Conditions looked tough with a strong northerly sweep, plenty of waves closing out on the shallow bank and lots of water moving around.
Congratulations to the winners an well done to everyone who did the race, even those who didn't finish did a great job getting out there having a go.
Great to see so many new faces joining the sport since last year!
Congrats to everyone that raced today, definitely some challenging conditions, well done to surfing Qld for a great course. Special shout out to Lincoln Dews taking the double and making the final of the surfing, legend. Also the Supatx/Lahui Kai team for taking out the top 3 spots in the open mens tech race, 2nd in the womens. Also top 2 spots in the open mens marathon and 1st in the 14' marathon. Big thanks to Mick Dibetta his program taking top 4 spots today in the tech and many other categories over the weekend.
congrats to all in a tough race.
don't do these races but a keen observer.
conditions reasonable two ft ish beach break style gutter, sand bank, heavy break onto said bank and same shorey. ie not glassy currumbin alley at 6am.
looks like races oz style are going to be mostly held in 'beach break style conditions' not dana point, not currumbin alley, not rainbow bay
it was pretty obvious to those of us watching that if you stayed on your board you would have a result in your class.
everybody was falling because they couldn't stay on their narrow boards in the heavy sandbank conditions on what was really just small/medium typical surf day.
looks like the narrow board bop style doesn't suit oz to me.
again great effort by all the paddlers
( i was exhausted just watching it)
