Round 3 of the Wellington Autumn Surf Series, (presented by Mankychops) will be held tomorrow at ‘Ning Nong’ on the way to Ngawi. There is a small south west swell on the rise with nth east winds, so it will be quite fun, fingers crossed! So come over and score yourself some prizes!!! 9am regos, with a 9.30 1st heat in the water, see you all there!!!

2012 Autumn Series Comp #2 Cancelled

Wellington Boardriders — Fri, 04 May 2012 07:33:59 +0000

Huey delivered a stonking swell a couple of days ago but now there’s nothing left so we’ve cancelled tomorrow’s comp. It’s looking like the waves will either be non-existent or very marginal on all coasts - hardly the sort of thing you’d want to venture over the coast for etc.

The third comp is due to take place in a few weeks and we’re optimistic about scoring some great waves on the day. We’ll keep you in the loop closer to the time : c )

Comp 3, 2011 Autumn Surf Series – Ripping in the Rain

Wellington Boardriders — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 10:34:21 +0000

The day before the third and final comp in the Autumn Surf Series was a classic day you only get @ Lyall about 10 times a year. It was well over head with super light winds and plenty of barrels. Naturally, we made the call on the Friday night hoping that the corner would still be dishing out silky smooth cylindrical spheres on Saturday.

When we rocked up on Saturday morning it was far from epic but there were still some occasional one and a half footers coming in. A good bunch of competitors had braved the cold, wet morning and fronted up too so it was ‘on’.

As soon as the call was made to start heats the swell picked up a bit and pretty consistent shoulder height sets started to come in. In fact, most competitors were able to rack up around five waves in their heats.

There was a nice, relaxed feeling about the day and Ilan (contest director) had it all under control. The heats were anything but relaxed though and they were all fiercely competed. The Men’s Open Final was particularly sick and featured some top-level surfing and some big scores. Although all of the surfers in the final did well, Jeremy Buckley was a deserving winner. In his top scoring wave he got a nice clean barrel, bashed a nice waft, did a full round house cutty and a finished the wave with another hit….not bad : c )

The results:

Open Mens:
1 Jeremy Buckley

2 Ilan Fisher
3 Pete Maloney

4 David CrofootJuniors:
1 Jack McDonald
2 Josh Martelli
3 Struan Griffiths
4 Liam Tume

Over 30s:
1 Jeremy Buckley
2 James Whitaker
3 Russell Miller
4 Mark TumeWomens:
1 Hayley Rogers
2 Maria Wandle
3 Zoe Adams

The winners were grinners too considering they received stacks of goodies from Gordons Wetsuits, Oakley Sunnies, Stoke Beers, Manky Chops, DVS Shoes, Realsurf and Wild Style. We’d like to thank the sponsors for coming to the party and the surfers for contributing to a fun (albeit bloody freezing) day.
