Shaun Joubert makes his come back almost half way through the year and wins the Oakley pro junior in Port Alfred over the weekend. The kid was on fine form throughout the entire contest and was so stoked when the end of the heat came and he had won. Shaun has been very patient over the last few months, looking for a solid result. After the experience and the highest place finish at the world Games in Equador, equal 8th, it was just a matter of time till he won an event.
Brendon Gibbons finished a convincing second, Bendon was the man to beat at the event but fell short in the hard contested final. Its great to see the young man applying himself and his talent finally getting the results he deserves.
In almost perfect surf Shaun dominated the event and took down the best surfers in the country as well as some international talent. Friday saw Matt Bromley steal the lime light by surfing exceptionally well and turning heads scoring strong 7 point rides.
Other stand outs were mr consistent the angle grinder Davey Brand who made quarter finals and finished equal 5th with his good friend Jacob Mellish.
Davey, hot off a 3rd place finish at the World Games in Ecuador took down some big names utilising his strong back hand. Jacob Mellish after a slow start this year has come out the gates, firing on all four cylinders and surfed hard and fast throwing down some big turns to make it through some stiff heats and into the quarter finals.
Tanika Hoffman did exceptionally well making the most of the long right handers, the strong back hand Tanika turn assisting her to the semi final, finishing 3rd overall.
