Mr Price WP Open

Well Well Well, it's been a really busy two weeks since the S.A champs. The weekend before saw the Mr Price WP Open where my boys were really kicking up a storm. In almost near perfect Trestles look alike conditions at Long Beach, Kommetjie.

Shaun Joubert was the man to beat making both the u/20 and open final his arch rival Chad du Toit also qualified for both finals showing the older crew that the young guns are coming through fast and furious.

Despite sterling performances from both these surfers it was tall kid Matt Bromley with his new strategy that took the u/20 final convincingly with two strong rides, Mickey Feb was looking hot in the final when he scored a 9 on his first wave but was very unfortunate not to get a back up wave therefor finishing 2nd overall. Shaun Jobubert and Chad du Toit finished 3rd and 4th respectively.

In the open men's division, Gavin Roberts continued his show of form after having just won the S.A senior champs by finishing 4th overall. Shaun Joubert was very stoked to make both finals although slightly disappointed not having won one of the divisions in the near perfect surf, he was ripping throughout the event and managed a consistent 3rd. Brendon Gibbens finished 2nd overall continuing his string of good results this year, Chad du Toit redeemed his fourth place finish in the Juniors by taking out the open men's.

Mossel Bay Ripper Johann Kriek dominated his heats up until the final were he was unable to get a solid back up score which left him with a equal 5th overall, a great result, well done.
