State Titles

The 3rd and final round of the state titles went down yesterday at knights. Rolling up to the knights carpark the infamous wedge looked dismal. It was about 1 foot and barely wedging. A few discussions were made, and a few claims saying knights will be shit upon high tide and that we should head out to swell magnet waits beach. But Co-ordinator Tim Doman was a man on a mission saying the swell would pulse mid morning and that the comp was at knights.

The first few heats were held in small surf with a few wedges coming through. If you got a wedge in the 25 minute heats you were most properly on a way to victory. But as the day went on the swell began to rise and the wedges began to come through more constantly.
The 3rd round of the Bodyboard club was also held with the biggest turn out yet taking part in the fun little wedges.
After a long day of outrageous commentry conversations between Ned Raggat and myself, some really good heats and properly some of the closest most competitive surfing ever seen at a state titles, I was beaten by Jasper with his last ditch effort, with a tube to overtake me to take out top spot. Myself coming second closely followed by young Carlo and then Jacko.
The day wasn't a complete failure after I took out my second consecutive club comp, just beating karl morgan.
