The LQS Womens final was held first, and though pushed the whole 30 minutes by Ballina's Melissa Combo, Chelsea Williams again won through. Selby Riddle was third, then Isabelle Braley.

The LQS Mens also had fantastic waves, only waisthigh, but ideal for longboarding in front of a large crowd. After days of rain showers, the sun even came out in time for it. American Taylor Jensen won wuith 18.70, from Josh Constable 17.15, then Christian Wach and Harrison Roach.

ALB had the only water photographer out there, Scott Wintle, and his images will feature in ALB#63, on sale April 15. We held back the printing to fit our Noosa coverage in.
