Earlier in the day, the Open Girls Final went right to the wire with Poppy snatching the win from Pia Martin in the closing minute of the contest. Lena Martin surfed well to come in third. Rex Whale dominated the Final of the Open Boys. A selfconfessed novice, he surfed like he had been training for months for this event, pulling off some great manoeuvres.
