GSMRR 1st Anniversary Competition result!!!!

Way, way back at the beginning of the year, on January the 5th to be precise I announced details of a competition to be drawn at the end of the first year of Global Surf Mat Rider Forum's existence. The winner would receive a twice used Greenough specification 4GF UDT surf mat shipped anywhere in the world.  Unfortunately, with the advent of more sophisticated networking tools such as Facebook and Twitter the idea of the forum failed miserably. So I changed the name to the Global Surf Mat Rider Resource as it works reasonably well as an on-line information resource instead. When I first set up this competition the rules for entry included joining the forum as a member and then posting or commenting on a post a minimum of 6 times. However, in view of the fact that it was unsuccessful as a forum, I have rescinded the minimum of 6 posts/comments and put the 21 people who joined and took the time to introduce themselves into the draw. I hope everybody considers that this is probably a fair amendment to make.

I have sorted this list on the date you joined in ascending order thereby allotting each of you a number.
I have used a random number generator to pick the winner and the number generated was 7! So the winner of a near new 4GF UDT is dustjf!
Here is how he introduced himself.

"hi i'm dustin been riding mats for 2 years now, I live in lennox head nsw and get to see some good mat riding by mark thomson and george greenough both those guys inspired me to give it a go and now i'm obsessed."

So a worthy winner me thinks for a self confessed mat obsessive!
So Dustin you need to let me know what your address is so as I can get the UDT off to you asap. When you receive it I would love to get a pic of you with it to post at a later date.

  1. Hey Robin, Happy new year! I just read your blog and couldnt believe I won something let alone a surf mat! Best way to start the year! My address is 3/7 Lennox Street Lennox Head NSW 2478 Please let me know if I can pay for the postage. Thanks again and your blog is great! I will also get a photo to you, hopefully on some decent waves! Dustin

    I discovered today that coincidentally it turns out that Dustin actually made the most posts of any member making him an even more worthy winner!
