Results from the BJSC “Salty Mudd 'N' Eggs” Easter Treasure Hunt & Fun Rally


The Barbados Junior Surfing Club held its “Salty Mudd 'N' Eggs” Easter Treasure Hunt & Fun Rally on Saturday, April 17, 2010. The event was a fundraiser to assist with junior surfers competing locally and internationally.

The teams were varied, some joint parent/junior surfer teams, some international flavour including those representing Trinidad, some representing California, we even had the all-girl Shotz who had their own team T-Shirts specially prepared and were not going to hold any punches. The team names were telling on the day...The Billabomz, the Quick and Silver and Salty Surfers clearly backed by our hardcore surfing contingent. Then there were others like LOST, well we nearly did lose them, the Wranglers tried their best to rope in their challengers, and the Megatrons ...not much I can say about that one.

After a briefing by rally master Philip McConney, the teams jostled and bounced for position in the car park, before being sent off in orderly array. The teams head North East in search of those elusive clues and forbidden treasures. A few calls were made as some teams strayed from the ultimate goal. Word is that as time wound down some frantic trades went down in the Barbadian back country. Clues for treasure, treasure for clues, it was every man for themselves, a red crab for a Burkie sticker, a bar of Sex Wax for some ladies hair extensions, our surfing pirates were cut-throat. When the dust settled all teams returned to port, with the exception of one, who was last seen in Jack in the Box Gully. The bounty was counted and a round of Surfers Jeopardy unveiled to test the wits of the most savvy of surfers. The final tally, prizes awarded for the top seven cars:

Surfers Jeopardy went into a sudden death round with the Salty Surfers, Alan Burke, Josh, Jacob & Jodie Burke along with Annemiek & Dane Mackie locked neck and neck with the Evanators, Simon, Evan and Cameron Moll with Yasmine, Lance and Lee Blades. Tasked with bringing sense to the Jeopardy round, BJSC representative Gregory Rose devised a sudden death question that would task even the guru Burke himself, "the team with the closest width to Andrew Rose's Channel Island Whip". But it was the Salty Surfers to prevail and take home the Cafe Sol vouchers.

A great time was had by all. Pictures to be posted shortly on our Facebook page and Website. Check us out at www.facebook.com/bdosjuniorsurfing/ or http://www.bdosjuniorsurfing.org .
