jayda Sharpe, who is also
reportedly a star runner at her school. Congrats!
Next was the inaugural wheelbarrow race, where Rani, with her keen upper
body strength was the event favourite for the win.
I was pumped to be teamed up with Bec Dunning, who also happened to
be a rowing champion and personal trainer, with arms of steel!
On the hooter, 90% of the girls collapsed at the starting line; it really
does take a lot of strength to be a wheelbarrow.
Jane and Emliy about to take down Cobb and Ali in the wheelbarrow race.
Bec
and I raced off with Rani and mum Kerry right by our side, while the
others fell by the wayside. We were neck and neck until the finish
where Rani managed to launch herself onto the prize, a Riptide mag with
Flux DVD included! Rani copped a face full of sand, but also came away
with the win!
Back to the contest and out next was the AAA division.
Kaitlin â?oWombatâ? Murphy and Julia Gulia were taken out by me and Bec
in heat one, then the two Emmaâ?Ts surfed well to advance ahead of Zoe
Edwards into the final.

Up next was the AA division final.
Jane Keel was surfing amazing, busting out some sick rolls and spins
for a run away win! Julia whipped into some stylish spins, as did
Emily. While Zoe somehow couldnâ?Tt find a single wave to ride, instead
choosing to hoot the other girls into the fun waves.
The wind started howling in from the NE as the AAA girls paddled out for
the final.
Emma Cobb was straight into a couple of waves out the back, while
me, Roby and Bec paddled around looking for the fun right hand shorey
waves we saw from the beach. We soon realised the best waves were now
coming through out the back. Roby found a nice right for a spin roll
combo followed by another solid roll to take out 1st place!
Meanwhile, on the beach, the howling wind blew away the tent and
table, unfortunately damaging Matt Youngâ?Ts brand new tent he kindly
lent to WBA (we will be reimbursing the cost of a new tent Matt
â?”sorry!). The wind also flipping the table with Robyâ?Ts $2000 camera
into the sand. Off to the camera store for a service and clean I think!
After the beach clean up, all the girls jumped into cars to head to
Natural Necessity (Gerringong surf shop) for the presentation.
Everyone was ravenous and scoffed down the tasty finger food, as the
winners of each division were announced, and the 2009 WBA tour
champions!
Stacks of prizes were handed out from Milkshakes boards, Riptide magazine,
and Hive Swimwear.
