Through the eyes of a Grommet!
The Apollo Bay Boardriders held their first monthly comp for the year 2008 at the legendary ‘289’ car park. Offshore winds and a little bit of swell made for barrely shore breaks and some filthy sandy pits guaranteed. The U/12 girls were in the water first with some great young talent in amongst them all.

Next was the U/12 boys with some stylish head dips from Ned Cox and mad hell drops survived by another minor Adam Lalor. Billy Bryant executed some wild manoeuvres across the brown sandy face of the wave.

The U/16 boys paddled out for some sucky barrely waves and some screaming floaters courtesy of Cody Perkins along with young Daniel Armstrong hot on his trail also with some good surfing.

Up next was the open Women with Ella Bourne catching some long rides from the outside peak. There was also some ankles to be done in the women’s, Cate Thomas milked a wave right to
the shore and stepped off on to some shallow water only to hear a crack of a broken ankle.

The last final of the day was the open men’s finalists out for a tough heat for all. Even though there was a lack of good waves it didn’t phase much of the finalists so they really got out there and ripped.
