OH MAGOO ... YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN!!!
-
Dateline: Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th April
-
Place Soldier's Beach - Central Coast - NSW
-
Reason: The Annual Magoo Charity Classic
-
Well, Huey certainly delivered the goods for the two-day Magoo Charity Classic (yet again)
-
Over this two day weekend, a total of 11 divisions were run & won
-
This year it was great to see the Ladies out in force
-
Saturday started at 7am (on the dot!!) with some great little peaks in the 2-4 foot range
-
Weather was great
-
Wind remained virtually non-existent
-
All the Heats and a few Semi's were run
-
Saturday evening at the Beachcomber Hotel saw a big get-together of contestants and friends for the Charity Classic Auction
-
Sunday dawned clear with a rise, and change in direction, of swell
-
Today's start was to be 8am, but it nearly didn't eventuate, as the gate to the Soldier's Beach Carpark was still locked at 6.45am
-
But as with the Saturday start, Sunday started on time
-
The remaining Semi's were run 'n won in some great, but shifting conditions
-
It was tough going to find a sweet take-off spot, but when you did, you ended up with an absolute cracker
-
By the time the Finals rolled around the weather had taken a dramatic change
-
A weather front was moving in from down Sydney-way
-
When it hit, the ocean turned into a mass of whitewater, making wave (chop) selection very difficult
-
The Judge's and Contest Director's tents had to be dismantled before they were blown into the carpark
-
It was also a great change to not have heaps of free-surfers encroaching on the contest area
-
Overall, they were well-behaved
-
Another successful Magoo held in the Aloha Spirit
-
This year's Magoo was the first open contest to be run by Mitch Fraser, and I think most people would've agreed that it went really well.
