Small but fun waves greeted us for our May comp but the cadets and juniors provided plenty of action in the early rounds before conditions deteriorated with the change of tide and gusty winds. Our up and coming Junior, Jimmy Williamson, relished in the conditions to be placed 1st in Juniors and 4th in Open Division and against all odds continued to seal the deal as a force to be reckoned with. Jimmy had his board stolen from a mates car last week and was riding a borrowed board. Keep up the good work Jimmy and let’s hope who ever stole your board has the intestinal fortitude (guts) to own up.

DK also provided some excitement in the early rounds with some very close scores and a fantastic 4 way tussle in the final between Stevie Lloyd, Dane (Poppy) Pope, Adam Rose and Tom MacFarlane. It was a close finish with Dane snapping at the heels of Stevie all the way. Well done to all of you for a great performance in such challenging conditions.

The form in Opens is also hotting up with the Trip to Hawaii up for grabs with many riders in contention. Who will win? Who will receive the prize from Bodyboaders Surf Co @ Coolangatta? Stay tuned!

Remember: QAB Round 2 – 31st May – 1st June – Entries close 17th May.

A big thanks to all helpers on the day and once again thanks to those parents who gave up their time on Mother’s Day to make our May comp successful.
Judging still proves to be an issue with the same people giving up their time to ensure a smooth running event. Everyone needs to remember that if it were not for these people there would be no comp and all must put in some time in the judging tent. I do not want to have to consider a roster system so please consider your responsibility.
