Garie Boardriders: 2019 Championship Results

2019 Pointscore Results

What a great season was had at Garie. We were blessed by the wave gods and the weather for all 8 of the pointscore competitions. Whilst other beaches were near flat, we enjoyed some cracking overhead conditions this year. The old south swell magnet did not fail to deliver.

The stand out was Fishkiller, taking his 6th open title and the double, nudging out Danga in the Master's. It was great to see Chris McKay back in the fold as well as Simmo. Chris took second in Open and 3rd in Masters. New blood Kane Mood was consistent and rewarded with a 3rd in Open.

The Juniors was very close and Cruz McKee took it out from Jarred and Zac. Zac also took out a 1st place in the Open in one competition this year, with a great performance. With a few more competitions under Zac's belt the pointscore would have be different.

In the Micros it was the families ruling the roost. Koby took out the boys and Chynna took out the girls. The gloms are gaining confidence in bigger waves and have no fear taking on the power of Garie's beach breaks. Watch out Juniors....

Last but not least, at least by age, is the over 60's Dukes. Hans had the measure of the Ryan boys this year but again Ryno's let down was not surfing in at least 6 events. Craig Vernon joins the Dukes next year and Neil Tasker the year after so there will be pressure on the old guard in the Dukes afoot in the next couple of years. We have 18 Dukes on the books and hope to see many more having a crack next year.

Special thanks to the core group that never let us down every year, getting down there, setting up and running the competitions, Shaggy (aka Minister for Drinks), Danga, Don, Woody and Fishy.

With a shift from 1st to 16th in 2018 - we won't publicly name NASA for 2019 but he did take out the week trip to Rote - Mercy Hurts http://mercyhuts.com, once he read his ticket number correctly!

To our families Mums and Dads who make a big effort and also help out with the judging, we love having you down at Garie and look forward to seeing you all down there again in 2019.

Finally, to all our sponsors listed on the right of this page. Without out your kind support this is not possible and we thank you all for your ongoing support.
