Over 50's went to: Ken Joslin 1st , Rosco Hassum 2nd , Barry Hatch 3rd & Kevin Joslin 4th (1st two qualify for Aussies)

Sorry for the sh!tty pics between surfing and on the mic , not much time to run around and take snaps.

so what brands of boards were the other riders on

JP cleaned up in the surfing Lahui kai in the bop. Dewes , margetts , Locke. Hats off to everyone , pretty challenging conditions , plenty of thrills and spills. Young lincon smashed it , kelly fought back to be not far behind and the dark horse Locke went unreal. Ritcho trashed his board , and their where plenty of tired facesCouldnt quite understand the choice of location , but anyway was a very exciting race.Id say after a big weekend of racing their will be some very tired bodies.
