Our July pointscore was delayed a week and ran on Sunday, August 4 at our local Scarborough Beach. The cracking day had it all – waves, sunshine, even a spit roast on the beach, surely you can’t beat that!
Josh Pepper was coming in hot as he made it two from two in A-Grade, taking out the final in sizzling form edging out Will Clark in 2nd and Harrison Agnew in 3rd. And, speaking of sizzling, with his brother out with a broken arm, Sam Kornek stepped up to record one of the highest heat totals of the day to take out the 12s.
The battle for the 18s was as fierce as ever with Ashton nudging out Finn O’Connor this month.
The Open Women was a closely fought battle between the Short sisters, with Shyla taking the win from Zhalia. Despite decent solid sets throughout the day, it was great to see the junior girls and parental assist divisions take to the water with some fearless displays from these young surfers.
The 35s perhaps ended up as the closest battle with less than half a point separating Jeremy Povey, Dave Hyslop and El Presidente Christian, with Jeremy taking the win, much to the delight of his family on the beach. Surfing was definitely the winner of the day!
