Masters Ski Training Saturday! 7th October 2009 Keith is also on the topic of the day with a message for all Masters concerning Ski training! It reads... "For those Masters who would like to improve their Ski paddling feel free to come along to the river on Saturdays. To avoid hindering the Youths Sunday training I think a Saturday session is the answer. Recent tuition has improved me on my own technique (on flat water!) and I am very willing to pass on these tips to newcomers etc. I wish to improve my own paddling so have come up with a plan to build gradually through out the coming months on the river with a view to moving on to more interesting open water challenges next year. If any one is thinking of Ski racing next year then now‘s the time to get base work in. For more details, times etc then please contact me. Keith." Devon's Snaps! 10th August 2009 Tracey Leaper has sent in 90 pictures taken from the recent Seniors & Masters Devons at Saunton Sands!

Got Qualifications? 23rd May 2009 Keith Watts (Masters Coach) has requested the following information be posted for the attention of all Masters have not yet become qualified members. "Masters who are NOT qualified are: Unable to represent the club and compete in competitions as individuals or team events (only on beach events) Limited ONLY to using equipment on training nights when other qualified members are present, this is then stopping them doing their training. Supposed to use only swell type boards or the Rescue (Yellow boards) before using the more expensive Racing boards. As explained on Weds evening, the quicker members are qualified it will help everyone around. So can you please enrol on the next course/dates ASAP? Contact myself, Richy, or Dave with your thoughts on what you want from the club / what awards suit you. We are trying to help you so can you help us to move on with this. The next time surf conditions will probably be bigger and therefore I/we will probably have to stop you using club equipment from a safety aspect, not something I/we want to do ok." Announcement for Seniors & Masters 19th March 2009 Dates and venues for this years upcoming Seniors & Masters Ocean National Championships have been announced by SLSGB.

All club ski's including doubles will be at the lake and instructors will be on hand to teach you whether new to ski's or had a go before and want to improve technique. If you have your own ski come along and use it. We will probably take up a few racing boards so people can have a go on those without those nasty waves getting in the way. There are hot showers at the centre in case you fall in and get cold, but that won't happen! Any volunteers to help, either coaching/instructing, driving club van with trailer or transporting kit themselves please contact Dave Worms." Masters show off at Millfield! 18th February 2009 The Saunton Sands Masters really showed off their skills at the recent National Stillwater Championships at Millfield by not only taking the title but by doubling 2nd place Woolacombe's score! Bob Bunney sent the following into the North Devon Journal on the Masters work: "On Saturday and Sunday the 14th and 15th of February the Combined UK Surf Life Saving and Royal Life Saving Society National Championships for Seniors (Open) and Masters were held in Millfield School 50m Pool. Croydes team comprised only the Latham Brothers Warren and Shaun who both did very well. Saunton were thrilled to add these two crowns to that of the Nippers this year and with their Juniors coming runners up to local rivals Woolacombe by less than a hundred points the competition as events move to the beach and open water this summer seems certain to be very close. Saunton Masters team: Dave Worms, Bryan Smith, Gary Potter, John Irwin, Simon Derges, Andy Bray, Neil Richardson, Martin Purchase, Geoff Priddis, Pete Dyer, Simon Luton, Colin Davie, James Birkley, Bob Bunney, Colin Leaper; Sally Bunney, Heather Eltringham, Ali Priddis,Sue Allen, Melvin Eveleigh, Pete Purchase. Missing from the picture: Louise Clarke, Kath Paton, Anne Baines, Dan Halsey, Matt Tozer, Mark Plumridge, Phill Hill and Tim Chesworth" The final scores were: 1st Saunton Sands: 1772 points 2nd Woolacombe: 681 points 3rd Portreath: 675 points 4th St. Ives: 340 points 5th Perranporth: 316 points 6th South Worcester: 254 points 7th Dawlish Warren: 215 points 8th Crawley Town: 129 points 9th Crantock: 98 points 10th Croyde: 90 points 11th North Worcester: 59 points 12th Rhoose: 41 points 13th Swansea: 40 points Bob has also sent in many snaps from the event, of which you can see in the 2009 Nationals Gallery, by clicking here. Can anyone stop these masterful Masters? Masters in the Burrows 17th January 2009 Keith has sent in a few words concerning Saturday beach running & training. Read on why don't you... "Beach running ‘up and running’ on Saturday mornings @ 09:00 ‘sharp’ from Braunton burrows car park. Session is approx one hour including warm up and warm down so nothing heavy. The plan is to develop a base and then build on through out the year. Sprint training will be added later on once the legs can handle the strain. Take it from me if you improve your cardio through running (which is cheap, apart from travel!) then all our other events become easier to work on as you are able to concentrate on their technical side and not just be knackered from just raising your heart rate. “Obvious” I hear you say so why aren’t you down there joining in? I will confirm if training is on each week via the ‘Shout box’ on the clubs website. Rain is no problem but strong winds are tough down there. Keith.- coach."

