were definatley the standouts in the solid conditions. Guys like Jake Stone, Toby Player, Dallas Singer and CHRIS WIL
SON cruised through the first two days
clocking up more tube time in heats than you do in seasons of free surfing.
The Final day came the waves 4 to 6 feet shifty some heats better than others
I got knocked out by Uri in the last couple of minutes of our heat but that is competition.
Again the Auzzie guys were in fine for Rawlins Hardy Winchester and the Players. Looked like with a bit of luck the title was anyones in the end It was between Hardy and Winny of the Oz guys Winny seemed to use all his waves up in and awesome semi final and just never got going in the final. It was Hardy's day in the end really good to see him back up the top and on the list of PIPE CHAMPS well done mate.
From there it was a rush we bailed back to Sydney for one of our close friends (Phill Gallagher) and his Now wife Cara Gallagher. The wedding was up near Coffs Harbour. It was a great couple of days fun was had by all maybe a little too much by Ben Williams who was dacked fell over an essky onto a seated Grandma and was left face down on the grass with his lolly bag hanging out the back. Other than the boys no one was too impressed.
Well back at home in WA now just getting ready for some waves here and then of to the Gold coast for the Ozzy Tour contest. I've been working with HB on the new Boards
for 09 and things are coming along very nice so stay tuned to this space for more info.
