What a great day on Saturday. Decent steady swell with few lulls. Head high at times. Lots of clean faces. Calm winds. Broken cloud giving way to sunshine and a crowd of 400 to 500. We had an excellent day.

Smaller, less consistant swell. Onshore winds. Same morning fog/cloud, breaking out into sunshine in the afternoon. Crowd was a little smaller than Saturday

It was a good weekend. What a miracle swell! Saturday morning was
absolute Cox bay perfection. Sometimes surf contests are blessed with
waves. I think Jesse sent us some this time. The girls competition was
fierce this year. Lots of competition and everyone was surfing well. The
south island girls ( Melanie and Leah ) really pulled through and were
showing everyone what they can do. Catherine is totally amazing, the
fact that she played in the sand with her kids until the second her heat
was in the water and then surfed so well. Moms really are
multi-talented!
I was stoked to see so much support for the girls part of the contest.
Thanks to Roxy and to Doug at Gallaz for all the rad prizes.But what's
up with the guys on the girls trophies? the Roxy hula chicks were
better!
