Archie, loved surfing so when Richie Faibairn asked if the Southend Boardriders Maroubra could dedicate their October competition to Archie and Hearts 4 Arch we knew he would have been stoked. The comp included an event for the Cadets which is Archies mates age group. The organisers renamed the event after Archie and then included a new event called the ‘expression session’. All of Archies surfing mates know how much he loved to muck around and the sillier the move on a surf board the better. The ‘expression session’ was a competition with the winner being the person who could do the silliest moves on the board. They had to leave the first wave for Archie and then ‘go for it’. Congratulations to @louisetournaud35 @matisjosrolland , @kane_mac07 and @judahmillers who are well practiced having a good time in the surf.

To see Archies mates winning prizes for having fun was the best. We reckon every sport should have an expression session event.

Thanks to all of those who came, had fun, and made a donation to Hearts 4 Arch at the Bbq, it was a great day!
