July’s comp was held @ the Wareham Street entrance @ Suffolk Park. Pretty good
3 – 4 ft waves gave the guys some action considering that on Saturday arvo it was
just 5 ft whitewash everywhere.
RESULTS WERE :
CADETS / JUNIORS : 1. Tom Halvorsen
2. Jack Cerne
3. Casey Robinson
4. Dave Gallagher
OPENS : 1. Kristian Gerathy
2. Ben McDonald
3. Daniel Peterson
4. Brody Zagar
DROPKNEE : 1. Ben McDonald
2. Axcel Frankland
3. Matt Tyndale
4. Jessie Colbey
BEST EFFORT : The Juniors final was the highest average scoring heat of the day.
All 4 traded blow for blow with our cadet, Tom Halvorsen knocking over the front
running Juniors for today’s title. Top effort, Tom !!
BEST SCORER : Kenny, our resident South Park stand-in scored top points in his
1st heat which was a huge effort since he lost his flipper, came in and grabbed a
replacement and then returned to the water to finish with another high scorer.
Well done Brody – it was great to see you back having a go.
BIGGEST UPSET : It was great to welcome Matt Tyndale back after his stint OS
and he surfed like a champion in hisfirst DK heat. But somehow he went AWOL in
the final and allowed Mr Smartass Ben McDonald and Mr Cameraman Axcel
Frankland to overtake him, and of course, they strutted their stuff @ presentation
- sorry Matt !!
QUOTE OF THE DAY : This question from Neville Battersby was definitely worth a
mention. He had competed earlier in a DK heat and when he was putting on his
rashie to go out in his usual prone event, asked ” AM I LYING DOWN IN THIS ONE,
FRANK ? “ Poor Neville !!
Thanx again Wally for taking care of BBQ duties so confidently. Thanx also to Ryan
Wakefield for turning up with his dicky knee and judging all day – it was a great
help. And also another big thank you to Axcel, who is fitting into the position of
resident Photographer very well.
Cheers, Frank ……. invertedbyronbay@bigpond.com / ph 6680 7100.
