The Dave 'Coke' Wards Surfing Contest and associated events

The Dave 'Coke' Wards Surfing Contest and associated events are held each year over two weekends in October.

The first weekend consists of an ocean paddle and swim at Wamberal Beach on the Central Coast, followed by a Trivia Night at Wamberal Surf Club.

The Surfing Contest is held on the following weekend and attracts over 120 keen surfers.

Chris Beeby's and Wayne King's efforts recognised

Dave 'Coke' Wards was a young man who loved surfboard riding and was involved in competitive surfing from a very early age. He was very supportive of surfers young and old and was a member of a number of board-riding clubs - North Shelly, North Avoca, Avoca, Wamberal and the Christian Surfers. David was diagnosed with leukaemia and in 1989 lost his battle with the disease. The surfboard riding competition is held in his memory and the proceeds are given each year to the Arrow Bone marrow Transplant Foundation.

Chris Beeby is the co-ordinator of the Dave 'Coke' Wards Surfing Contest. He can be contacted on 0435 143 200.
