Round #8

The righthanders at the rivermouth set the stage for  the double a rated round eight, the final competition for the 2009-2010 Margaret River Boardriders club.

Rain squalls combined with the gusty norwest wind fanned the fast peeling rights, opening up the barrells as they hit the shallow sand bank. 

After a long season the open division was still up for grabs between old stagers Dave Mcauley and Andrew Sherriden. Both made the final setting up a  battle with young guns Blake McDonald and Jethro Hedstrom. River rights are allways a big challenge for the goofy footers and D-Mac certainly  had his work cut out for him against these three talented natural footers. With trademark re-entrys going  beyond vertical Andy Sherro blasted his way into into first place, securing this years open title. Jethro,s surfing of late has stepped up a notch and his fast down the line attack saw him tie up a hard fought second spot over evergreen wave shredder, Dave McMaculey. Blake McDonald threaded an awsome barrel in his semi but was unable to find another, sewing up forth position in the final.

The Deep Heat division (senior mens) final proved that Goofyfooters can win at the river rights with Brad Cowan milking the best waves to come through to take first place and another senior title. James Clark surfed with great spontenaety to secure second place with Mick shaw third, edging newcomer Clint McGwirter into fourth spot.

The Junior Division saw Robbie Woods wave selection and great style tie up first place with big turns on a peeling set wave sealing the deal early in the final. Stylemaster Shaun Green went wave for wave against surf mate Riley Holley and took second place with a great wave late in the procedings with Riley unable to find his way out of some deep tubes coming third. With Huey dishing up some of the most challenging waves of the season, all the competitors put on a great display in the tricky but rewarding conditions that the rivermouth is well known for. Thanks to all for making this a great season for the club and looking foward to seeing you all again  next october.
