From Mike Stewart:

It was a really tight final Ben had two 10's Mark had a 10 and a 9.5 I got a 9.5 and an 8. It basically got down to who got the waves and like the gentlemen that we are we all took turns. Who ever got the winning wave would win and Ben had two of them.

Well the compo went well man!! I won my first heat knockin out Kingy, 2nd in the semis knockin out John Showell.

The final was crazy man waves were just so good!! I got a 10 and a 9.5 and Ben Player got a 10 and 9.8 to win by .2!!!
Mike Stewart got 3rd and Jeff Hubb 4th...
I am sure there will be some good write ups but I have to go party now!!
I will do a write up tomorrow if you want me too?

Cheers

Another message from someone who I'm sure would have enjoyed the conditions:

Mark McCarthy got second in the Shark Island Challenge! He scored a 9.5 and 10 in the final and only lost out by 0.2! Ben Player got first. Mark is an absolute legend and he has been representing big time in Australia.
