Cobbles Classic - wrap & results

9/16/2013

2 Comments

 
This will be a contest never forgotten! All who participated whether contestant or spectator will agree that something special happened this weekend. Surfing in its truest form was shared by all this contest.

We were blessed with such cooking waves for the whole weekend making the judges sweat to decide who advanced and who dropped out. I have never seen so many losers of a heat still so stoked after their surf. The results truly didn’t matter, it was more a case of everyone hoping for the top 4 surfers to be in the final so that we could watch this beautiful display of old school surfing. The only problem being that there was only enough space for 4 surfers!!

The whole mob
In the ladies final there were less than 2 points between all the contestants, with such a close result, no one really knew until the results were read out. The ladies results:

1)     Shannon Bolotin (Queen of Cobbles)
2)     Bernie Shelley
3)     Hannah Bing
4)     Susannah Leigh
5)     Mia Baard

In the Classics final, there was a stand out winner with his unbelievable sense of style, composure and class. Paul o Connel from Cape Town also showed the PE crowds a thing or two about old school surfing, the results were:

1)     Greg Smith
2)     Paul o Connel
3)     Etienne Verster
4)     Eddie Dumont

King & Queen of Cobbles aka Ludi & Shannon
In the open division, and seeking the title of King of Cobbles we literally watched the judges confusion as it was so close and so tight!! We had 2 x SA champ Justin Bing with all his flair, Jamie “Mr Style” Morris doing it his way, Ludi Du Toit hungry for a win in a contest suited for his classic surfing and dark horse of the contest Craig Cuff who proved why he will always be one of SA’s best! The results:

1)     Ludi du Toit (King of Cobbles)
2)     Justin Bing
3)     Craig Cuff
4)     Jamie Morris

I must also make mention of 2 surfers who just missed out on the final. Dean Simpson and Greg Smith who where unbelievable to watch and when a surfer gets a heat score of 16 out of twenty and gets a third you must know how incredible the surfing was (look out for the full video coverage).
