Scarborough Boardriders’ pointscore number 8 for this year was held on Sunday, 21 August at Coledale. Conditions started clean early with a bit of a wild afternoon for the Finals.
Congrats to Tim Bilmon who was all over it in the Open Men’s. Joshua Pepper in 2nd probably had the second highest wave-count and used his advantage to power through some big turns. Shaun Warren was coming second but despite throwing everything at it couldn’t keep the intensity up. Rod Morgan nearly made the air of the day, while it was great to see style master and newcomer Morgan in the final too!
In the Open Women’s, Kasey Hargreaves continued her 2022 year of dominance with an impressive win in challenging waves. Talina Wilson was second and Amira Rankin third.
In the 18s, Lenny Golding got the win for his bigger waves with bigger turns. Oscar Hargreaves was second, and Cooper Smoley just missed a few turns that could have put him in the lead. Special mention to Charlie Kelly who looked super sharp.
