Update Feb 22nd
A great start to the event for the club with Tom and Mikey posting heat wins and the Pres coming 2nd. Day one of the 2013 Volcom Kirra Teams Challenge saw a vast change in conditions and a massive contrast in wave size from the morning heats to those surfed in the afternoon. The first few heats saw some nice 3-4ft runners peel down the point from little Marley through to Greenmount headland allowing competitors to reel off some great carves and cutties to achieve waves scores in the mid range. As the tide dropped the Rainbow Bay section decreased in size and became very sweepy & choppy. The start of Round 2 saw the first surfers venture out to the Snapper section which had previously been a close out. As the afternoon rolled on every team committed to the Snapper bank, which started to fire. At the end of the day Le-Ba held the lead equal with Kirra, Snapper and Coolum. Keep it up fellas.
Update Feb 23rd
Mixed day today in stormy messed up D'Bah peaks but still really good overall. Sunny posted a 2nd missing the win by 0.17. Marcus came 3rd and Jock finished the day for the club with a win. Woody and Stu to bring it home tomorrow. Good luck fellas
Update Feb 24th
Woody and Stu both smashed it today with heat wins in clean 2' - 4' D'Bah peaks. Those results kept the club in the leaders pack . At the end of the day Le-Ba finished 3rd taking home $2000 prize money and once again showing why we are regarded as one of Australia's best clubs. Well done to all the surfers and support crew.
