Day 2 Hurley SA Champs...

10/10/2014

0 Comments

 
Things got a little more whipped up today – the wind blew a little harder which always makes things a little more interesting. Better surfing conditions, local knowledge and our surfing talent produced some exciting heats. The sets rolled in beautifully, 2 – 3 foot offshore, for most of the day. 


The Point didn’t disappoint. We had some outstanding results.  Maybe it also had something to do with our real live mascot – Zak – the Smith’s dog – who ran up and down the beach with “EP” plastered on his back. You couldn’t miss him! The kids even painted brand new eyebrows on him. He did cut a striking picture.  
Team support was strong as ever, and in between heats, there was a whole lot of face (and body) painting going on. Check out Alex and Sebastian, Dylan and a few others in the pics. They do look rather beautiful and….. terrifying. 

Today was also a day to be inspired. Kia Fenton showed us all how true champions behave. Although she was knocked out, she showed grit and determination right to the end, catching one of her best waves seconds before the end of the heat. She never gave up. As coach Etienne said, “This kind of behaviour is the mark of a true sports(wo)man. She inspired us all today”.  

We also had Twiggy Baker on the beach today, and together with fellow Big Wave Surfer, Frankie Oberholzer, they added a different dimension to the competition. Nice to have them roaming our beaches!
