Watched the SUP/Longboarders at it on Saturday - absolutely amazing conditions .. no wind, great waves and the quality of surfing was outstanding!

Lots of photographers were there - anbody got some photos for us?

I was hoping to come down and take a few shots but was in the middle of an assignment for Uni.

Anyone got the SUP surfing results?

cheers

Cheers .. found some results on that link..

Really was amazing conditions .. then length of some of the rides & shape of the waves was just unreal.

" The standard remained high across all other divisions including the hotly contested SUP finals. Rick Jakovich (Gracetown) surfed superbly to win the Open Men' SUP division from a rapidly improving Wesley Fry (Swanbourne). Jakovich showed extreme control in the conditions positing a combined total of 12.43 (from a possible 20), to leave Fry in second ahead of Peter Tommsett (Greenwood) in third and Ian Ausden (Claremont) fourth.

Roger Goodwin (Bicton) took top honours in a tight finishing O/40 Men's SUP final. Goodwin finished just 0.50 ahead of Crawford Olney (Hamiliton Hill) in second, with Marc Harden (Scarborough) and Mike Galvin (Cottesloe) placing in third and fourth respectively.

Despite a broken paddle, Peter Dunn (Cottesloe) recovered to win the O/50 Men's SUP division. As Monica De Arujo (Scarborough) claimed her maiden State Title in the Open Women's SUP division over Amanda Griffiths (Cottesloe) and Narrelle Kuppers (Margaret River) in third. "

Well you can't really see his face in the photo

so you must be looking at him in the mirror mate.

( but hey, maybe he's allowed to get cocky after his win ! )

Great photo's Stimo - clearly capturing your raw talent for theatre - next time make eye contact with the judges at the same time when appealing!
