The conditions for Comp 4 were an exact replica of Comp 3. Some solid 4 to 5ft waves in front of the surf club at Southend. Winds were straight offshore early and went a bit more SW during the day but that did not impact us. There were some solid waves ridden and a number of the surfers scoring waves in the upper end of the judging scale. In some heats it was a battle of survival as close out set after closeout set came through and in others it was way more manageable. It was really down to individual tactics to decide who progressed.
Each Final was a surfing spectacle so well done to all the finalist and Congrats to all the Divisional winners
