South Coast Classic: Day One Results and Report Back
posted by Janet Middleton on 4th May 2013
Day
One of the South Coast Classic 2013 kicked off today at Margate Main
Beach, with the swell
arriving in quick pulses and building throughout the day. Windy, cross-shore
conditions made for some tough heats, but the riders managed to pull off some incredible
moves!
South
African bodyboarding champion, Tristan Roberts dominated his Junior heat with a
big, clean invert and a smoothly executed backflip. Newcomer to South African
bodyboarding, Ethan Footit made it through to the boys final where he will
compete with local boys rider, Alex Nutt, who surfed really well today with
good, clean rolls.
The
Drop Knee heats were really exciting with some big floaters from Stuart Bradford, Michael Ostler and Rheinhard du
Toit.
In the Pro Division, the standards were high with Mark McCarthy, Tristan
Roberts, Terence Pieters, Matthew Lombard and Michael Ostler pulling of clean manoeuvres
in the good conditions. Terence, Mark and Tristan all landed big backflips and
great combination waves.
Tomorrow
will be the second and final day of the South Coast Classic in Margate. Check in will be at 7am at the Margate Main Beach,
which holds promise for the finals with good winds and even better swell. There
will also be a paddle-out in remembrance of the owner of Koko's Nightclub, one
of sponsors of the South Coast Classic.
