Jake Gordon has taken out the Lancelin Ocean Classic’s inaugural kite surfing Wave contest  on the eve of the event's blue-ribbon Ledge to Lancelin Marathon.

Gordon prevailed in a tight contest made up of four West Australians at Lancelin's Back Beach.

So close was the scoring that the judges were forced to extend the final by five minutes before crowing Gordon ahead of Ryland Blakeney and Andre Carter with Andy Cooksey rounding out the top four.

Conditions were less than ideal with 25-knot winds and head high sets.

30 athletes took part in the event all riding strapless in the four-man double elimination style tournament
Teresa Gordon, wife of Jake, made it a family affair by taking out the Female event while Shannon Ducker finished runner up.

The Junior division was won by 13-year-old Billy Hampton from Margaret River.
