Who where the grinners?

well starlet gc was the winner in my books..
i would like to know where all the spectators were though. one longboarder and a confused short/long/sup boarder were there...but nobody else.
thought more sup crew would be out checking all that went down. oh well i guess its just easier talking about it on seabreeze

The bank was way out and from my view there was some good surfing happening.
Winter nah still boardies stuff how good is thatNo bbq what the I was keen to munch

And a beer or two! What were the results?

In the over 40's final

1st Andy Smith (NSW)

2nd Ritcho

3rd Piros

4th Pete Dorries

With Andy being from NSW myself & Ritcho qualified for the Aussies , pretty stoked.

The mens was such a battle with all the talent in the field , it was a long day with heats , quarters , semis then the final. Dogman was on the mic all day just cracking up the crowd , classic calling at it's best The girls final was so good to watch they just charged it in changing conditions.

Another professionally run event by surfing Queensland , the scoring was different to other contest with scores going to more big moves than length of ride , so dish panning was thick and fast along with big rail turns and bucket chucking.

Ladies
were - Shaq
Jenny Ryan
Ali

That's crazy mate, looks like it went 215!!!!
Also looked like you only got two waves??

looks more like 4 or 5 waves just 2 were longer than the rest???

yeah pretty sure 5 waves, crazy how the heart rate was the highest when i was on the wave surfing. Good to see surfing is really just like training as well!!

Yep Surfing is a great workout for your racing> Your so focused on the waves and having fun you don notice the workout.
Been a comp your not stopping for a rest or slowing down to cruise out so its a top work-out.

Go Smitty! Good to see him doubling with a win in the 40s and the Kingscliff Amateur Division!
Looks like he gets a start in the Aussies after reading the Qld Surfing website...

Meanwhile, Anthony Smith (Cabarita, Qld – 14.67) caused an upset for the local contingent in the O/40 mixed gender division, outpointing Steve Richardson (Currumbin, Qld – 11.27), Robert Pirie (Sorento, Qld – 9.73) and Pete Dorries (Elanora, Qld – 8.10) who finished second to fourth respectively.

Cabarita must be in the hazy Qld/NSW catchment zone too, good to see!

Great to meet you and Mac on Saturday and finally put faces to the breezers!

what a good comp

but where was the after party with bands n booze and the odd taco stand

what i saw at the comp thru my beer googles

was a very hi level of surfing going down from everyone and i mean everyone .....ripping it

and i think qld dont have too much to worry about at the aussie titles this year in all divisions

unless something like a "mysterious bug" goes thru there camp and wipes them all out........... which can be arranged

the event was blessed with great waves for the entire comp

with not even a dud heat that had nothing on offer

hats off to the surfing queensland motley crew for doing it tough trying to pick a compeditor from free sup'er at times during the morning with the intence glare from the sun and fresh hangovers......not my finest moment in my life losing my sunnies the day before

it was great to sitdown and "spray crap at everyone" via those lovely bose speakers and i got to watch everyone having crack out in the water

...........till next time everyone

ps. if you see me rolling around in a gutter along the goldcoast strip in the next few days just give me a pat and a good kick up the butt to move me along

Hope the Maroon Skarf comes in handy on those cold early mornings at Minnie.
You know who's on the Golden Days/Power of the Paddle commentary team??.

Great work on the Mic Roger,glad I got on the loosers bus early and didn't wait for the BBQ/beer

Thanks Rob.I had that deBoitz kid covered at the 7 minute mark in the opens,then he pulled that 9 against my 6.2.

Those couple of 7 pointers you got in our heat were a lesson in how to do classic full rail carves.

When you get a chance, bring the big camera for a tour of our seldom surfed spots spots around the southern Sunny Coast.You won't believe the uncrowded quality.All you guys seem to keep driving to Noosa or D.I.
