Shore Surfing Competition Report
On Saturday, 32 surfers competed in the Shore Surfing Competition at Long Reef Beach. Clean, consistent surf conditions made for some hard-fought heats, with the Senior competition final being a real battle between the finalists.
In the Juniors, Henry P dominated his heat surfing comfortably through into the final, while Max W, Marcos Perez and Will Lacroix did enough in their semi-finals to make it to the final.
The Senior competition was extremely close. Sam P and Lachie Warner won their heats narrowly, while Duncan C and Oli Arnold had very good opening round heats. In the Senior Semi-finals, Sam P and Duncan C again sailed through. Noah K had a very strong semi-final to qualify for the final ahead of Lachie Warner. Jasper Pressley and Oli Arnold scraped into the final in tight semi-finals.
The Senior final was an exchange of waves, with very tight scores. Congratulations to Sam P and Henry P, who prevailed on the day.
