Revelling in the excellent conditions, Steph enjoyed his surfing this morning.

Having been consistently throwing up scores within the eight and nine point range, Walshy continued on his way with an 8.75 this morning.
“The level of surfing on show is unbelievable,”
“It’s like surfing in a WQS (ASP World Qualifying Series) event.”
“Being in my first Na Papa Australian Titles, this is really good for my surfing and confidence.”
