Top day!!!! Teensiest of waves, but still so much fun and at least it really felt like summer.
A hats off to the judging too, so hard to differentiate in those sort of waves, yet still scores of 7 and 8 getting put down regularly, good stuff!
Some interesting moves went down due to the small surf, like JBs switch take off to 180 revert ( was it Jordy Smith out there?), Sam was just styling big carves ( incredible flow for the conditions), and Dan & Goaty threw down some massive slashes and reos, well deserved winners, BUT...
The highlight had to be Santa!! Top score went to his helicopter stall 180 lip slide in the semi. And after throwing down many a Santa Snap he pulled out of his sack the set wave of the heat in the first round, and then, followed this up with a full head dip tube ride. We are talking full on, Santa beard dragging in the face!! Woohoo - beard stall!!