Latest Times 6th July 2008 Keith has e-mailled in with some Masters results and notey bits: "Oceanfest 08 Aquathlon: Oliver – (swim relay) 14:45 Tim (swim relay) 15:03mins Matt – (total time) 47:20 Per – 48:11 (fastest run 29.03) James – 48:34 Keith – 48:56 Andy - 50:17 Bob – 2nd in age group (good swim, but wrong time given) 53:35 Pete – (knee injury) 60:47 This was an excellent race, flat sea but tough run around the down end side of Croyde footpaths/dunes. Hopefully more club members will be up for this next year? Woolacombe Ocean swim: New event this year was a straight swim (42 entries) from the Black rock (Putsborough) back to Woolacombe beach (2.5K). Conditions were spot on with a tail wind and a flat sea. Apparently (as we couldn’t see it) the race between Legend Nick Thorn and our very own ‘Jimmy D’ was awesome. Both taking the lead, exiting the water and sprinting to the line to a photo finish!! Only took them 28 mins. Finishing order of Saunton; James Dallyn Joint 1st Abigail got 2nd in age group Matt 10th Bob 11th (got 1st in age group) James 17th Keith (421/2 mins) This was well organised with RNLI water cover and all our members receiving a spot prize, well worth your entry fee! It is hoped to make this into an annual series competing at the ND three beaches, not to be missed…. Keith." Keith's Masterful Training Notices 2nd July 2008 This week's Masters training sees the phrase 'no pain, no gain' probabily come into a bit of play, with Keith planning on the following: "Wednesday: Hopefully we can get last minute 'Ocean man/women' training Weds evening so stand by for pain!! Friday: Choose from either long swim or the Black rock run, i know the costs go towards 'Woolly' but as i said i will be doing a return event to get them to visit us. Sunday: Devon's at Saunton, you can still enter if you wish but please see me Weds evening. July: Looking at running sessions on Sunday's if interest is there. Again speak to me asap if it suits you?"

Some bits for the Masters 23rd May 2008 Keith has gotten in contact with some information for Masters, also concerning membership fee's. "Masters who are not members: Can you ensure you have paid by the next Weds evening please. If you have not paid I can not allow you to use club equipment for the obvious reasons of not having insurance cover etc. I must apologise to Masters who couldn’t use club equipment on Weds (board session) due to Senior age groupers present. I do not want to discourage new starters but in future I will be making sure that this can’t happen as Senior’s training is on Thursday evenings. I want to concentrate on the Masters towards championships coming up so please cooperate with me on this. I hope everyone enjoyed the session but with so many turning up now (excellent) it causes issues with managing the session to cope with all abilities. I am available to those who need more advice on Board tuition/techniques (knees, knees, knees) so please feel free to contact me on either of the following: Have a ‘butchers’ at the attached and remind yourself of it the next time you are out on the board. Next week, will be the ‘timed’ run followed by a swim session. Hopefully both Dave and Brian (level 2 coaches) will be alongside me to help with techniques and encouragement!"

[.pdf file, Adobe Acrobat Required - 319kb] Time Check? 17th May 2008 Keith has gotten in contact again with more Masters Fitness times from the most recent test session, and with all the moving and shaking going on in the tables you'd be crazy not to check out your latest time and see if you've bettered yourself or to see if you're maybe just getting lazier! Link at the bottom, after a brief few words of wisdom from the man himself: "Well done to those who took part in the 2nd run test, very good improvements by most on a windy (ish) evening. The course was pretty much the same route (+/- couple of meters) depending on how you approached the last beach straight. You can now see who your closet rivals are so next time the challenge is to beat them! Points to note: Please bring suitable running footwear as I wouldn’t like to see anyone sidelined by a silly cut etc (or snake bite!) There is no excuse for taking the wrong route as we did do a complete warm up circuit, may be it was the ‘yakking’ that distracted you!! (simon… caz…. pete…) The final couple hundred meters or so should be feeling ‘uncomfortable’ and replicates the final meters of the 1km. Your gains will show when it comes to the Nationals, so keep regular attendance and come August we will rule. Also thanks to Dave for his in/outs coaching, this will develop more as the water warms up and becomes more inviting.
