2005 Magoo Charity Longboard Classic |
IT'S ON AGAIN! - 2005 MAGOO CHARITY LONGBOARD CLASSIC – 30 April & 1 May 2005.
Each year around April-May, the Central Coast Malibu Boardriders Club hold a charity event called ‘The Magoo Charity Classic’ in honour of our own living legend Barry ‘Magoo’ McGuigan. The event is a Longboard Surfing Contest held at Soldiers Beach on the NSW Central Coast (Magoo's home beach), but we also have an associated Charity Raffle, Charity Auction and Charity Head Shave.
‘Magoo’ is 76 this May, and is still and active club member, and regularly competes in State and National Titles and other surfing contests around Australia. Magoo is a top bloke and a real inspiration to all that know him. The Club is honoured to have Magoo as a member and to hold this event in his honour, and he is really proud that we do it. Seeing him glow each year makes all the effort worth while.
Since the event’s inception in 1999 (it was a surprise for Magoo's 70th Birthday), we have raised over $100,000 for charity. At the request of Magoo, ALL money raised from the event goes to Central Coast Health Cancer Research and Cancer Care. Last year (2004) we had over 100 competitors from the Eastern States contest 11 divisions in the Longboard competition, and combined with the raffle, auction and head shave, we were able to raise over $14,000 -- all of which was donated to cancer care and research. The event has developed into a great weekend of Longboard surfing and good fun, and the event has a great 'grass roots' feel about it.
We believe that The Magoo Charity Classic is the premier longboarding charity event in Australia. It is a great opportunity for the surfing community and non surfing related businesses, to support such a great event and raise money for charity.

PowerSki Jetboards update |
We have been watching the steady pregression of this innovation for some time now and thought that you might be interested in the latest development at PowerSki. These guys are certainly breaking new ground. (Ed)
SAN CLEMEMTE, Calif. April 4, 2005, PowerSki International Corporation (PSI) has signed a development agreement with Orbital Corporation Limited of Perth, Australia, to adapt air assist direct injection (DI) to Powerski’s patented Supertorque XT™ Marine Engine. Applying DI to this engine will result in lower exhaust emissions, greater fuel economy and more reliable starts.
 |
Bob Montgomery, CEO, states “Today we are using a catalytic converter on our carbureted 2-stroke engine to meet US EPA emissions. A DI 2-stroke version will allow us to meet global emissions regulations, including in California, without the need for a catalyst. We are also developing a 4-stroke alternative to meet market demands. Orbital’s direct fuel injection is the next step in the overall plan to be lean, mean, and green! Orbital has been in business for over 30 years and has DI systems on marine applications such as Mercury Marine’s OptiMax outboards and BRP’s Sea Doo personal watercraft. Powerski is proud and excited about working with Orbital to develop this new system for our patented Supertorque XT™ engine line." Direct injection is widely recognized as "next generation" fuel system technology that substantially improves fuel economy and exhaust emissions of conventional internal combustion gasoline engines. It involves injecting the fuel directly into the cylinder (combustion chamber) of an engine, instead of indirectly through an inlet port as would be the case in a port fuel injection (PFI) or a carburetor engine. |
Orbital's core technology is a unique air-assisted low-pressure direct fuel injection, combustion and engine management system collectively called Orbital Combustion Process (OCP™) technology. OCP™ creates a precisely controlled, finely atomized fuel cloud allowing engines to run with greater fuel efficiency and with reduced emissions output.
Orbital Corporation Limited is a leading international developer of engine and related technologies using DI and lean-burn systems for enhanced fuel economy and lower emissions. Orbital stock is traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (OEC) and in the United States on the OTC Bulletin Board (OBTLY). Website: www.orbitalcorp.com.au
