Seal Point Boardriders Club Championships – Seal Point, 8/9 June 2024
Venue: Seal Point
Conditions: Decent swell, a bit of wind on Saturday, slightly smaller on Sunday, but an epic, warm and windless day.
What an amazing event the Seal Point Boardriders Club Championships was! Groms, ballies, moms, dads, and top surfers were all competing and having fun. The Saturday arvo surfing spilt over to the Pig and Rooster for a couple of quiet beers, burgers, etc., before the FOSTER jol later that night and the morning of the finals the next day.
Sunday started chilly, but it soon became an epic day, and Cape St Francis was soon showing off.
The finals were epic for all contestants, with everyone getting their fair share of waves and non-competitors enjoying the outside beachbreak peaks.
A few select highlights.
The new crew of young grom girl surfers stepped up to the plate at the point, and there will be some champions coming out of that group one day in the near future. Hinatea Chretin was the winner and won herself a custom Fishstix surfboard for her efforts.
On top of that, Faye Zoetmulder was the only surfer to secure a 10-point ride during the event.
Max Burrows arrived on the scene with a second place in the grom boys
Rody Dace continued to win everything in sight, taking both the juniors and open Men’s divisions.
The Paddle Battle was loads of fun, with Slayde and Brin taking the honours.
Richard Arderne was a standout in the O60, placing second behind Andre and taking out both Ed and Dennis.
Billy Payne was toppled from the Open Division, coming 4th in the category he usually dominates.
Thanks to everyone for coming down, for helping out and for supporting. It was a great attendance, and a good jol the whole weekend.
