Jimi Crooks, Andy Sutherland and Jono Pascoe.
Jimi (above) won the Juniors (under 18) and dedicated his win to the family who were involved in a head on car smash on the morning of the second day of the comp. One of the occupants who was badly injured was to surf in the same final against him later that day. The accident was caused by a tourist driving on the wrong side of the road.
Andy (above) competed in the open division, and was unfortunately knocked out in his first heat due to lack of waves his way. However, he did spend the rest of the weekend free surfing just down from the comp area, undeniably ripping and pulling into closeout barrels.
Jono (above) competed in the Open men, and the Longboard. Having been knocked out on the Mens Open, he surfed well in his longboard heat, at one stage placing second with some solid rides, but was knocked back to thrid by the end of the heat, so did not make it through.
