Last Sundays Comp.
Perfect day for it, sun shining and nice little peelers running through Brighton
With the tide still a bit high the mals went out first, with Jono being the eventual winner
Followed by the womans, with all entrants catching quality rides, it was close until Nic caught two long rides from out the back almost to the sand, to take first place
The grommets provided a couple of big upsets, with all competitors putting in a solid effort over summer, we've seen some big improvements leading up to this event, Ollie made his intentions clear early as he showed total commitment to his wave, charging straight onto a bed of rock, scoring a few hoots and a sneaky extra point for his efforts, with the surf improving as the tide went out, Matt picked off a couple of nice bowly ones and worked them well for first place.
The open mens also provided entertainment for those watching on Barney's with Nath and Jono colliding on a wee lefty,
and Sean, somehow, sneaking in and out of a barrel, but Andy's solid backhand put him well out in front to take the event.
Finally the ugly boards went out, heaps of fun just catching a few waves on boards we wouldn't normally ride, a 4" thick single fin, a kneelo, a mal which looked more like a boat the way the bottom was shaped and a finless shorty that pretty much just spun circles, Jay was the winner on the mal with a hull.
Awesome day, hope everyone enjoyed it and we'll see you next time!
