October Session

Sunday 6:35 am at Ann St, the place was deserted and I wandered up towards the platform to find Luke, Scott, Mat, Mick and Anthony having a yarn. The surf was poor, a lumpy 2ft with not a soul in the water. Luckily Daryl had checked out the beach breaks on his way south and at his advice we headed up to 11 at Kawana.  The banks were ok although there was a good crowd of assorted short boards and mals all vying for the small peaks.  Daryl reckoned all we needed was a paddle board to complete the collection no sooner than he uttered those words than a paddle board magically appeared on the outer bank!
At least it was warm, only rashies needed.


It’s spring, it’s 2 ft and we will have to share

Down to business 1st draw, Daryl, Luke, Mat and Byron. Daryl parked himself in the middle of the pack where he was quite content to bristle at the crowd and dodge traffic each wave he caught.  Luke and Byron were content on the fringes.  Sometimes the fringes got a little congested as well. Luke had a good run of waves while Byron struggled to find a decent wave. Mat couldn't buy a wave either. The heat finished Daryl, Luke, Byron and Matt. The next round was Anthony, Mick and Scott. Scott was quickly into action and seemed to find the best waves. Anthony kept finding closeouts.

    
Luke, Scott and Daryl

   
Luke doing the ... Luke thing

  
Byron and Luke do their best to eliminate each other and confuse the judges.

Mick looking menacing,
as best he can with that hat on

Scotty !!   and the worlds smallest barrel ??

Mick ended up sitting out the back with nothing much happening. Anthony finally got into the swing of things late in the heat. Mick came in a little closer, also in the later part of the heat and started to pick a few point scoring waves That heat finished with Scott, Anthony and then Mick. Next round was the reperchage. Both Byron and Mick finally warmed up and started catching waves, unfortunately Mat didn't seem to get a good run of waves. Final placings Byron, Mick then Mat.  The final ran out with Scott, Daryl, Luke and Anthony.  Daryl started well once again sitting in the middle of the crowd picking off some nice lefts, Luke found a few small waves, while Anthony had some quality rides but lacked the quantity. Scott in the mean time had his wave magnet turned onto maximum and was picking off winning waves at the right time. Daryl made a big comeback towards the end with Luke hot on his tail, both closing in on Scott. Scott's last wave it was a gem and the highest scoring wave of the day.

  
Scott  (wave magnet)  -  ... bottom  turn  ... and SLASH !!
woohoo !


The final results : 

1. Scott
2. Daryl
3. Luke
4. Anthony

After the comp we all went out for a free surf all agreed it was a good day, with lots of delightful scenery when the waves were wanting.

cheers,
Byron

thanks to  Byron, Scott, Rhys and Matt for pointing the cameras



Someone is hiding in there - Scott perhaps ?
