Last weekend was an absolute gem of a weekend from start to finish with a solid swell and perfect offshore conditions.
Those that ventured were truely blessed.

Looks like it was a great contest with great waves, any info on the 1st ride rider and his weird board (with the reduced area nose / reverse stinger - a custom I guess ?:-)

Ha ha yep "Nemo" is a custom that Ben Mardon from Geraldton made himself, as you can see it works for him.

Nice work Scotty, yep that certainly had to be the best conditions ever for a SUP comp in Australia didn't it, it pumped for days.

What you can't see on the video is that most times when someone was going left there was someone destroying the right at the same time and vice versa, tough work for the judges at times but they did well.
