Southern 80

25/04/2026

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Noel Griffin, driver of boats: Blazen, Burnin, Little Loose, Cut Loose, Special Edition and others.

Although the Southern 80 outright trophy eluded Noel, he loved visiting Echuca / Moama and the Murray River. He won the Barrie Beehag outright trophy in 2009.

Noel contributed so much to our sport of water ski racing, in his role of Chairman of Ski Racing Australia in the 2010’s, and he supported events and races across the country by attending with his team.

Our thoughts are with his wife Judy & family, extended family and the ski racing community at this time.

We believe that we captured every boat that was present. Thanks to the boat owners for sharing their boats and talking about their boats with spectators on the day.
Our thanks to our sponsors, without whom we could not put on this day:
Winning Homes, The Echuca Hotel, Savage Force, Murray River Council, Autobarn Opposite Lock Echuca, Penrite Oil, Signarama Echuca, Milner Plumbing, Rich River Party Hire 👏👏👏
