Les Simons, Bob Kennerson and all the other member of the Crescent Mal Club did a massive job again. Les, after running the best contest in Australia for many years, retired from the job, and goes with the best wishes of everyone who attends this weekend

The good waves lasted all four days, and in the end, Dane Wilson was all over the waves in the Open Mens final. He defeated Harley Ingleby, Matt Cuddihy, Matt Chojnacki, Jye Byrnes and Andy McDonald.
